PARTS & ASSEMBLY

After Taking the Unit Out of the Box: Take the RETRO SERIES™ HARD & SUGAR-FREE COTTON CANDY MAKER out of the box and wipe down the unit exterior and bowl with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge before using.

HOW TO OPERATE

First, find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure the cord is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
Plug in the unit at the OFF position.
Turn the unit to the ON position and allow it to run for at least 5 minutes before adding hard candy. If using sugar, allow it to run for 10 minutes before adding sugar. This will allow the Extractor Head to heat.
Turn the unit OFF and place no more than two pieces of hard candy or one scoop of flavored sugar (1 tbsp.) into the Extractor Head. Make sure the candies are evenly placed on either side of the Extractor Head (see image below).
Switch to the ON position.
When you see the cotton candy web begin, collect the cotton candy on the cone by holding the cone vertically. Rotate the cone with your fingers while you circle the bowl.
Once cotton candy has collected on the cone, hold the cone in a horizontal position over the Extractor Head while still rotating the cone with your fingers. Continue turning the cone with your fingers while the cone is in the horizontal position and move from side to side making sure to collect all the cotton candy.
Repeat the above steps by adding another measure of candy into the Extractor Head and starting again. The cotton candy should flow more quickly as the unit is sufficiently warm.
DO NOT overfill the Extractor Head by adding more than two candies at a time. This will cause clogging and the unit will not work properly.
By following these simple instructions, using your RETRO SERIES™ HARD & SUGAR-FREE COTTON CANDY MAKER will be a fun experience for kids of all ages and will bring the excitement of a carnival to any occasion.

HELPFUL TIPS

If your cotton candy is not flossing properly or is coming out with a brittle, “Easter grass” texture, follow these instructions:

Only put in 1-2 hard candies at a time
Make sure the candies are evenly placed on either side of the Extractor Head.
For best results, break candies up before use.
The faster the Extractor Head spins, the better the result.

The following candies (sugar & sugar free) work best:

Fruit Flavors
Cream
Caramel
Root Beer
Butterscotch
Peppermint
Cinnamon
Coffee
Other Assorted Bulk Bag Hard Candy Flavors

The following candies DO NOT work:

Ball-shaped candies
Candies with hard sugar shells
Gummy or chewy candies
Sugar-pressed candies
Instant drink mix packets

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Make sure the unit is unplugged and has had time to cool down before cleaning.
After cooling, remove the Extractor Head by firmly gripping both sides and pulling straight up. UNLOCK bowl by turning clockwise and lifting. Wash both in warm water, rinse and dry.
Use a clean, slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge or non-abrasive cloth to wipe down the outside of the unit, then wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.
The RETRO SERIES™ HARD & SUGAR-FREE COTTON CANDY MAKER breaks down for easy cleaning.
