The spinning time has to be determined by the quality of the trims and the ratio trims-water-ice. The first spin is the most delicate because there is often more ice than necessary to keep the water ice-cold and the trims may have not soaked long enough so it is important to keep it as gentle as possible by spinning only 5 to 7 minutes. Check the color of your water when you empty the machine, the water should look clean even while taking a dark shade of color from the leaves, the trims should not look beaten up in the machine. If that is the case you have nailed your first timing, add a 2 - 3 more minutes of spinning, the water of your second run should have a lighter shade and so on. Spinning time is very important, less is better
