- Turn On and Preheat: Plug the machine into a suitable electrical outlet. Turn on the power switch (located on the side of the main unit). Allow the machine to preheat for 2-3 minutes. The heating element will glow.
- Add Sugar: Turn off the machine. Using the provided sugar scoop, add 2-3 spoons of granulated sugar or crushed hard candy directly into the center heating element. Do not overfill.
- Spin Cotton Candy: Turn the machine back on. The heating element will begin to spin and melt the sugar, creating sugar silk.
- Collect Cotton Candy: As the sugar silk emerges, hold a cotton candy cone or stick horizontally above the spinning head. Rotate the stick slowly to collect the sugar silk, forming a cotton candy cloud. Continue rotating and moving the stick to gather all the cotton candy.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your cotton candy machine.
- Unplug and Cool Down: Always unplug the machine from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. This is crucial to prevent burns.
- Disassemble Parts: Carefully remove the transparent rim guard and the large bowl from the main unit.
- Clean Bowl and Rim Guard: Wash the bowl and rim guard with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling or storing. The stainless steel fittings are dishwasher safe.
- Clean Heating Element: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the heating element and the main unit. Do not immerse the main unit in water. For stubborn sugar residue on the heating head, you may use a slightly damp cloth while the unit is cool, or carefully scrape off hardened sugar with a non-abrasive tool.
