5. Operating Instructions
Operating your VIVO cotton candy machine is straightforward:
- Pre-heating: Turn on the 'Power' switch and then the 'Heat' switch. Allow the machine to pre-heat for approximately 5-10 minutes until the heating head is hot and spinning smoothly.
- Add Sugar: Using the provided sugar scoop, carefully pour one scoop of floss sugar or crushed hard candy into the center of the spinning heating head. Do not overfill.
- Collect Cotton Candy: As the sugar melts and spins into fine threads, use a paper cone or stick to collect the floss. Hold the cone horizontally above the heating head, rotating it to gather the cotton candy.
- Repeat: Add more sugar as needed to continue making cotton candy.
- Power Off: When finished, turn off the 'Heat' switch first, then the 'Power' switch. Allow the machine to cool down completely before cleaning.
