Cotton Candy Machine Instructions

Follow these instructions to operate the machine correctly. If you have any questions about proper use, please call the store (260) 484-3964 and ask for assistance.

Important Information

·         Never operate equipment for a prolonged period of time with the HEAT CONTROL in a position that causes the sugar to smoke. This will result in excessive carbonization of the ribbon (heat element). If you smell burning sugar or se smoke, reduce the heat.

·         Keep foreign objects out of the head. Floss head rotates at 3450 r.p.m. Operator must keep hands and face clear of head and keep spectators at a reasonable distance. For safety, always use a floss bubble.

·         Extensions Cords should not be used. You should have a properly sized outlet right at the machine.

Controls

·         MAIN SWITCH: Turns motor on or off and supplies current to the heat switch.

·         HEAT SWITCH: Turns current to the ribbon on or off.

·         HEAT CONTROL: this thermostat increases or decreases voltage to ribbon wire heating element graduation. The ECONO-FLOSS only has the normal position. All rheostat settings are at line voltage or below.

Operating Procedure

1.      Plug in Cotton Candy Machine.

2.      Without motor running, fill floss head about 90% full with sugar. DO NOT OVERFILL! Whenever you add sugar to the floss head, always fill it about 90% full. This is necessary to obtain a balanced condition in the floss head or excessive vibration will occur.  NEVER ADD SUGAR WHEN MOTOR IS RUNNIG. After adding FLOSSUGAR you may turn the motor back “ON”.

3.      Turn MAIN SWITCH and HEAT SWITCH to “ON” position to make cotton candy floss.

4.      Turn heat control knob in the clockwise position to maximum setting. This setting will produce the fastest possible warm up.

5.      The machine should begin to make floss in a few seconds. When the unit gets up to heat, it will probably start to smoke. Just turn the heat control knob in the counter clockwise direction to eliminate the smoking.

6.      Once you find the ideal setting for the HEAT CONTROL, you should be able to operate near this position each time.

Cleaning

·         When stopping operation for the day or any prolonged period, it is good to run all the sugar out of the floss head. When empty, turn the heat to the highest position for approximately one minute to somewhat “clean” the band. NEVER ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE FLOSS HEAD.
