POPPING CORN INSTRUCTIONS
This section describes popping instructions for Standard (salted) popcorn, Flexi-Pop (option to pop a
32 oz. or 18 oz, batch of popcorn), and Sweet popcorn.
Remember (for all popping modes):
When the Yellow 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
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 your
kettle like other oils. Use only top quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers.

POPPING STANDARD (SALTED) POPCORN
1.
Turn all switches ON (if equipped, the Flexi-Pop Switch should be on 32 oz. and the Salt-Sweet
Switch should be on Salt mode).
Note: When popping with coconut oil, be sure the oil is liquid. As a check, dispense oil into a
measuring cup first (should be between 8 to 10.5 oz., then use that oil for the first
popping cycle.
2.
When the kettle is ready (about 5-8 minutes), the Yellow Light and Audible Signal (if enabled)
will turn ON.
3.
Lift the kettle lid and pour in the popcorn and Flavacol in the premeasured amounts specified
above. Close lid.
4.
Press the “Red” Oil Dispense PB Switch to add oil. The proper amount of oil is pumped into the
kettle. The Light and Signal will turn OFF.
5.
When the corn has finished popping the Light and Signal will turn ON, then gently dump the
popcorn.
Note: The signal “To Dump” was factory set based on our popcorn and oil. If the signal occurs
before or after the popping has stopped, the signal timing must be adjusted. Have a
qualified service person adjust the signal to dump (reference the Electronic
Temperature Control section).
