Popping Corn Instructions
This section describes popping instructions for Salted Popcorn and Sweet Popcorn (if equipped with
Salt-Sweet or High-Low temperature 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.
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 (Standard) Popcorn
Raw Popcorn Charge:
Use corn measure provided (ex: for 36 oz. Kettle, use 36 oz. corn)
Recommended Oil Volume:
Oil volume is approx. 30% of corn amount (ex: for 36 oz. corn, use 10.8 oz. oil)
Flavacol (Salt) Amount:
Use small Flavacol scoop provided
Note:
When using 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 popping temperature option (if equipped) to Salt (High)
mode.
2.
Kettle is ready to pop (about 5-8 minutes), when the yellow Load/Dump Light and
Audible Signal (beeper, if enabled) turn ON.
3.
Lift kettle lid and pour in pre-measured popcorn and Flavacol; close lid.
4.
Press the “Red” Oil Dispense PB
Switch to add oil (if equipped), or add oil manually
before closing lid (light and beeper will turn OFF in approx. 20 seconds).
5.
When the light and beeper come on again, gently dump the kettle.
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 by a qualified service person
(reference Electronic Temperature Control section).
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. With the Heat
Switch OFF,
the light and beeper will not activate for the last batch.
6.
When finished popping, turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches OFF.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!
