INTRODUCTION
This retro looking cotton candy maker brings back memories of the classic diners from the
1950’s. The RETRO COTTON CANDY MACHINE is a technologically advanced cotton
candy maker.

of your machine by following these instructions and precautions.
You can use a variety of flavored sugars with your RETRO COTTON CANDY MACHINE
Bubble Gum
Boo Blue
Spooky Fruiti
Silly Nilly
And more….
HERE’S A TIP – You can use regular household granulated sugar in your RETRO
COTTON CANDY MACHINE. 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!
The RETRO COTTON CANDY MACHINE™ is easy to use, just follow these simple
instructions.

ENGLISH 3
USING YOUR RETRO COTTON CANDY MAKER™
Your RETRO COTTON CANDY MACHINE is already fully assembled. You should
clean it first before using.
Follow the cleaning instructions on page 4. Wash the extractor head in warm water, rinse
and dry thoroughly. After washing 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 C)
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 RETRO COTTON CANDY
MACHINE™.
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 the unit 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
RETRO COTTON CANDY MACHINE™. Pour sugar into center receptacle (See
page 4, Figure D). Switch to ON position.
E. Your RETRO COTTON CANDY MACHINE™ 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 4, Figure E).
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 RETRO COTTON CANDY MACHINE™
will be fun for kids of all ages…young or old by bringing a carnival atmosphere to any
occasion.
