INTRODUCTION
This nostalgic looking cotton candy maker resembles the early 1900’s carnival and circus
style cotton candy carts. The OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL COTTON CANDY MAKER ™
is only designed in appearance to look like the nostalgic style cotton candy carts, however,
it is a technologically advanced cotton candy maker.
The whole family will enjoy the OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL COTTON CANDY MAKER
™. Please take care of your machine by following these instructions and precautions.
You can use a variety of flavored sugars with your OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL COTTON
CANDY MAKER ™
Bubble Gum
Boo Blue
Spooky Fruiti
Silly Nilly
And more….
HERE’S A TIP – You can use regular household granulated sugar in your OLD
FASHIONED COTTON CANDY MAKER™. To add a little flavor and color, mix a pinch of
your favorite pre-sweetened Kool-Aid® to the sugar. Imagine the variety of flavors you can
make and the fun you’ll have!

USING YOUR OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL COTTON CANDY
MAKER™
Your OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL COTTON CANDY MAKER ™is already fully
assembled. You should clean first before using.
Follow the cleaning instructions on page 5. Wash in warm water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
After cleaning and thoroughly drying the bowl, return the bowl to the base making sure it is
LOCKED in to position.
Align the metal tabs on the base unit with the plastic tabs on the bowl. The tabs on
the bowl will fit under the metal tabs
As you turn the bowl counterclockwise to LOCK, make sure it is secured and locked
into position. To remove, turn clockwise to UNLOCK. (See page 4, Figure D)
Return the extractor head assembly, making sure that the grooves are properly aligned to
fit over the pegs on the stem. (See page 4, Figure B & C)
Now you are ready to enjoy tasty, fluffy cotton candy from your OLD FASHIONED
CARNIVAL COTTON CANDY MAKER™.
A. First, find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. (Make sure
your cord is away from any water source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an
extension cord.)
B. Plug in unit at the OFF position.
C. Turn unit to ON position and allow to run for at least 5 minutes. This will allow it
to warm up.
D. Measure level tablespoon of sugar with measuring spoon supplied with your OLD
FASHIONED COTTON CANDY MAKER™. Pour sugar into center receptacle
(See page 5, Figure F). Switch to ON position.
E. Your OLD FASHIONED COTTON CANDY MAKER™ will spin the sugar into a
flossy sweet treat that you collect on the paper cone by spinning the cone as it
circles the bowl…just like at the carnival!
F. When you can visually 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 then hold
the cone in a horizontal position over the extractor head 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 you are collecting
all the cotton candy. (See page 5, Figure G).
G. Turn the unit OFF when all the sugar has been dispensed. Once the extractor
head has come to a complete stop, you can pour another measure of sugar in
the extractor head and begin again. The cotton candy should be flowing more
quickly as the unit should be sufficiently warmed up.
IMPORTANT NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS
For optimum results - Be sure to turn unit ON and allow it to run for at least 5 minutes
before starting. This allows the unit to properly warm up before beginning to actually spin
the cotton candy. Only add sugar to the extractor head when it has come to complete stop.
Never use ingredients other than pure granulated sugar. This will cause clogging. DO
NOT overfill the sugar receptacle.
By following these simple instructions, using your OLD FASHIONED CARNIVAL COTTON
CANDY MAKER™ will be fun for kids of all ages…young or old by bringing a carnival
atmosphere to any occasion.
