Installation Instructions

Checking Shipment

Unpack all cartons and check thoroughly for any damage that may have occurred during transit.
Damage claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company. Gold Medal is not
responsible for damage that occurs in transit.

Setup:

Your new Floss Machine is completely assembled and tested at the factory.
Remove all packing material and tape before starting operation. Remove shipping brackets before
operation.

Electrical Requirements:

The following power supply must be provided:
Model No. 3038ED: 120 VAC, 60 Hz. 30 Amps

.

Your electrician must furnish sufficient current for proper machine operation. We recommend this
floss machine be on a dedicated and circuit protected line. Failure to wire properly will void the
warranty and can result in damage to the heat elements, light, motor and etc.

It is Gold Medal Products Company’s recommendation that this machine be plugged directly into a
wall outlet. The use of extension cords is not recommended due to safety risks and the floss
machine’s performance will be sacrificed/reduced.

Before You Plug In Machine:

1. Make sure that the wall outlet can accept the three (3) prong grounded plug on the power
supply cord.

2. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician inspect
the outlet and correct if necessary.

3. DO NOT use a three (3) prong grounded to two (2) prong un-grounded adapter.

Operating Instructions

Gold Medal FLOSSUGAR is the preferred sugar for your new cotton candy machine. Our
FLOSSUGAR comes in 8 flavors and can change colors for a large variety of combinations to
achieve the best sales. It is packed in handy half-gallon sealed cartons, with an E-Z pour spout for
filling your machine. If you want to “Mix Your Own”— use our FLOSSINE mix and follow the
directions provided.

Most sugar manufactured today is “Extra Fine Granulated” which does have some small particles
which can slip through the openings on the floss band without being melted. If this becomes
objectionable, you can seek out Medium Coarse, or sanding sugars. The larger crystal size will
require more heat to melt. Check the label on the bag of sugar — we commonly see “Free
Flowing” sugar for restaurants, and it contains cornstarch which will burn onto the floss band and
clog the opening. We have also seen some lower priced off-brand “sugar” which is a blend of
sugar and dextrose or corn syrup. This product makes very poor cotton candy. Please make sure
you use quality sugar for your cotton candy machine.

Heat Control Setting Test And Operation

1. Follow the guidelines described on page 3 for supplying power to machine.

2. With main switch still OFF, fill floss head with sugar through top center opening. Always fill it
90% full with sugar. This 90% level is necessary to obtain a balanced condition in the floss
head. DO NOT OVERFILL! Excessive vibration will occur if overfilled. Before turning the power
on, manually turn the head to balance out the sugar. Important: NEVER add sugar when
motor is running.

3. Turn MAIN SWITCH and HEAT SWITCH "ON."

4. Turn heat control knob clockwise to maximum setting to initiate the fastest possible warm up.

5. The machine should start making floss in 45-50 seconds. When the unit starts making floss,
you must reduce the heat setting. Turn the heat control knob counter clockwise to eliminate
smoking.

6. Once you find the ideal setting for the HEAT CONTROL, operate with the setting near this
position each time. If the incoming line voltage changes during the day, the control will
automatically adjust the power to the head to keep the power at the same level as the selected
percent power number.
