Frequently Asked Questions - SZM 500 A1 SILVERCREST

How to prepare cotton candy?

Plug in the appliance, turn it on and let it heat for 5 minutes. Pour about 14 g of sugar (preferably white granulated) into the sugar container. After a few moments, cotton candy forms around the inner edge of the large bowl. Roll it onto a bamboo stick by turning.

How much sugar to use?

Use only one measuring spoon (about 14 g) to avoid overflow. Do not use more than one spoon at a time.

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Clean the base with a damp cloth, without harsh products. Wash the sugar container by hand with hot water. The large bowl, splash guard, locking ring and spoon can go in the dishwasher.

What if the appliance suddenly turns off?

This is likely the thermal cut-off activating after prolonged use. Unplug the appliance, let it cool down, then have it checked by qualified personnel before reusing.

Can I use colored sugar?

Yes, you can prepare colored sugar by mixing 100 g of white granulated sugar with 6 to 8 drops of liquid food coloring in a freezer bag. Massage the bag until the color is even.

Place the base on a flat surface. Place the large bowl on the base and turn it counterclockwise until it clicks. Attach the splash guard with the locking ring. Finally, place the sugar container onto the drive shaft, aligning the pin.

Is the appliance dishwasher safe?

Only certain parts are dishwasher safe: the large bowl, splash guard, locking ring and measuring spoon. The sugar container must be hand washed with hot water.
