Page 5: Overview
1 Overview Artist machine (hereinafter “machine” or “equipment”) is intended to produce cotton candy using pure sugar or sugar mixed with colorant. Due to its special features, the machine allows operator to make serv- ings of cotton candy shaped as a flower or other shapes (an animal, a bird, a cartoon character and so on). -

7. Place the floss pan on the machine making sure the indentations rest on the floss pan supports. 1.4 Electrical requirements DANGER • Power outlet MUST have proper grounding to avoid electric shock. • If supply cord damaged, it MUST be replaced by manufacturer, service agent, or qualified persons in order to avoid hazard. -

2 Design and operating principle Figure 1: Main components of the machine The main parts of the machine represented on the Fig.1: 1 – Hous- ing; 2 – Transportation handle; 3 – Spring mounted support; 4 – Transport fastening nut; 5 – Floss pan support; 6 – Spinning head with heater;... - Page 8 An impeller attached to the Rotor (8) rotates along with the spin- ning head, producing a powerful upward airflow. The Stator (9) pre- vents operators and objects from coming into contact with the rapidly rotating impeller, and also rectifies the airflow. The airflow lifts the cotton candy upwards.

Page 9: Intended Use
3 Intended use CAUTION • DO NOT TURN ON until transport fastening nuts are FULLY RAISED. Otherwise it may cause excessive vi- bration during whole machine operation, and lead to machine failure. • Vibration of the spring mounted chassis during spin- ning head acceleration and deceleration IS NOR- MAL. - Page 10 9. Cotton candy will fly out upwards in a vertical column or “sleeve.” This “sleeve” can be wrapped or wound around a stick by rapidly turning or spinning the stick with your fingers in a clockwise direction (see below). You will usually want to collect floss be- tween 8”...

If you are shutting down for longer than one day, then you should perform a complete cleaning of the spinning head as described in the Technical Maintenance section below. Do not leave unused flossugar in the spinning head for more than a day or two as it can harden/caramelize and e ect the balance of the head during future sessions, which could ultimately result in failure of the machine. -

Figure 4: "Rope” cotton candy ingly to the position of the adjustment knob. This provides stable and smooth motor operation and minimizes inrush current impact. 3.4 Standby mode If there are no customers at the moment, it is convenient to keep the spinning head warmed up to be able to resume operation very quick. -
Page 13: Snow" Cap
3.5 “No-snow” cap In the production of cotton candy, “snow” includes flakes, flecks, small filaments and sugar dust that are all too small to be collected in the normal winding process of producing a cotton candy serving. There are four situations when “snow” will be emitted from the spin- ning head: 1. -
Page 14: Important Tips
However, you should not leave the “No-Snow” cap in place for long periods of time as it will eventually become filled with floss and this will then collect on the spinning head itself. To help prevent this, the inside of the “No-snow” cap should be wiped o in between each use to prevent accumulation of spent flos- sugar. -

3. Inspect the slip rings (pos.2 Fig.10) for bumps and color changes. The rings should fit closely to insulators and should not show excessive wear. 4. Slip rings are made of high-grade brass and will last years if properly serviced. If the slip rings are excessively worn or are covered with bumps, they need to be replaced by qualified ser- vice sta . -
