Usage guidelines

A candyfloss machine is used to make candyfloss, a popular sweet snack often found at festivals, funfairs and
other events. The process involves heating the sugar to a high temperature until it begins to caramelise, then
stretching it into thin strands that quickly harden to form fluffy candyfloss.
The candyfloss machine allows for different flavour variations by adding colourings and flavourings to the
sugar. The most popular flavours are: strawberry, vanilla, raspberry, lemon, orange, mint, bubble gum.
The user is liable for any damage resulting from unintended use of the device.

Preparing for use

APPLIANCE LOCATION
The temperature of environment must not be higher than 40°C and the relative humidity should be less than 85%. Ensure good ventilation in the room in which the device is being used. There should be at least 10 cm distance between each side of the device and the wall or other objects. The device should always be used when positioned on an even, stable, clean, fireproof and dry surface, and be out of the reach of children and persons with limited mental and sensory functions. Position the device such that you always have access to the power plug. The power cord connected to the appliance must be properly grounded and correspond to the technical details on the product label.
Disassemble the device and all its components and clean them before the first use.

Device use

ATTENTION! Applies to all models: A burning smell may be detected during first use. This is normal and should disappear after a short time. Ensure that the room is well ventilated.

Models:

1. When moving the device, press the handle downward and make sure that feet of the device are above the floor (for models with trolley)
2. Push the On-button and keep the machine running for 1-2 minutes. Now check if the device is ready for operation (the standing position of the machine needs to be adjusted in the event of extreme vibration).
3. Push the “Heat” button (“switch for heater”). Wait at least 10-15 minutes to let the cotton candy turner warm up. If sugar is poured into the head before this time is over, there will be a risk of burning the sugar.
4. Work can be started after the cotton candy turner is properly warmed up – add a measuring spoon of granulated sugar into the centre of the cotton candy turner.
5. After approximately 60 seconds you will have delicious cotton candy. Take the bamboo stick, move it along the inner surface of the bowl and turn the stick around while doing so. As a resul you will get the typical cotton candy shape. (The bamboo stick may be cleaned with a dry cloth. It is recommended that the stick is not entirely smooth, cotton candy sticks better to a rough bamboo stick).
6. After having produced the amount of cotton candy you need, please do not switch off the device but rather clean the cotton candy turner with water first. Keep pouring water into it while the head of the cotton candy turner continues to rotate. After that you can switch off the machine. The device should be cleaned after each use.

Model: BCZK-420-W

1. Push the On-button and keep the machine running for 1-2 minutes. Now check if the device is ready for operation (the standing position of the machine needs to be adjusted in the event of extreme vibration).
2. Work can be started after the cotton candy turner is properly warmed up – add a measuring spoon of granulated sugar into the centre of the cotton candy turner.
3. Cotton candy starts being produced almost immediately after adding the sugar. Take the bamboo stick, move it along the inner surface of the bowl and turn the stick around while doing so. As a result you will get the typical cotton candy shape. (The bamboo stick may be cleaned with a dry cloth. It is recommended that the stick is not entirely smooth, cotton candy sticks better to a rough bamboo stick).
4. After having produced the amount of cotton candy you need, please do not switch off the device but rather clean the cotton candy turner with water first. Keep pouring water into it while the head of the cotton candy turner continues to rotate. After that you can switch off the machine. The device should be cleaned after each use.

Notes

1. Keep minors away from the machine.
2. The electric cable must not come near the hot surface of the machine. Please ensure that the electric cable and the connector plug do not come into contact with water or any other liquids. DO NOT use the device if the cable or the connector plug is damaged.
3. Please DO NOT touch the surface of the machine while it is in operation. DO NOT move the machine while in operation.
4. Never touch the plug or cable with wet hands.
5. The temporary motor power of the device amounts to 80%. It is best to avoid extremely long usage periods. In order to prolong the life of the machine the engine should rest for 20 minutes after every hour of usage.
6. Before cleaning make sure that the plug is pulled out.
7. If the cotton candy turner doesn’t make any cotton candy, please turn off the device and remove burnt sugar with soft cloth.

 Transportation and storage

Shaking, crashing and turning upside down of the device should be prevented when transporting it. Store it in a properly ventilated location with dry air and without any corrosive gas.

Cleaning and maintenance

a) Unplug the mains plug and allow the device to cool completely before each cleaning, adjustment or replacement of accessories, or if the device is not being used.

• Wait for the rotating elements to stop.

b) Use only non-corrosive cleaners to clean the surface.
c) Use only mild, food-safe detergents to wash the device.
d) After cleaning the device, all parts should be dried completely before using it again.
e) Store the unit in a dry, cool place, free from moisture and direct exposure to sunlight.
f) Do not spray the device with a water jet or submerge it in water.
g) Do not allow water to get inside the device through vents in the housing of the device.
h) Clean the vents with a brush and compressed air.
i) The device must be regularly inspected to check its technical efficiency and spot any damage.
j) Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
k) Do not use sharp and/or metal objects for cleaning (e.g. a wire brush or a metal spatula) because they may damage the surface material of the appliance.
l) Do not clean the device with an acidic substance, agents of medical purposes, thinners, fuel, oils or other chemical substances because it may damage the device.

CLEANING TIPS TO REDUCE BURNT AND VIBRATION ISSUES
A. When finishing the operation, slowly pour a small amount of water onto the spinning head before switching it off to prevent burnt sugar residue.
B. Submerge the spinning head in hot water after each use or if vibration becomes extremely severe to remove built-up sugar.
C. Clean sugar residue from the rest of the surfaces with a hot, damp cloth.

ATTENTION: Clean the device after use, regardless of whether it was operated only once or a number of times. For efficient head cleaning, after use, pour approximately 150 ml of water (approximately 100 ml for model RCZK-420-W) into a hot and spinning head. The evaporating water will clean the interior of the head. Switch the machine off. Once the head has cooled down, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe it clean. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a build-up of caramelised sugar, leading to defective operation of the machine (candy floss will not spin, in extreme situations the head may be permanently damaged).

The user shall be responsible for all damage resulting from a failure to follow these instructions.

ATTENTION: When replacing the drive belt, remember to mount it the right way around – as shown on the photograph below (the belt teeth should be on the outside):
