Clean Spinner Head & Bowl
Using warm, soapy water, clean the the Spinner Head on the Candy Machine
(A) and the Bowl (B) and rinse thoroughly. Use a soft towel or cloth
to dry the entire Bowl. When the machine is first turned on in a future step,
the water will clear out from the Spinner Head with the spinning motion.
If needed, the Top Plate on the Spinner Header can be removed for a more thorough cleaning. Please see page 11.
WARNING | DO NOT USE DETERGENT
CLEANERS
NEVER use detergent like cleaners to wash ANY components of the Cotton Candy
Machine. Doing so will cause harm to the internal parts and prevent proper
use.
Getting Started
Assembling Candy Machine
Place Bowl (B) onto the Candy Machine (A) and secure all four Safety Latches to the hooks onto the underside of the bowl.
Plug Power Cable (D) into Candy Machine (A).
WARNING: PINCH POINT
DO NOT PLACE HANDS UNDER BOWL WHEN PLACING ON MACHINE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Secure ALL Safety Latches
NOTE: Candy Machine WILL NOT power if the Safety Latches are not secured properly
The Candy Machine has a built-in Safety Switch, which prevents the machine from powering on if the Bowl is not properly secured by the Safety Latches.
Ensure Bowl is in place and secure all Safety Latches. When plugged in, the
front power switches will illuminate red.
Powering On for the First Time
Power On
Turn on the Power Switch. Let the machine run for 1-2 minutes to allow the
motor and drive belt to warm up for best performance. DO NOT turn heat on
until the motor has time to warm up.
Heating Up
After the motor has warmed up, turn on the heating switch and allow the head
to warm up for 4-5 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE:
The machine may vibrate while running; this is normal and will not affect
operation.
Creating First Candy Floss
Pour One Scoop of Sugar
After heating, pour one scoop full of sugar into the center of the heating
head.
If using hard candy, turn off machine and place hard candy pieces evenly
in the center of the heating head. Break up into smaller pieces to fit if
necessary. Turn machine back on.
Recommended Candy Types:
For a detailed list of candy types to use and avoid, please see page 10.
Collect Candy Floss
The candy floss will form after roughly 30 seconds.
Use a paper cone, candy stick, or other related object to collect the candy
floss. Revolve the object in a circular motion following the bowl.
Turn the object sideways directly over the heating head and continue twisting
the object in order to collect the floss into a ball shape.
To continue making candy floss, repeat steps.
POWER OFF AFTER 1HR:
Unit should be powered off for at least 20mins after one hour of continuous
use. This will help to prevent overheating and prolong service life.
Clean After 20mins of Continuous Use
To prolong the use of the machine, the machine should ALWAYS be cleaned for
proper function.
Failure to do so may cause burning of floss and will also void the spinner
head warranty.
Add Water to Spinner Head
With the machine still hot and running, slowly pour a small amount of water in
to the center of the Spinner Head.
USE WITH CAUTION:
Water will immediately become steam.
Allow Head to Spin
Keep water spinning through until colour inside is cleaned to the bare
aluminium again.
Power Off Machine
Power off the machine by flipping both switches and allow the motor to cool.
After 10mins, wipe down head with a damp cloth to clean off excess sugar.
Once cool and cleaned off, proceed with your next round of cotton candy making.
**For further cleaning instructions, please see page 11.

Cleaning & Caring for Unit
Cleaning & Removing Spinner Head Top Plate
-
Remove Top Plate:
Separate the Top Plate from the Spinner Head by removing the four screws on the top. Gently pull Top Plate off.
If screws are difficult to remove, turn on the machine and heater for 15-20 seconds to free up the screws. -
Clean Head & Reinstall
Clean the Top Plate with dish soap and warm water. Dry completely and reinstall, making sure not to overtighten screws. There should be a thin gap between the Top Plate and the Spinner Head Base, allowing only a piece of paper to pass through.
Cleaning & Caring for Unit -
Return to Candy Making
Allow machine to heat back up for 4-5 minutes before making more candy floss. This will help the machine run well and require only minimal cleaning after each use.
WARNING
DO NOT USE DETERGENT CLEANERS
NEVER use detergent like cleaners to wash ANY components of the Cotton Candy
Machine. Doing so will cause harm to the internal parts and prevent proper
use.
