How to Use
- Step 1—Make sure both the Heat switch and the Motor & Master switch are off. Also ensure that the spinner head is fully stopped before proceeding.
- Step 2—Pour the flossugar into the spinner head. Make sure to fill it 90% full with sugar. Do not overfill as it can make the floss head unbalanced.
- Step 3—Turn on the Motor & Master switch. Wait 10 seconds, then turn on the Heat switch.
- Step 4—Turn the Heat Control knob to the maximum setting for faster warm-up.
- Step 5—Wait about 30 seconds until floss begins to form, then turn down the heat setting. Turning down the heat will prevent the flossugar from smoking.
- NOTE—If the unit is operating at the “startup” setting, it will carbonize the element.
- Step 6—Once you reach the ideal Heat Control setting, use this setting each time you use the unit.
- Step 7—If you need to refill the floss head with sugar, or shut down the unit, turn off the Heat switch and let the motor run for at least one minute so that the floss head can cool down. After this, turn off the Motor & Master switch.
Shutdown
- Step 1—At the end of the operating day, run the floss head completely empty of sugar.
- Step 2—Turn up the Heat Control dial to the maximum setting and let the unit between 3-4 minutes. Doing this will burn any excess sugar out of the floss head, and prevent any excess carbon build-up.
- Step 3—Turn off the Heat switch and let the motor run for at least one minute so that the floss head can cool down
- Step 4—Turn off the Motor & Master switch and let the motor stop completely.
- NOTE—Do not put water into the floss head.
