IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions

and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed including:

• Read all instructions.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

• To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do not immerse

cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.

• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

• Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance

malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. For service information see

warranty page.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may

cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

• Do not use this appliance outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• Always plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then

remove plug from wall outlet.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance while hot.

• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use.

While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one,

ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or

greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the

extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping

or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the

edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or

tripped over.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it

still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug

in any way.

3

• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or

extension cord feels hot.

• Avoid contact with moving parts.

• Keep hands and utensils out of collection bowl while making cotton candy.

• Use only cotton candy cones for collecting cotton candy.

• For household use only.

Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Many

accessory parts are contained within the packaging material.

Wash bowl assembly (collection bowl, flossing rim, and connecting ring), measuring

scoop, and extractor head in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Ensure

that the extractor head is completely dry before adding sugar. Do not place the

heating base in water or any other liquid.

1. Assemble the collection bowl and flossing rim by aligning the holes in the

flossing rim to the pegs on the collection bowl. Place the connecting ring over

the flossing rim and press down until it clicks in place. Place the assembly on

the base and gently push down to “snap” in place.

2. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. Press

down on the base of the cotton candy maker to secure the suction feet. Place

extractor head onto the spinner shaft. Make sure that the pegs on the spinner

shaft are fully engaged in the slots of the extractor head.

3. With the “ON/OFF” switch set in the "OFF" ( O ) position, plug the cord into a

120 volt, AC electric outlet only.

4. Set the “ON/OFF” switch to “ON” ( l ) and let run for a minimum of 5 minutes

to preheat. The extractor head will be spinning.

5. When preheated, set the “ON/OFF” switch to “OFF” ( O ) and wait until the

extractor head comes to a complete stop. Add one level tablespoon of sugar to

the center well of the extractor head. To level sugar in the extractor head, gently

tap the flossing rim a couple. Do not use a heaping tablespoon, over fill

chamber, or get sugar on the top of the extractor head. Note: Be sure that you

have the bowl assembly assembled to the heating base before heating or

attempting to extract sugar.

6. Set the “ON/OFF” switch to “ON” ( l ). Some sugar may be ejected from the

extractor as it spins.

7. When you begin to see a web of cotton

candy forming around the flossing rim,

begin collecting the cotton candy with a

cotton candy cone. This is best achieved

by:

A. Hold the cone vertically and rotate

the cone while circling the bowl.

B. Once some cotton candy is collected,

hold the cone horizontally then rotate

the cone while going back and forth

over the rim. Be careful not to touch

the spinning extractor head with cone

or collected candy.

8. When all sugar has been dispensed, set

the “ON/OFF” switch to “OFF” ( O ) and

let the extractor head come to a complete stop. If more candy is desired, repeat

steps 4 - 7. Candy will be extracted more quickly during this cycle. If no more

candy is desired, unplug and let appliance cool completely before cleaning.

• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to

the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating

and cooling – this is normal.

• Regular granulated sugar can be used as well as flossing sugars made

specifically for cotton candy. Flossing sugar will produce the best results.

• Artificial sweeteners or sugar-free candies cannot be used for making cotton

candy. Artificial sweeteners burn in the extractor head and do not floss.

• Hard candies can be used to create cotton candy. Crush candies finely and use

in place of sugar in the extractor head. Do not use more than 1 tbsp. crushed

candy to make cotton candy.

• Flavor extracts (like those used to make candies) can be used to produce

flavored floss. Add no more than  tsp. flavor extract to the sugar in the

extractor head chamber. Then, follow steps to make cotton candy.

• Pre-sweetened drink mixes may be mixed with sugar to create flavored floss.

Avoid drink mixes sweetened with artificial sweeteners. These will burn and clog

the extractor head. Use ½ tsp. drink mix with 2 ½ tsp. sugar to make cotton

candy.

5

• Never use extra fine granulated or “free flowing” sugars in your cotton candy

maker. These sugars will clog the extractor head.

• When collecting cotton candy, rest the cone against the flossing rim while you

turn it. This will help collect candy without touching the extractor head.

• The Cotton Candy maker must be preheated for a minimum of five minutes

before use. If it is not preheated, the sugar will not melt and your extractor head

will clog.

• Clean the cotton candy maker after 2 or 3 cycles to keep the extractor head

from clogging and to ensure optimal results. If extractor head is not cleaned

every couple cycles, it will stop producing floss and results will be poor.

• Between cycles, use a cone or wooden spoon to push any unspun sugar down

into the collection bowl. This will prevent the cotton candy getting stuck along

the rim before it can be collected.

1. When done making cotton candy, or to clean between batches, unplug the

cotton candy maker and let it cool for 15 minutes.

2. Remove extractor head and soak in hot, soapy water. Rinse and spin by

hand to remove as much water as possible, towel dry exterior. If necessary,

use a dish cloth to remove any sugar stuck on the extractor head. Do not

use any abrasive scrubbers, as damage to the finish may occur.

3. With dry hands, plug appliance into wall outlet, place extractor head back

on heating base, set the “ON/OFF” switch to “ON” ( l ), and let spin for 15-

20 seconds. Set the “ON/OFF” switch to “OFF” ( O ), unplug, and remove

extractor head again, towel dry exterior and set aside. This removes most

excess water from inside the extractor head.

4. Remove the bowl assembly from the heating base. Wash in warm, soapy

water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Reassemble appliance. Bowl assembly

parts can be washed in a dishwasher, top rack only. Do not place the

extractor head in the dishwasher. Do not place the heating base in water or

any other liquid.
