Sugar for Your Candy
Ready to Use Flossugar
Our ready to use Flossugar is the preferred sugar for your new cotton candy machine; however
100% pure cane or beet sugar will do just fine. Our Flossugar gives you good rich colors, and
great flavors, too. It is packed in handy half-gallon sealed cartons, with an E-Z pour spout for
filling your machine. Flossugar comes in many flavors, and you can easily change flavors for
greatest variety, and best sales.
Mix Your Own
If you want to mix your own, use our Flossine®, and please follow our directions. If you want a
deeper color, slightly dampen the mixed sugar. Use a tablespoon of water per five pounds of
sugar, sprinkle water over sugar, and mix well. DO NOT USE EXCESS COLOR! Too much color
will ruin the element on your machine and could create a bitter taste to the candy. There is a
limit as to how dark you can make cotton candy. That’s because cotton candy is 98% air, and we
cannot color the air.
Sugar Considerations
Today 99% of the sugar manufactured is extra fine granulated, which does have some small
particles which can slip thru the ribbons without being melted. If this becomes objectionable, you
can seek out medium coarse or sanding sugars. The larger crystal size will require a little more
heat to melt.
Read the label on the bag of sugar, today we see some free flowing sugars for restaurants. Free
flowing sugars contain cornstarch which will burn onto your element/band clogging them
rapidly. We have also seen some off-brand sugars that are a blend of sugar and dextrose or corn
syrup. This product makes very poor cotton candy. Please make sure you get good sugar for
your cotton candy machine.

MACHINE OPERATION
Settings Test
CAUTION
Floss head operates at high speeds. Operator MUST keep
hands and face clear of the floss head to avoid possible
injury. Keep all spectators at a reasonable distance, and
use a Floss Bubble for added customer protection.
1. Follow the guidelines described in the Electrical Requirements Section 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 the ain Switch and Heat Switch “ON”.
4. Turn the 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 "startup" setting, you will carbonize
the ribbon.
CAUTION
Never operate the equipment for a prolonged period of
time with the HEAT CONTROL in a position that causes
the sugar to smoke. This will result in excessive
carbonization of the ribbon (heat element). If you smell
burning sugar or see smoke, reduce the heat.
6. Once you find the ideal setting for the HEAT CONTROL, operate with the setting near
this position each time.
When completing operation for the day (or any prolonged period), follow the instructions
in the Shutdown Procedure/Cleaning and Care section of this manual.

Making Floss
Pick a cone, if it sticks in the stack of cones, twist it off the stack.
CAUTION
Keep hands away from spinning head!
031_021914
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. See steps 1 thru 8 shown below.
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. ake sure room
humidity is not too high, or product will be "heavy".
1. Grip cone as shown. 2. Break into web of
floss with the cone.
3. Wind the sugar onto
the cone.
4. Lift web of floss from
the pan and roll onto
the cone.
5. 6. 7. 8.
