Important Precautions:

Please keep the cotton candy machine upright at all times.
NEVER Lift the machine by the spinning head. Always use the handles.
USE SAFETY AND CAUTION – The floss bubble should always be used. The floss head rotates at 3450 RPM and can be very dangerous. Operators need to keep hands and face clear of floss head. Spectators must stand a reasonable distance away to be safe.

NEVER add floss sugar when the motor is running. Always turn the machine off before adding sugar.
Always use the floss sugar we provide. Other sugars can damage the heating element.

Before Plugging in the Machine:

Unscrew and push down the two knobs on each side of the cabinet top to lower the shipping bracket. THE MACHINE WILL NOT WORK IF THIS IS NOT DONE.
Make sure the floss ribbon (heating element) located inside the head assembly has not shaken out of the band during transportation. If the ribbon is out of the band, push it back into place manually.
Place the machine on a flat level table. Place the large aluminum bowl on the machine base. The bowl sits on the machine, there are no fasteners.
Attach the stabilizer with the clips provided to the inside of the bowl (this will allow the sugar to catch onto the mesh screen)
Place the protective plastic floss bubble on the bowl.
Make sure both switches on the front of the machine are in the OFF position.
Plug in the machine.

Operating the Machine:

With the main switch OFF, fill the floss head. Always fill it 90% full with floss sugar. This quantity is necessary to obtain a balanced condition in the floss head. DO NOT OVERFILL! Excessive vibration will occur if overfilled. Before turning the power on, manually turn the head to balance out the sugar. This will eliminate excessive vibration of the head.
IMPORTANT: Always turn machine off before adding more sugar.
Turn MAIN SWITCH and HEAT SWITCH “ON.”
Turn heat control knob clockwise to maximum setting to initiate the fastest possible warm up.
The machine should start making floss in a few seconds. When the unit starts making floss, you must reduce the heat setting.
Turn the heat control knob counter clockwise to the marked operating position to eliminate smoking. If you operate the unit at “start up” setting, you will “carbonize” the ribbon (heat element). Never operate equipment for a prolonged period of time with the HEAT CONTROL in a position that causes the sugar to smoke. This will result in excessive carbonization of the ribbon (heat element). If you smell burning sugar or see smoke, reduce the heat.

Making Floss:

Keep hands away from spinning head!
Pick a cone; if it sticks in the stack of cones, twist it off the stack.
Hold an inch or two of the pointed end of the cone between two fingers and a thumb. With a light flicking action, roll cone in the web of floss building up in the pan. Lift the cone up with the ring of floss attached and rotate the cone to wrap the floss. DO NOT roll floss while the cone is inside the pan. This will pack the floss too tightly.
If the floss fails to stick to the cone, pass the cone near the spinner head to pick up a “starter” of melted sugar. Lift the cone out of the pan and wrap the floss with a “figure eight” movement of the hand. This leaves giant pockets and makes the final product appear larger.
Make sure room humidity is not too high, or product will be “heavy.”
In operation, the floss will collect on the mesh stabilizer inside the bowl. If the floss collects “low” on the netting, twist the front (leading) edge of the leather floaters down. You get more lift and the floss will collect higher.


Important Precautions:

The Sno-Cone Machine can take ice cubes or blocks of ice broken into pieces approximately 3" - 4" in size. The ice will not fit in the shaver if the pieces are too large. Ice used to fill coolers works perfectly.
As a safety feature, the motor will only run while the motor button is depressed.

Operating the Machine:

Make sure to put the drain hole tube over a bucket or other area that can accept any draining liquid from the machine. Melted ice and condensation go into the drip tray.
Plug in machine.
Push and hold the motor button.
Wait for the motor to come to full speed.
Fill the chute to within an inch of the top with ice cubes or block ice. The larger the pieces, the better the snow.
Push the pusher handle down against the ice in the chute. Apply firm and even pressure to make the best snow


Important Precautions:

Machine needs to be plugged into a 110-volt dedicated circuit to operate properly.
Always have the kettle motor switch OFF when not popping corn.
The kettle will get very hot! USE CAUTION ALWAYS.

Operating Machine:

Plug in machine.
Push kettle lid up to the top of cabinet where a magnet will hold it in place.
Turn HEAT and LIGHT switch to ON (Wait 3-4 minutes for kettle to heat up).
When ready to add oil, salt and popcorn package, turn KETTLE MOTOR switch ON to start the motor.
Open the oil pouch and pour into the kettle.
Immediately add the popcorn and salt. (DO NOT OVERFILL: only pop one popcorn pack at a time.)
Pull the kettle lid down to cover the kettle. DO NOT FORGET TO COVER THE KETTLE OR THE OIL AND POPCORN WILL IMMEDIATELY SPRAY OUT ALL OVER THE SIDES OF THE MACHINE.
While the corn is popping open the plexiglass doors slightly to prevent fogging.
Popcorn will pop quickly, and when the popping ceases, TURN BOTH THE KETTLE HEAT AND MOTOR SWITCH OFF.
Lift the kettle lid. Dump popped corn by turning the kettle, rotating the black handle pulling downward.
USE CAUTION - THE KETTLE IS VERY HOT!
If you are making several batches continuously you do not have to wait for machine to reheat. It will already be pre-heated.
Remember to turn HEATING LIGHT SWITCH to ON in order to keep your popcorn warm.
