Using your cotton candy machine involves a few simple steps to get started. According to the provided video reference, here’s how you can operate your machine:
To begin making cotton candy, follow these key steps based on the video instructions:
- Prepare the Machine: Start by putting the "double bubble" cover on the machine. This cover helps contain the cotton candy as it forms.
- Add Sugar: Pour your cotton candy sugar into the "spinner head." This is the central part of the machine that heats up and spins.
- Start the Motor: Once the sugar is in place, turn the motor switch on. This will start the spinner head rotating.
- Apply Heat: After the motor is running, turn on the heat switch. The heat will melt the sugar, and the centrifugal force from the spinning head will push the liquid sugar out through tiny holes, where it cools into fine threads.
As the sugar melts and spins, you'll see the cotton candy threads begin to form around the inside wall of the bowl. You can then collect these threads on a cone or stick.
Summary of Steps
Here is a quick overview of the process described in the reference:
| Step | Action |

| 1. Setup | Put the double bubble cover on. |
| 2. Add Sugar | Pour sugar into the spinner head. |
| 3. Start Motor | Turn the motor switch on. |
| 4. Add Heat | Turn the heat switch on. |
Following these steps will get your cotton candy machine up and running, ready to make delicious treats. Always refer to your machine's specific manual for additional safety guidelines and operating details.
