SANITATION INSTRUCTIONS
Be certain the machine is turned ‘OFF’ and power is unplugged before sanitizing this
machine. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
Do not clean heated surfaces until they have been given sufficient time to cool.
Failure to do so may result in serious burns.
1. Popping Kettle
A. Do not immerse an assembled pan in water. This will damage the electrical
components and my cause short circuits resulting in electrical shock hazard if
power is applied.
B. Do not use steel wool or other similar abrasives to clean the kettle as they will ruin the
kettle by removing the nickel plating.
C. Do not attempt to clean the kettle with power connected unless you are boiling the
"CKC" cleaning compound to clean the inside of the kettle in step F.
D. Do not attempt to clean a hot kettle. Failure to do so may result in serious burns or
scalds.
E. The kettle has a polished nickel finish and is very easy to clean if oil is not allowed to
burn on it. After the final popping, the best practice is to wait until the oil just begins to
solidify, then take a cotton towel or absorbent rag and wipe the kettle. Once the oil is
allowed to completely solidified, it can become more difficult to remove. We
recommend coconut oil for your Cretors popper; it will not stick or burn as easily as
other oils.
F. A thorough cleaning every week with "CKC" cleaning compound is recommended.
This will prevent the accumulation of carbon on the bottom and internal sides of the
kettle. When boiling the "CKC" cleaning compound in the kettle, do not fill the kettle
with more than 3/4" high of water inside the kettle. If the kettle has been overheated or
oils that tend to carbonize are used the normal cleaning procedures may not suffice.
Increase frequency as needed.
G. Cretors Outside Kettle Cleaner "COC" should be used periodically to remove popping
oil that may become baked to the outside of the kettle. The kettle agitator assembly
should be removed weekly for thorough cleaning.
