3.1. General instructions 

  

ATTENTION! THIS PART OF OPERATION MANUAL IS INTENDED ONLY FOR TRAINED PERSONNEL 
EXPERIENCED WITH ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. 

The purpose of technical maintenance is extend the working life of the machine 
while fulfilling all safety requirements. 

The following schedule

3

 is recommended:

 

 

PROCEDURE 

PERIOD 

Cleaning machine and pan surfaces removing sugar and cotton candy 

Once a day 

Sidewall and heater cleaning 

Twice a month 

Brush unit maintenance 

Every 6 months 

3.2. Safety measures 

 

DO NOT CLEAN THE SPINNING HEAD OR COMPONENTS WITH SHARP OR METAL PARTS. HOT 
WATER, A SPONGE OR SOFT BRISTLE BRUSH IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED! 

  

DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING OR PERFORMING TECHNICAL 

MAINTENANCE! 

3.3. Cleaning instructions 

Spinning head cleaning 

During long-term operation, the heating element and sidewall slits can become 
clogged  with  sugar  and  carbon  deposits.  This  may  significantly  reduce  both 
productivity and the quality of the cotton candy produced. 

To  clean  the  sidewall  and  heating  element  it  is  necessary  to  disassemble  the 
spinning  head,  remove  the  heating  element  and  sidewall  and  wash  them 
carefully with hot water.
