6. Operating Instructions

Making delicious cotton candy is a simple process with your Ajgvq machine.

1. Turn On: Flip the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The voltmeter will illuminate.
2. Preheat: Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the 'Max' setting. Allow the machine to preheat for 3-4 minutes. This ensures the spinning head reaches the optimal temperature for melting sugar.
3. Add Sugar: Once preheated, use the provided sugar scoop to add one scoop of sugar directly into the center spinning head. Do not overfill. You can use regular granulated sugar, floss sugar, or crushed hard candies.
4. Collect Cotton Candy: Within approximately 10 seconds, fine sugar strands will begin to emerge from the spinning head. Take a cotton candy stick (not included) and hold it horizontally above the spinning head. Rotate the stick to collect the cotton candy floss as it forms.
5. Adjust Temperature (Optional): You can adjust the temperature knob to control the speed of cotton candy production. Higher temperatures generally produce cotton candy faster.
6. Repeat: To make more cotton candy, simply add another scoop of sugar to the spinning head and repeat step 4.

Tips for Best Results:

• Ensure the sugar is dry. Moisture can affect the quality of the cotton candy.
• For flavored cotton candy, use floss sugar specifically designed for cotton candy machines.
• Keep the area around the machine clear to prevent sugar strands from sticking to unwanted surfaces.

7. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your cotton candy machine.

1. Initial Rinse (Optional): While the machine is still warm (but after turning off the heat and before unplugging), you can pour a small amount of water into the spinning head inlet. Let the machine run for 3-5 minutes. The water will help dissolve residual sugar.
2. Power Off and Unplug: Turn the ON/OFF switch to 'OFF' and unplug the power cord from the outlet.
3. Cool Down: Allow the machine to cool completely before proceeding with cleaning.
4. Remove Bowl: Unclip the locking clips and carefully remove the stainless steel bowl.
5. Clean Bowl: Wash the stainless steel bowl with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
6. Clean Spinning Head: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the spinning head and the interior of the main unit. For stubborn sugar residue, a small amount of warm water can be used. Ensure no water enters the motor housing.
7. External Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth.
8. Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the machine.

Important Notes:

• You can remove the center bowl cover (if applicable) and clean it with a small wrench (package includes small wrench).
• Never immerse the main unit (motor housing) in water or any other liquid.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the surfaces.
