Operating Instructions
This unit is easy to use and provides a convenient, sanitary way for customers to self-serve
portions of popcorn.
1.
Turn Lights/Warmer Switch ON (turns on display lights, crisper, and supplies power to
the dispense button).
2.
Load unit with popcorn (maximum of 6 batches in
cabinet), see popping instructions below.
3.
Lock the popper doors—helps prevent
product tampering (see image).
4.
Hold a container under the dispense chute to
receive popcorn; press dispense button for
desired amount of corn.
Popping Corn Instructions
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.
Raw Popcorn Charge:
Use corn measure provided (ex: for 8 oz. Kettle, use 8 oz. corn)
Recommended Oil Volume:
Oil volume is approx. 30% of corn amount (ex: for 8 oz. corn, use 2.6 oz. oil)
Flavacol (Salt) Amount:
Use small Flavacol scoop provided.
Premeasure all ingredients (adjust as needed for desired taste), or for best results use the 8 oz.

premeasured popcorn and oil pouch, Item No. 2838 (or pouch made for your kettle size).
1.
Turn all switches ON.
2.
To determine when kettle is ready to pop corn (about 4 minutes), test pop three
kernels of corn in one ounce (30 ml) of popping oil. When kernels pop, kettle is ready.
3.
Lift kettle lid, pour in popcorn and Flavacol, then add oil; close lid.
4.
When corn has finished popping, gently dump the popcorn. (To minimize unpopped
kernels, allow corn to finish popping before dumping the kettle.)
Popping Tip:
On final batch, turn Kettle Heat Switch OFF just as lids are forced open
by the popping corn (kettle has plenty of heat to finish popping). This helps
eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue remaining in kettle.
5.
When finished popping, turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches OFF.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!
Units with a kettle heat auto shut-off feature will automatically shut kettle heat OFF after
15 min. of idle time (no popcorn popped). To restart heating, cycle the Heat Switch OFF-ON.
