FAQs
Does it work with diet sodas?
Yes, the Chillfactor works with most beverages, though sugary drinks typically produce a thicker, more 'slushy' consistency than diet drinks.
Can I put the mug in the dishwasher?
No, you must hand-wash the mug to protect the integrity of the cooling gel inside.
How long does it stay frozen?
The mug is designed for one serving per freezing cycle. Once it reaches room temperature, it must be refrozen for 8-10 hours.
Can I use hot liquids in the mug?
No, never pour hot liquids into the mug as this will immediately neutralize the freezing agent.
Is it safe for young children?
Yes, it is suitable for children 4 years and older, though supervision is recommended to ensure proper usage.
Troubleshooting
The drink is not turning into a slush
Ensure the mug was frozen for the full 8-10 hours and that the beverage used was already cold before pouring.
The mug is too hard to squeeze
Let the mug sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before you start kneading to allow the material to become more pliable.
Consistency is too liquidy
Continue kneading for another 30-60 seconds. Ensure you are squeezing the sides firmly to engage the internal cooling surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply ensure the mug is clean and dry before placing it in the freezer. To maintain the life of your Chillfactor, always hand-wash the mug and straw with warm, soapy water after every use. Do not put the mug in the dishwasher, as the high heat can damage the internal cooling gel. Ensure the mug has returned to room temperature before attempting to clean it to avoid thermal shock. If you plan on making multiple slushies, consider purchasing a second mug so one can stay in the freezer while you use the other.
