Popping Corn
This section describes popping instructions for Standard (salted) popcorn and Sweet popcorn (if
equipped with Salt-Sweet option).
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
The popper is equipped with a corn, salt, and oil measure. We recommend 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
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 Salt-Sweet Switch (if equipped) to Salt mode.
2.
When kettle is ready (about 4 minutes), the Load/Dump Light and Audible Signal (if
enabled) will turn ON.
3.
Lift kettle lid and load Mega-Pop
®
premeasured popcorn and oil pouch, or pour in
popcorn and Flavacol, then add oil in premeasured amount; close lid (the Load/Dump
Light and Signal will turn OFF in approx. 20 seconds).
Note:
If unit is equipped with an automatic oil delivery system, add popcorn and
Flavacol, then press the “Red”
Oil Dispense PB Switch to add oil.
4.
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).
5.
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 helps
eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue that remains after popping has stopped.
Note:
When Kettle Heat Switch is OFF, machine will not beep on the last batch.
