🧠 Tips on How to Use It Correctly
Preheat for 5 minutes before adding sugar or candy.
Use finely granulated sugar, flavoured floss sugar, or mini marshmallow bits.
Pour sugar into the centre of the bowl only.
Use moderate amounts—overfilling will slow the spinning.
Rotate your candy stick slowly and evenly to collect floss.
Allow the machine to cool completely before cleaning.
Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge—avoid harsh scrubbing.
Use on a stable, heatproof surface with good ventilation.
Always supervise children during use.
Store dry and cool for maximum product longevity.
