Popping Corn Instructions
This section describes popping instructions for Standard (salted) popcorn and Sweet popcorn (if
equipped with Salt-Sweet option). Flexi-Pop option (if equipped) pops a full size or reduced size
batch of popcorn.
Remember (for all popping modes): When the Load Dump Light comes ON, and Audible Signal
(if enabled) is sounding, one of the following actions should be taken:
Load the corn and oil or
Dump the popped corn from the kettle or
Turn OFF the Kettle Heat if you are finished popping corn.
Amount of Popcorn and Oil – Salted Popcorn
This popper is equipped with corn, salt, and oil measures. Gold Medal recommends flavored and
colored coconut oil. Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresh longer and does not leave black
deposits in the kettle like other oils. Use only top quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers.

Popping Salted Popcorn
Reference chart on previous page for popcorn, oil, and Flavacol amounts to pop a full size or
reduced size batch.
Note: When popping with coconut oil, be sure the oil is liquid. As a check, dispense oil
into a measuring cup first, then use that oil for the first popping cycle.
1.
Turn all switches ON; set Flexi-Pop Switch (if equipped) to desired batch size; set
Salt-Sweet Switch (if equipped) to Salt mode.
2.
When kettle is ready (about 5-8 minutes), the Load/Dump Light and Audible Signal (if
enabled) will turn ON.
3.
Lift kettle lid and pour in pre-measured amount of corn and Flavacol (see chart for
amounts); close lid.
4.
Press the “Red” Oil Dispense PB Switch to add oil (the Load/Dump Light and Signal will
turn OFF in approx. 20 seconds).
5.
When corn has finished popping, the Load/Dump Light and Audible Signal will turn
ON, then gently dump the popcorn.
Note: The signal “To Dump” was factory set based on Gold Medal popcorn and oil. If,
after 3 consecutive batches, the signal occurs before or after popping has
stopped, then the signal timing can be adjusted. Have a qualified service person
adjust the signal to dump (reference Electronic Temperature Control section).
6.
On final kettle of corn, turn Kettle Heat Switch OFF just as lids are forced open by the
popping corn. This procedure saves electricity, since kettle has plenty of heat, and
