POPPING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn both the Kettle Heat and Kettle Stir Motor switches to the on position making sure that the
(2) gears are engaged.
2. Wait until the Yellow Light and Audible Signal activate.
3. Load both a full corn/oil charge and Flavacol Seasoning Salt into the kettle. Close the lids.
4. When the corn has finished popping, the Yellow Light and Audible Signal will tell you to dump the
kettle.
REMEMBER
If the Yellow Load – Dump Light is turned on and the signal is sounding, one of the following actions
should be taken:
1. Load the corn and oil
2. Dump the popped corn from the kettle
3. Turn off the Kettle Heat Switch when popping of corn is complete
On the final kettle of corn, it is a good idea to turn the Kettle Heat Switch off just as the lids are forced
open by the popping corn. This procedure saves electricity since the kettle has plenty of heat, and
eliminates smoke and odor from any oil residue that remains after you have finished popping.
When you are finished popping, make sure Kettle Heat and Kettle Motor Switches are turned off.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!!
