MY COTTON CANDY MAKER STAYS ON A FEW SECONDS THEN TURNS OFF?

Here is how to operate a professional cotton candy machine.
First of all make sure you are renting the machine from a reputable company and that it arrives with a trained professional who knows how to operate it properly.
Also make sure that the machine is on a steady base and that no children or animals can get too close.

It is best to use a plug just for the machine instead of sharing it with other appliances.

To begin, turn on the machine's main power switch and fill the floss head with sugar.
It is very important not to fill the head above 90%.

Turn the machine's motor and then the heat switch on, putting the head dial setting on HIGH.
The sugar will start forming in about 45-60 seconds.

When the cotton candy starts pouring out you should have your cone ready. Dip it in the machine and pick the cotton candy by giving the cone a twirl that will gather the sugar around the cone.
Avoid rolling the cone around in circles as it is not the correct method to gather cotton candy.

When you are done, first of all turn off the HEAT and allow the motor to continue running at least 45 seconds, in order to get rid of the leftover sugar, and cool down the heating element.
Than disconnect the stabilizer screen and clips, rinsing them in warm water to dissolve the sugar.
You can now remove the floss pan from the main unit and rinse it off.

Children must not play with the cotton candy machine. It certainly is fun but it is not a toy.
