The Sunbeam Flossy Fairy Floss Maker (model FF5300) is a compact and user-friendly appliance designed to create fairy floss (cotton candy) at home. This instruction booklet provides comprehensive details on its safe operation, assembly, usage, and maintenance.

Function Description

The Flossy Fairy Floss Maker operates by heating granulated sugar in a central extractor head, which then spins rapidly to produce fine sugar strands that form fairy floss. The device is designed for domestic use and aims to provide a fun and easy way to make this popular treat.

Important Technical Specifications

While specific electrical specifications like voltage and wattage are not explicitly listed in the provided pages, the manual emphasizes using the appliance with a power outlet of the correct voltage (A.C. only) as marked on the appliance. It also recommends the use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA for additional protection.

The device is designed to use pure granulated white sugar. The recommended quantity is one scoop (provided) or three teaspoons of sugar per cone. Using other types of sugar (including substitutes or caster sugar) or exceeding the recommended quantity can lead to poor results, excessive noise, and vibration.

Usage Features

• Simple Operation: The Flossy features an OFF/FLOSS switch for easy control.
• Quick Warm-up: The unit requires a minimum of 5 minutes to warm up before use.
• Extractor Assembly Head: This central component holds the sugar and spins to create the fairy floss. It is designed to be easily assembled and disassembled for cleaning.
• Fairy Floss Bowl: A lightweight and easy-to-clean bowl collects the fairy floss as it forms. It locks onto the base with interlocking tabs for secure operation.
• Safety Lid: A transparent safety lid is included to keep fingers away from the heating element during operation.
• Non-slip Rubber Feet: These provide extra stability to the unit during use, preventing it from sliding.
• Fairy Floss Scoop: A dedicated scoop is provided to measure the precise amount of sugar (one scoop or three teaspoons) needed for optimal results.
• Paper Cones: The manual includes instructions on how to make paper cones from A4 sheets, which are essential for collecting the fairy floss.

Step-by-step Usage:

1. Warm-up: Set the OFF/FLOSS switch to FLOSS and allow the maker to warm up for at least 5 minutes.
2. Add Sugar: Once warm, switch to OFF. After the extractor head stops spinning completely, add one scoop (or three teaspoons) of granulated white sugar evenly into the center of the extractor head.
3. Start Flossing: Set the switch back to FLOSS. The extractor head will begin to rotate and heat up.
4. Collect Floss: After 1-2 minutes, fine cobwebs of fairy floss will appear around the rim of the bowl.
5. Wind onto Cone: Position a paper cone vertically and wind it clockwise along the inside of the bowl several times. Once the floss grips the cone, turn the cone horizontally and rotate it above the extractor head to fully wind the fairy floss.
6. Repeat: After making a cone, switch the unit OFF and repeat steps 2-5 for more fairy floss.
