Apartment Basics & Instructions

Here is a little bit of information and a list of FAQ’s to help you during your stay.

A couple of things to note

The water can get hot. Error on the side of caution. Start the water a little cooler and then warm up from there.
There are a few cats in the neighborhood. They are really nice and shouldn’t bother you, but just in case they do, let me know. If on the off chance they try to enter the apartment, please just shoo them away.
The ice machine and water dispenser on the refrigerator right now are not working. To offset the inconvenience you will find freshly filled ice trays in the freezer and a Britta water filter in the refrigerator.

How do I make cotton candy?

SAFETY TIPS

You are using the cotton candy machine at your own risk
Only use it on a flat surface
Don’t let it run for more than 40 minutes at a time
Keep fingers and cones out of the bowl and heating element
To clean the machine. Let it totally cool down first. Take off the clear bowl and wash the clear bowl in warm water. Take a damp paper towel and just wipe it around the machine itself. Don’t touch the heating element.
PLEASE DO NOT USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE COTTON CANDY FLOSSING SUGAR PROVIDED IN THE MACHINE.

Instructions

Turn on
Let warm-up for 10 – 15 minutes
Pick your flavor & fill up one full scoop (don’t use more than one scoop, it will overfill the machine)
Have your cotton candy cone nearby
Turn off the machine
Super quickly, pour the scoop of sugar into the very middle of the heating element (don’t pour it outside or on the coils – it will ruin the machine)
Turn the machine back on
Sugar will start flossing pretty quickly. Take your cone and hold it horizontally about 1/2 inch above the machine.
Slowly start spinning the cone. Sugar will start flossing and will cling to the cone. (Keep the cone outside of the bowl, it could catch)
Spin the cone until all of the sugar is melted and out of the heating element. One scoop will make one full cotton candy.
Turn off the machine and repeat steps for another flavor or another cone. (Once the machine is warmed up you can run it for about 20 additional minutes and can eliminate the “heating up” step at the beginning)
Turn the machine off when done and let it cool before returning to the shelf.
