HOW TO OPERATE
1. First, nd 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.
2. Plug in unit at the OFF position.
3. Turn unit to ON position and allow it to run for at least 5 minutes before
adding hard candy. If using sugar, allow appliance to run for at least 10
minutes before adding sugar. This will allow the Extractor Head to heat.
4. Turn unit OFF and place no more than two pieces of hard candy or one scoop of avored
sugar (1 tbsp.) into the Extractor Head. If using candies, make sure they are evenly placed on
either side of the Extractor Head (see image below).
5. Switch to ON position.
6. When you see the cotton candy web begin, collect the cotton candy on the cone by
holding the cone vertically. Rotate the cone with your ngers while you circle the bowl.
7. Once cotton candy has collected on the cone, hold the cone in a horizontal position
over the Extractor Head while still rotating the cone with your ngers. Continue
turning the cone with your ngers while the cone is in the horizontal position
and move from side to side making sure to collect all the cotton candy.
8. Repeat above steps by adding another measure of candy or sugar
into the Extractor Head and starting again. The cotton candy
should ow more quickly as the unit is suciently warm.
9. DO NOT overll the Extractor Head by adding more than two candies or 1 tbsp.
of sugar at a time. This will cause clogging and unit will not work properly.
10. By following these simple instructions, using your HARD & SUGAR-FREE
CANDY COTTON CANDY MAKER will be a fun experience for kids of all
ages and will bring the excitement of a carnival to any occasion.
