Cotton Candy Machine Instructions

 

 

1.      Turn on heat switch ONLY.  Turn heat control knob clockwise to maximum setting to initiate the fastest possible warm up.  Allow 1 minute to warm up.

 

2.      With main switch OFF, fill floss head.  Always fill it 90% full with sugar.  This 90% level is necessary to obtain a balanced condition in the floss head.  DO NOT OVERFILL!  Excessive vibration will occur if overfilled.  Before turning the power on, manually spin the head to balance out the sugar.  This will eliminate excessive vibration of the head.

 

3.      Turn MAIN SWITCH on.

 

4.      The machine should start making floss in a few seconds.  When the unit reaches proper heat, it may start to smoke.  Turn the heat control knob counter clockwise to eliminate smoking.  If you smell burning sugar or see smoke at nay time during operation, continue turning the heat control knob until you find the ideal setting.  Operate the machine at this setting for the duration of use.  The heat should not need to be turned up again.

 

Making floss:

 

Pick a cone;  if it sticks in the stack of cones, twist it off the stack.  Hold an inch or two of the pointed end of the cone between two fingers and a thumb.  With a light flicking action, roll cone in the web of floss building up in the pan.  Lift the cone up with the ring of floss attached and rotate the cone to wrap the floss.  DO NOT roll floss while the cone is inside the pan.  This will pack the floss too tightly.  If the floss sticks to the cone, pass the near the spinner head to pick up a “starter” of melted sugar.  Lift the cone out of the pan and wrap the floss with a figure eight movement of the hand.  This leaves giant pockets and makes the final product appear larger.  Make sure room humidity is not too high, or product will be too firm.
