CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

TORNADO AND DELUXE WHIRLWIND CONTROLS

MOTOR SWITCH

DPST switch which serves as a master OFF-ON switch and energizes the cooling fan and spinner head drive motor.

NOTE: The drive motor is equipped with an internal centrifugal safety switch which makes

contact when the floss spinner head reaches approximately 2050 RPM, thus completing the heat circuit. This mechanism provides a safety circuit for the heating ribbons in the case of a motor malfunction.

HEAT SWITCH

Three position DPDT switch: Emergency, Off, Normal

Emergency (Red position)

This position applies the fixed transformer to increase the line voltage 35 volts (increase the heat in the spinner head) and provide for faster heating. This position should be used when low supply voltage conditions exitst. While this position is ordinarily used for startup under normal operating conditions, it might also be used in situations where the ribbons or equipment have had extensive use.

Off

With the switch in this position, the floss ribbons will not heat.

Normal (Blue position)

This position applies the fixed transformer to decrease the line voltage by 35 volts (decrease the heat to the spinner head) and provide a normal operating range.

HEAT CONTROL

This is a variable transformer used to provide finer control across the pre-selected range of the heat switch. It increases or decreases the voltage to the spinner head (raising or lowering the heat to the head). On the door panel surrounding the heat knob are red and blue graduated scales from 1 to 9 designed to correspond with the setting of the heat switch. For example, if the heat switch is set to normal (blue), adjustments to the ribbon temperatures using the heat control are made reading the blue scale. The greater the number, the greater the heat.

X-15R WHIRLWIND CONTROLS

MAIN POWER AND MOTOR SWITCH

DPST switch which serves as a master OFF-ON switch and energizes the cooling fan and spinner head drive motor. NOTE: The drive motor is equipped with an internal centrifugal

safety switch which makes contact when the floss spinner head reaches approximately 2050 RPM, thus completing the heat circuit. This mechanism provides a safety circuit for the heating ribbons in the case of a motor malfunction.

HEAT RANGE SWITCH

This is a 4-position tap switch with "A", "B", "C" and "OFF" positions. The "A" position corresponds to the highest heating potential, "B" is an intermediate range, and "C" corresponds to the coolest position.

HEAT CONTROL FINE TUNING

This is a rheostat which allows you to make small, incremental adjustments to the spinner head ribbon temperatures. The higher the number, the greater the voltage and temperature.

WARNING

and

MAKING FLOSS

1. Before operating your machine, read this section on how to make floss.

2. Using a damp cloth, moisten the inside of the floss pan. This will cause the floss to adhere to

the sides of the pan. The Whirlgrip Floss Stabilizer Model No. 3010 works more effectively to prevent floss from leaving the pan and is offered by Gold Medal at a modest price. See the illustration on page 6 which shows proper installation of the Whirlgrip Floss Stabliizer.

3. After reading this entire section, operate your machine as described in the operating

instructions for your machine following this section.

4. Pay attention to the direction of the floss as it is spun out of the head. It should be thrown

against and adhere to the sides of the floss pan. Attached to the top plate of the spinner head are two floaters, these give additional air current for floss control. By twisting the leading edge of the floaters down, you get more lift and the floss will go upward. With the leading edge up, the floss will go down. A little practice should give you good control in any climatic condition.

5. To pick up floss: Once you practice awhile, anyone can be an expert at rolling the web of

cotton candy onto the cone. First, pick up the cone. If it sticks in the stack of cones, do not pull, but twist it off the stack. Hold an inch or two of the pointed end of the cone between your two fingers and your thumb. With a light flicking action, break the web of floss that is building up in the pan. Usually some floss will stick to the cone. Lift up the cone with the ring of floss attached and, by rotating the cone, wind the floss onto it. Do NOT roll floss onto the cone while it is inside the pan. This will just pack the floss onto the cone, causing you to use more floss to fill the cone, and result in less cones of floss per load of sugar. For additional help, reference Floss Making Procedures section.

If you experience difficulty in getting the floss to stick to the cone, it will be helpful to pass the cone over a damp sponge. One pass over the sponge should cause the floss to stick, allowing easier floss pick-up. Many experienced operators prefer to lift the ring out of the pan and, with a flick of the wrist, turn the ring into a figure eight and whip it around the cone. This leaves giant air pockets and makes it appear that you are serving a larger portion.

Shut Down Procedure

When completing operation for the day (or any prolonged period), run all the sugar out of the floss head. When empty, turn the heat to highest position for approximately one minute to “clean” the band by baking off remaining sugar. NEVER put water in the floss head.

Cleaning Instructions

Machine must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock to personnel.

DO NOT immerse in water.

Always unplug the equipment before cleaning or servicing.

025_020314

Burn Hazard. DO NOT touch spinner head. Allow to cool before cleaning or servicing. Avoid contact with molten sugar.

Unplug the machine and wait for the floss head to cool down to room temperature. Wipe all surfaces with a clean, damp cloth. Make sure all parts are dry before resuming operation.

SUGAR FOR YOUR COTTON CANDY

Our ready to use FLOSSUGAR is the preferred sugar for your new cotton candy machine, but and 100% pure Cane or Beet Sugar will do just fine. Our FLOSSUGAR gives you good rich colors, and great flavors, too. It is packed in handy half-gallon sealed cartons, with E-Z pour spout for filling your machine. FLOSSUGAR comes in 8 flavors, and you can easily change colors for greatest variety, and best sales.

If you want to “Mix Your Own”—use our FLOSSINE, and please follow our directions. If you want a deeper color, slightly dampen the mixed sugar—use a tablespoon of water per five pounds of sugar—sprinkle water over sugar, and mix well. DO NOT USE EXCESS COLOR— too much color will mess up the ribbons on your machine, and could impart a bitter taste to the candy. There is a limit as to how dark you can make cotton candy-that’ s because it is 98% air; and we cannot color the air.

Today 99% of the sugar manufactured is “Extra Fine Granulated” which does have some small particles which can slip thru the ribbons without being melted. If this becomes objectionable, you can seek out Medium Coarse, or sanding sugars. The larger crystal size will require a little more heat to melt. Read the label on the bag of sugar—today we see some “Free Flowing” sugar for restaurants, and it contains cornstarch, which will burn onto your ribbons, clogging them rapidly. We have also seen some cheap 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 get good sugar for your cotton candy machine.

FLOATER ADJUSTMENT

Form leather floaters as shown. This creates a lifting action to float the floss across the gap to the side of the floss pan.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TORNADO AND DELUXE WHIRLWIND

1. Plug in floss machine.

2. Before turning on the motor switch and with the spinner head stationary, fill floss head about 90% full with sugar. Do NOT overfill! Whenever you add sugar to the floss head, always fill it abour 90% full. This is necessary to obtain a balanced condition in the floss head or excessive vibration will occur. Never add sugar when motor is running. After adding Flossugar, manually rotate head to balance.

3. Flip Motor Switch to On position.

4. Flip the Heat Switch to Emergency position. This is for a fast warm up. Turn Heat Control up until voltmeter indicator arrow moves into the red start area.

5. The machine should begin to make floss in a matter of a few seconds. After floss is being produced, place Heat Switch in Normal position. Adjust the Heat Control until the voltmeter

X-15R WHIRLWIND

indicator arrow moves into the green run area.

CAUTION

Never operate equipment for prolonged period of time with the Heat Control in a position that causes the sugar to smoke. This will result in excessive carbonization of the ribbon (heat element). If you smell burning sugar or see smoke, reduce the heat.

6. Once you find the ideal setting for the Heat Control, you should be able to operate near this position each time.

7. Read the section in this manual on Making Floss before going into full production

1. Plug in floss machine.

2. Before turning on the main power and motor switch, and with the spinner head stationary, fill the floss head about 90% full with sugar. Do Not Over Fill! Whenever you add sugar to the floss head, always fill the head about 90% full. This is necessary to obtain a balanced condi tion in the floss head and eliminate excessive vibration. Never Add Sugar When Motor Is Running. After Adding flossugar manually rotate head to balance.

3. turn the Main Power and Motor Switch to the On position.

4. Turn Heat Range Switch to position "A". Rotate Heat Control Fine Tuning Knob to Maximum position (No. 8). This setting will produce the fastest possible warm up.

5. You should start making floss in a few seconds. When the unit gets up to heat, it will probably start to smoke. Reduce the Heat Control Fine Tuning setting to eliminate the smoke. If you cannot eliminate the smoking in this manner, turn the Heat Range Switch to position "B" and set the Heat Control Fine Tunning to postion No. 8 once more. If smoking continues reduce the Heat Control Fine Tuning setting. If necessary, repeat once more with the Heat Range

Switch on "C".

NOTE:

6. Once you find the ideal Heat Range Switch and Heat Control Fine Tuning positions, you should be able to operate near these positions each time you operate.

7. Read the section on Making Floss before going into full production.

You can fine tune in all three heat range positions.
