CHECKING TEMPERATURE CONTROL
There are two ways of checking that the temperature control is set
correctly.
a.
Place the pyrometer over the thermocouple position and turn the
kettle heat on. Watch to see that the kettle heat shuts off at the correct
temperature. Make adjustments as needed.
b.
The temperature control may be adjusted by observing the operation
of the indicator light as described in the “Temperature Control
Operation” section. Adjust the temperature control so that the kettle
heat is turned off 10 to 20 seconds before the corn finishes popping
and the kettle is dumped.
Do not adjust the temperature so high that the pan smokes at the end of
the popping cycle. If set too high (over 500°F or 260°C), the kettle can
become a serious fire hazard.
c.
Observe two or three cycles of correct operation to be certain
everything is working correctly. Your final setting should allow the
indicator light to cycle off 10 to 20 seconds prior to dumping the kettle.
4.
SALT TIMER ADJUSTMENT (For machines supplied with Salt/Sugar
Option only)
When the Salt/Sugar switch is in the sugar mode, the thermostat alone
controls the heat. When the switch is in the salt mode, the temperature
control works the same way with the exception that when the temperature
control opens, it activates a timer, which allows the heat to stay on for an
extended period of time allowing the salted corn to pop. The salt timer is
located in the pedestal of all Giants marked “Salt Timer”. In salt mode:
a.
If the indicator light turns off 30 seconds or more before the corn
finishes popping, the timer is set too low and is in need of adjustment.
b.
There are two adjustments on the timer. The small adjustment knob
sets the maximum time the timer can run. Cretors will normally set this
adjustment for 1m.
10s = 0-10 seconds
1m = 0-1 minute
10m = 0-10 minutes
c.
The larger adjustment knob sets the actual run time (percentage of time
allowed by the small adjustment knob). Example: If the maximum
setting is set for 1m and the large knob is set at .5, the timer will run for
30 seconds. In this case, the heat will stay on 30 seconds after the
temperature control opens.
