C.  The kettle is provided with an agitator to assist in the quick and even distribution of heat 

throughout the kernels. 

 

 
 
 

 

 

The oil is heated to high temperatures in a kettle provided with electric heating 
elements to reach proper popping temperature.  An operator is required in the 
vicinity of the kettle only when handling corn or dumping popped corn from the 
kettle.  Neither of these operations requires direct contact with the kettle.  Direct 
contact with the hot oil, kettle, or heating elements could result in serious burns or 
scalds.  Keep away from the kettle whenever possible.  Use the handle when 
dumping the kettle, and use the provided cups when necessary to measure corn, 
oil and salt.

 

 

D.  As the popcorn pops, it will push the lid open and discharge into the cabinet.  When the 

corn finishes popping, the corn remaining in the kettle can be removed by holding the 
kettle handle in your right hand and rotating down in a clockwise direction to dump the 
kettle.

 

 

E.  Your T 3000 and profiteer model Cretors popcorn popper case is equipped with a heat 

lamp and a thermostatically controlled heat pad to keep the popcorn fresh and crisp.  
T-3000 plus is provided with a forced hot air cornditioner system. 

 

F.

 

One Pop Option only allows the kettle to pop one batch of corn at a time and then shut 
down.  The One Pop Option makes it impossible to leave a kettle heat turned on. 

 

G.

 

The kettle heat indicator light will be on when the kettle is heating.  The kettle will heat 
until the thermostat opens at the end of the popping cycle.  When the thermostat opens, 
the kettle heat indicator light goes out and the kettle begins to cool.  The kettle will not 
begin to heat again until the kettle has cooled and the One Pop button is pressed. 

 

H.

 

When popping several batches in sequence, the kettle heat indicator light may not go on 
immediately when the One Pop button is pressed.  It may be necessary to add the corn 
and oil to the kettle to cause it to cool down enough to begin another cycle. 
 

I.

 

If the machine is equipped with the Salt/Sugar option, the operator moves the toggle 
switch to either the salt or sugar position for desired corn type.  The oil volume will be set 
to the appropriate amount.  In the salt position, the thermostat will turn off at the sugar 
temperature but a timer will allow the heat to remain on until the corn has finished 
popping.
