OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Remove the top cover of the popper by taking out the four screws located in each corner. Place the
decorative cornice on either the front or back of the canopy and secure using the supplied three
washers and nuts. Replace the top cover.
2.
Plug the machine into a properly grounded 120 volt power supply.
3.
Install a 50 watt or smaller light bulb in the socket in the chassis (not necessary for operation). For
best results use a 50 watt R20 mini flood bulb.
4.
Turn on the “MASTER” switch and the interior lamp will come on and the warming element in the
base will be activated.
5.
Turn on the “KETTLE” switch and the heat to the kettle and the agitating motor will be activated.
Wait approximately 5 minutes to allow the kettle to get up to operating temperature.
6.
Place ½ cup of raw popcorn kernels, 1/6 cup of cooking oil and 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt into the
kettle and lower the kettle lid.
(use Benchmark USA part # 42004 – Popcorn measure kit)
7.
Allow the corn to pop until the popping ceases (3 seconds between pops) then dump the kettle by
turning the handle clock-wise and pulling downward.
8.
For additional batches repeat steps 5 & 6. It will not be necessary to wait 5 minutes since the kettle
will already be up to operating temperature.
9.
After popping the final batch, turn off the “KETTLE” switch and with a damp cloth wipe any excess
oil from the inside and outside of the kettle to prevent burned on oil stains. Use caution as the kettle
will be HOT!
10.
If you leave the “MASTER” switch in the on position, the warming element in the base will keep any
popped corn fresh and warm. The interior lamp will remain on as well and serve as a reminder that
the popper is on.
KETTLE CARE
CAUTION: NEVER SUBMERGE THE KETTLE IN ANY LIQUID! IT WILL SHORT OUT THE
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS INSIDE OF IT AND VOID THE WARRANTY!
1.
Always turn off the “KETTLE” switch after popping the final batch of a session. Leaving it on will
burn any residue oil that is left in the kettle.
2.
For routine cleaning: After popping the final batch of a session, use a damp cloth to wipe the excess
oil from the interior and exterior of the kettle.
3.
Benchmark USA kettles are anodized to create an easy cleaning, non-stick surface. However, if
excess oil is not removed it will eventually carbonize on the surface. For heavily built-up carbon
removal it is recommended to use (
Benchmark USA part # 43001 – kettle cleaning kit
).
CABINET CARE
Always unplug the machine from the power supply before cleaning!
1. The Stainless steel bottom tray, old-maid drawer and drop door are removable for easy cleaning in a
sink or dishwasher. Use a mild detergent and water.
2.
Use a standard glass cleaner for the glass panels and corner posts.
