  1. Place Machine on a flat, stable surface.
  2. Ensure Machine is in the ‘Unlock’ position.
  3. Plug in floss machine to a grounded outlet.
  4. With the Candy Switch “OFF”, turn the Power Switch “ON”. The spinner head will not start to rotate.
  5. With the spinner head stopped, pour flosssugar into the spinner head. Fill to about the 90% level.  DO NOT OVERFILL.
  6. Turn the Candy Switch “ON”. The spinner head will rotate and heat.  After about 30 seconds the machine will start to make cotton candy.
  7. When the spinner head is empty or to stop making cotton candy, turn the Candy Switch “OFF”. The cooling cycle will start.  When the cooling cycle completes, the spinner head will stop rotating.  If making more cotton candy, when the spinner head is stopped, refill with floss sugar, turn the Candy Switch “ON” and continue to make cotton candy.

Note:   During the cooling cycle the spinner head will remain spinning.  Cooling is necessary to keep carbon from forming in the spinner head.  Do Not use the Power Switch to stop the machine.  This will bypass the cooling cycle.

To transport the machine, ensure the machine is in the “Lock” Position.

Chafing Dishes are a great way to keep your food warm for hours.

  5. Maintain water level in pan to prevent burning
  6. To keep food warmer longer, replace lid after each serving is takenSave
  7. Sterno fuel will last 2 – 2 ½ hours
  8. You may use the food pans to cook in or you can place it in the oven prior to placing in the chafing dish so it
    will stay hot longer
  9. Prior to returning, please empty all food from the inserts

NOTE: The fountain must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock.

Beverage Fountains are designed to circulate clear beverages. Use of beverages with pulp, seeds, fruit, rinds, ect. Will restrict the flow of beverage and potentially clog the motor.

Operating Instructions:

  • Plug fountain in to grounded electrical outlet
  • Fill fountain with approximately 2 quartz of your choice of punch or champagne (be sure not to use punch with pulp as it will clog the motor and prevent fountain from working)
  • Turn switch at the bottom to on position and fountain will start to work (it takes about one minute for the punch to make its’ way to the top)
  • Be sure to keep punch at a level above the motor to ensure it doesn’t run dry
  • When finished empty contents of fountain and return to Tiffany Party Rentals on your scheduled date
  • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OR DISMANTLE FOUNTAIN IN ANY WAY

Helpful Hints:

  • To chill a beverage, use chunks of ice in the bowl, or ice cubes sealed in a plastic bag to prevent dilution of punch
  • Pre-cool beverage whenever possible
  • Carbonation will dissipate after 10 to 20 minutes of re-circulating in the fountain (add smaller quantities of the mixtures from time to time to maintain carbonation
  1. Always use coffee maker on a dry, level surface.
  2. With basket and stem removed, fill coffee maker with COLD water to desired measurement.

  4. Put cover on coffee maker and plug into 120 volt AC grounded outlet only, turn switch to on.
  5. The coffee maker will stop perking automatically. Coffee is ready when light in base glows. Coffee will remain at serving temperature as long as it remains plugged in and switch is on.
  6. Before serving, use pot holder to remover stem and basket containing grounds. If this is not done, coffee will become bitter.
  7. For cup-on-saucer filling, press faucet handle down. For a continuous flow when filling a coffee server, lift handle straight up until it locks into open position.
  8. When coffee can no longer be seen in glass gauge, turn switch to off and unplug coffee maker.

One or more laydown mats can be used. Bets are placed on any of the six designs.
When the wheel stops, the payoff is according to the position of the clapper. Remember always collect from the losing bets first, then pay the winners!

Crown & Anchor Wheel
If the clapper were as follows: crown, spade, diamond, then each of these would receive their money back i.e. they have doubled their money. If the clapper stops at 3 crowns, then the pay-off is three to one. i.e. The players with their bets on the crown would get their original money plus three times

Over & Under Wheel
This game is very simple to play and manage.
When the clapper stops on the over or the under, then those in this position win an equivalent amount. i.e. They have doubled their money.
If the clapper stops on the seven, the pay off is three to one i.e. they get their original money back plus three times

Racehorse Wheel
When the wheel stops, the clapper will point to the odds and the winning horse.
The odds are the numbers on the outer edge of the wheel.
For instance, if the clapper points to horse #4 and the odds are indicated by the clapper pointing at #5, all those who placed a bet in the #4 position will be paid off on a 5 to 1 basis. i.e. They will receive their original money back plus five times

Safety Guidelines
Be sure that there is plenty of clearance between the player and the spectators. Remember that the risk always exists that the player could lose their grip on the golf club and send it flying backwards. The type of injuries which can result from being struck by a golf club in mid-swing can be severe. Prevent this from happening by assuring a safe distance between player and spectators.

If using the game outdoors, it is strongly suggested that you use the stakes provided on either side of the bottom supports. NEVER USE THE GAME IN STRONG WINDS OR LIGHTING.
Use caution when setting up or taking down the game – the sections of tubing can come apart and fall down causing injury. Use only the Velcro golf balls included with the game.

Assembly Instructions
Select a level area to operate game with plenty of room to allow for a line to form and a safe distance between player and spectators.
Assemble framework – note that the eight longer pieces of tubing are used to form the outer edges (2 per side), while the four shorter crimped pieces are used to create the base.
Be sure to tighten down the fittings using the small bolts on them.
Attach canvas to the framework using the Velcro straps.
If using the game outdoors, it is strongly suggested that you use the stakes provided on either side of the bottom supports. Use sandbags on pavement
Never fold up canvas wet – Always allow to dry thoroughly first.

3. Let the kettle heat for approximately 4 minutes
4. Add oil bar from pre-measured popcorn packages
5. Let oil melt then add the kernels

On your Final Batch turn kettle heat switch to off as soon as corn starts popping. When popping is complete, turn off motor switch. Keep popcorn warm with light warmer.

Troubleshooting: If corn is not popping, ensure the kettle heat switch is on and the sprocket at the top of the kettle is engaged with the kettle motor.

The Snow Cone Machine is simple to operate and a great attraction for any event!

NOTE: The machine must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock.

Tips:

  1. Start the motor and fill neck an inch from the top with ice pieces 3” x 4” or ice cubes. Hint: the larger the ice pieces, the better the snow.
  2. Push ice down against the blade with firm pressure using the arm of the machine. Hint: Do not force the handle. Too much pressure will cause coarse ice to form and too little will make it mushy.
  3. Do not put anything but ice in the neck of the machine to prevent damage.
  4. Keep fingers and long hair away from machine when motor is running or when machine is plugged in to prevent injury.
  5. When finished, empty the ice from the cavity of the machine and return to
    Tiffany Party Rentals by the scheduled date and time.
