WARNING!

 After the first popping the kettle is hot.  Avoid contact with the kettle 

when adding corn or salt.  Failure to do so may result in serious burns or scalds.

 

 
Measuring cups have been provided to accurately measure the proper amounts of popcorn, salt 
and oil.  The correct amount for each popping is:

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

corn finishes popping, lift the cover up.  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 kettle. 

 

 

Avoid contact with the kettle when dumping popped corn.  Failure to do so may result 
in serious burns or scalds.

 

 

NOTE

:  The ideal time for maximum volume (corn expansion) is between 2-3/4 to 3-1/2 

minutes from the time the corn is placed into the kettle until the time it is dumped.  Check 
the popping time after several popping cycles.  Reduce the charge of raw corn if the time is 
more than 3-1/2 minutes and increase the charge if the time is less than 2-1/2 minutes per 
popping.  This also may indicate you have a problem with either the thermostat or heating 
element.  If this is not the case, please refer to the Trouble Shooting Section in your Service 
Manual. 

 

IX.   SANITATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

Be certain the machine is turned off and power is unplugged before sanitizing this 
machine unless a specific cleaning procedure requires power to the machine.  Failure 
to do so could result in injury or death.

 

 

 

Do not clean heated surfaces until they have been given sufficient time to cool.   
Failure to do so may result in serious burns.
