THEORY AND OBSERVATIONS OF COTTON CANDY OPERATION
Caution.
The operation of a Cotton Candy Machine requires high temperatures (300
o
F) and
moving parts that may cause injury.
A cotton Candy machine heats sugar in the Spinner Head until it is liquid, about 300
o
F (150
o
C).
The Spinner head rotates at approximately 3600 RPM. Centrifugal force causes fine strands of
liquid sugar to be thrown out of the head. These strands of sugar are cooled in the air and become
solid.
The moisture in the air around it affects sugar. For this reason the amount of heat used in the
process must be adjusted depending on the humidity and temperature of the air in which the
machine is being operated.
The temperature at which sugar melts is very close to the temperature at which sugar burns. For
this reason the presence of smoke when the machine is running is an indication that the heat is set
too high. Extended operation in this condition will plug the fine holes in the spinner head screen
The Ringmaster is the finest, quietest Cotton Candy Machine on the market. The very best
materials and parts including the latest components in heat control have been used in its
construction.
All machines are tested, and are mechanically and electrically sound when they leave the factory.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Location
Choose a location for your Cretors machine to maximize the ease of operation and
maintenance procedures. Check your local building and fire codes for location restrictions.
2.
Unpacking
After the Ringmaster is unpacked, place it on a sturdy table or counter at a height to suit the
operator. Clean the floss bowl thoroughly with soap and water and then place the bowl on
the rubber bumpers on the machine. (Optional) Install stabilizer mesh with clips. Manually
rotate the spinner head to see that it turns freely. (We suggest that you keep the heavy-duty
corrugated carton in which the Ringmaster was shipped for future transportation of the
machine).
