3. Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Place the machine on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Assemble Bowl: Place the stainless steel bowl onto the motor housing. Secure it firmly using the 4 clamps provided.
- Power Connection: Ensure the power switch is in the "OFF" position. Connect the machine to a grounded 230V power outlet.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the stainless steel bowl and sugar head thoroughly according to the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section.
4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation:
- Pre-heat: Turn on the power switch (usually marked with a power symbol). Then, turn on the heating element switch (often marked with 'SSS' or a heat symbol). Allow the machine to pre-heat for 5-10 minutes until the sugar head is hot. The voltmeter will indicate the current voltage.
- Add Sugar: Once pre-heated, carefully pour the desired amount of cotton candy sugar into the center sugar head. Do not overfill.
- Collect Cotton Candy: As the sugar melts and spins, cotton candy will begin to form around the edges of the bowl. Use a cotton candy stick to collect it by rotating the stick around the inside of the bowl.
- Repeat or Turn Off: To make more cotton candy, repeat step 2. When finished, turn off the heating element switch first, then the main power switch.
