Kettle Removal
To remove the kettle assembly, perform the following operations:
1.
Unplug the popcorn machine from the power supply. Make sure the kettle is not hot.
2.
Remove the retainer patch from around the dump shaft.
3. Remove the hex screws on the bottom of the retainer and remove the retainer.
4. Disconnect the lead wires from the mica terminal plate. If digital, also remove
thermocouple wires.
5. Loosen the two square-head setscrews that hold the kettle support plate(s) to the support
shaft.
6. Slide the kettle off of the support shaft.
Use proper lifting techniques when removing the kettle assembly to avoid injury to
back.
7.
If wires must be replaced, be sure to use nickel wire supplied by Cretors. Conventional
copper or ”stove” wire will have a limited life.
8. When removing nuts and spacers from the threaded studs on the bottom of the pan, do not
wipe off the silver lubricant. Without the lubricant (NEVER SEEZ) the nuts may freeze on
the studs and cause the studs to break when the nuts are turned, in an attempt to remove
them.
E.
Kettle Installation
1. When re-assembling the kettle, be sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check to make sure that
all electrical connections are secure. A loose connection can heat up and burn off the wires.
2. Check the kettle support bar to be sure that it is level.
3. Locate the kettle so that the drive shaft lines up with the blade center, and tighten the bolts
on the kettle support plate/(s) that hold the kettle in place.
4. Turn on the agitator and dump the kettle. If the drive shaft does not engage and dis-
engages freely, readjust the kettle. Under normal circumstances if the kettle was aligned
before it was removed, the only adjustment needed is to slide it in or out along the support
shaft until the drive shaft is aligned with the blade center. In severe cases it may be
necessary to make further adjustments, see “Kettle Alignment” section for instructions.
5. When the drive shaft engages and disengages freely, securely tighten the other bolts that
are holding the pan.
6.
Replace the retainer and the retainer patch.
