POPPING CORN

AMOUNT OF POPCORN AND OIL Your new popper is equipped with a corn, salt, and oil measure. We recommend flavored and colored coconut oil. Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresh longer. Coconut oil does not leave black deposits in your kettle like other oils. Corn charge – 16 oz. Use the corn Cup supplied and fill to the top. Oil charge – 4-5 oz. Flavacol – 20 cc (approx. 4.0 tsp) POPPING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switch ON. 2. Wait until the Yellow Load/Dump Indicator lights (and alarm sounds). 3. Load pre-measured popcorn and oil into kettle, or portion pack kits that contain the oil-corn-salt. 4. When corn has popped the Yellow Load/Dump Indicator lights (and alarm sounds), dump the kettle. 5. Repeat cycle starting with Item #3; always pop 3-5 batches minimum for best popcorn.

When you are finished popping, make sure “KETTLE HEAT” and “KETTLE MOTOR” switches are turned “OFF”.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS DAILY: Clean the Kettle

1. As you pop corn, wipe the kettle with a clean cloth. It is easy to keep the outside clean when the kettle is warm and the oil is not baked on. CAUTION: The hot kettle will cause burns if you touch it with your hand. Allow the kettle to cool for at least 1 hour before attempting to clean.

2. Every night, add 10 – 12 oz. of Heat’n Kleen solution (mix 2 tablespoons Heat’n Kleen per gallon of water). Turn on the kettle heat. When the water starts to boil, turn off the heat and let it work overnight.

3. The next morning, dump the solution into a bucket and wipe the inside of the kettle with a cloth. Clean the Popcorn Machine 1. Wipe the stainless steel parts with a clean cloth and cleaner designed for stainless steel. Do not

use oven cleaners, as they will damage parts of the machine. 2. Check and replace if necessary the exhaust filter. (see the next page for instructions) 3. Ammonia cleaners will damage the plastic doors. Use only non-ammonia cleaners, such as

Gold Medal’s – Watchdog Glass Cleaner – item number 2588.

Filter Cleaning Instructions

Your popcorn machine is equipped with an efficient and durable filtration system. However, the filter should be cleaned every 1-2 weeks to maintain efficiency. Follow the steps below for proper filter cleaning:

1. The filter is located on the inside of the popcorn machine, directly above the popping kettle.

2. Remove the filter by gripping the filter itself, and pulling straight down. (As shown below.)

3. Clean the filter in warm soapy water, and allow to dry overnight. Replace the filter by putting it into the slot, and pushing upward. (As shown below) Make sure the filter frame is flush with the roof of the machine. (As shown above)

TROUBLESHOOTING

LONG POPPING CYCLES If your pop cycle is longer than 4 minutes, it can be the result of several things:

A. LOW VOLTAGE - If the machine is operated on low voltage, this could cause the kettle not to reach the proper operating temperature. Voltage must be at least 110v with the kettle heat on.

B. INADEQUATE SUPPLY LINES - Inadequately sized electrical supply lines, in addition to being a fire hazard, would also prevent the kettle from reaching the proper operating temperature. Check with a qualified electrician.

C. INFERIOR CORN - Inferior quality corn would result in longer popping cycles and burned corn. Use only top quality hybrid popcorn from reputable suppliers. Even then, if you let your corn pick up moisture or dry out, your popping cycles will be slow and the corn may burn.

KETTLE DOES NOT HEAT Before you go any further, make sure the kettle lead-in cord is plugged in.

A. KETTLE HEAT SWITCH - Check the voltage to and from the “KETTLE HEAT” switch, and if the switch is defective, replace it.

MOTOR WILL NOT TURN AGITATOR

WARNING! If the kettle agitator shaft is not rotating, DO NOT pop corn. Adjust the clearance between the kettle bottom and the stir blade to 1/32” (use a dime). Loosen the set screw in the collars above and below the crossbar and adjust the agitator shaft as necessary. Then re-tighten the set screws in the collars.

Electronic Temperature Control This popper has a electronic kettle control with 2 thermocouples, one for control and one for limit. There are no mechanical thermostats in this kettle. There are (4) factory adjustments on the control:

� Control temperature – do not adjust this one � Signal to dump – If you want the signal to dump to be a little sooner or later you can adjust the potentiometer marked

“kettle dump”. CW is sooner, CCW is later. � The patented overshoot circuit is tuned for the kettle, do not adjust this potentiometer. � The audible signal to dump has three options; full volume, half volume, no sound (just the yellow light). Adjustments

are by jumper positions. We ship will full volume.

The control temperature is set at 440F, DO NOT ADJUST

The overshoot is set at – 10%), full CW position, DO NOT ADJUST

Remove this jumper for no sound

Remove this jumper for lower volume

It does not matter which TC goes to A or B. It does matter that the yellow leads go to the positive terminals.

This is the “Kettle Dump” adjustment, and is factory set to signal when the kettle is ready to dump. Turning CW will signal sooner, CCW will signal later. If you need to adjust, make very small adjustments.
