OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The easiest way to make sure you have the right texture sugar with proper flavor and colors is to use GOLD
MEDAL FLOSSUGAR. FLOSSUGAR gives good, rich colors and flavors, and does not exceed the color
limitations imposed by the Food and Drug Administration. FLOSSUGAR comes in sealed, plastic-coated
cartons with handy pouring spouts for filling. If you use your own flavors
in cotton candy, make sure they are
not gum or starch based; these items burn on the ribbons.

Heat Control Setting Test
1. Follow the guidelines described on page 1 for supplying power to machine.
2. With main switch still 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 turn the head to balance out the sugar. This will
eliminate excessive vibration of the head.
Important: NEVER add sugar when motor is running.
3. Turn MAIN SWITCH and HEAT SWITCH "ON."
4. Turn heat control knob clockwise to maximum setting to initiate the fastest possible warm up.
5. The machine should start making floss in a few seconds. When the unit starts making floss, you must
reduce the heat setting. Turn the heat control knob counter clockwise to eliminate smoking. If you
operate the unit at "start up" setting, you will "carbonize" the ribbon.

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 fails to stick to the cone, pass the cone 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 "heavy".
