Electronic Temperature Control (Domestic)
Operation
The temperature control is factory set to stop the power to the kettle when the thermocouple
reaches setpoint. This is also the ideal point to dump the popped corn out of the kettle. On the
first start-up, this is the ideal time to load the corn and oil. Therefore, if the Kettle Heat Switch is
turned ON and the buzzer 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 Switch if you are finished popping corn.
Adjustment of Electronic Control
This unit has an electronic kettle control with 2 thermocouples (TC), one for control and one for
limit. There are no mechanical thermostats in this kettle.
There are (4) factory adjustments on the control:
1.
Control Setpoint Temperature – This is factory set,
DO NOT
adjust
.
2.
Signal to Dump – If you want the signal to dump to be a little sooner or later, you can
adjust the Kettle Dump potentiometer (see image below). Turn clockwise (CW) to signal
sooner, counterclockwise (CCW) to signal later.
3.
The patented Overshoot circuit is tuned for the kettle,
DO NOT
adjust
this potentiometer.
4.
The Audible Signal to Dump has three options; full volume, half volume, no sound (yellow
light only). Adjustments are made by jumper positions (see image below). The unit is
shipped with full volume.
It does not matter which TC goes

yellow leads go to the positive
terminals.
