ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Operating Safety Precautions
- Ensure the Extractor Head is securely in place before use. Failure to do so may result in injury.
- Check inside of the Heating Element, located beneath the Extractor Head, for foreign objects before switching to ON position.
- CAUTION: The Extractor Head rotates at high speeds. Always keep jewelry, long hair, hands and face a safe distance away from the machine while in use to avoid possible injury.
- NEVER put fingers on or near the Extractor Head or Heating Element while machine is on or while it is still hot.
- NEVER pour sugar directly into the Heating Element. Sugar is FLAMMABLE and may result in smoke or fire.
- NEVER overfill or use more than the directed amount of sugar in the Extractor Head. Overfilling may cause the sugar to fly from the Extractor Head.

- If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
- Extension cords can be used if care is exercised in their use.
- The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- When using a longer cord or extension cord, make sure that the cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tripped over unintentionally.
- The manufacturer does not recommend using this machine in countries that do not support 120V AC even if a voltage adapter, transformer, or converter is in use.

PARTS & ASSEMBLY
Take the HARD CANDY COTTON CANDY MAKER out of the box and wipe down the unit exterior and bowl with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge before using. To attach the Bowl, carefully push the bowl down and turn counterclockwise until it locks into place. Then attach Rim to Bowl by snapping in place. Now you are ready to enjoy tasty, fluffy cotton candy from your HARD CANDY COTTON CANDY MAKER.
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.
-
Check to make sure the unit is in the OFF position, then plug into an electrical outlet.
-
Next, make sure the Extractor Head is in place and fully secured.
-
Turn unit to ON position and Extractor Head will begin to spin. Allow unit to heat for at least 10 minutes before adding flossing sugar or hard candy.
-
After allowing the unit to heat for 10 minutes, turn the unit OFF.
-
Place no more than two pieces of hard candy, sugar-free hard candy or one scoop of flavored sugar (1 tbsp.) into the Extractor Head. If using hard candies, make sure they are evenly placed on either side of the Extractor Head (see image below).
-
Switch the unit to the ON position.
-
When you see the cotton candy web begin, hold the cone horizontally over the Extractor Head to begin collecting the cotton candy. Rotate the cone with your fingers while you move the cone side to side above the bowl, making sure to collect all the cotton candy (see image below).
CAUTION: Make sure cotton candy webbing does not fall into the Heating Element as sugar is flammable. Turn the unit off and allow to cool before removing fallen sugars from the Heating Element.
CAUTION: The Extractor Head rotates at high speeds. Always keep jewelry, long hair, hands and face a safe distance away from the machine while in use to avoid possible injury. -
Repeat the above steps to make more cotton candy. Make sure the Extractor Head is empty before adding another measure of hard candy or flossing sugar into the Extractor Head. By following these instructions, using your HARD CANDY COTTON CANDY MAKER will be a fun and tasty experience!
HELPFUL TIPS
TEXTURE
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.
CLOGGING
If your unit is producing very little cotton candy, your Extractor Head may be
clogged with sugar. In this case, turn the unit off and wait for the Extractor
Head to stop spinning. Then use a wooden spoon to tap the Extractor Head to
help loosen the sugar. Also, ensure you are using the best sugar for this
unit. Some commercial flossing sugars are not made for this unit. For best
results, use Nostalgia brand cotton candy flossing sugar and kits.
The following hard candies (sugar & sugar-free) work best:
- Fruit Flavors
- Crème
- Root Beer
- Peppermint
- Cinnamon
- Coffee
- Other Assorted Bulk Bag Hard Candy Flavors
The following candies DO NOT work:
- Caramel
- Butterscotch
- Ball-shaped candies
- Candies with hard sugar shells
- Gummy or chewy candies

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Your HARD CANDY COTTON CANDY MAKER disassembles for easy cleaning.
-
Make sure the unit is unplugged and has had time to cool down before cleaning.
-
