2. Turn “OIL SYSTEM MASTER SWITCH” on.
3. Set the timer switch on the bucket seasoning pump control box for the desired HIGHT HEAT melting
time. The length of time you choose depends of the temperature of the oil. Colder oil takes longer to
reach 76 F., the melting point. After you have melted
the oil, the automatic low heat (energized by having the OIL SYSTEM MASTER SWITCH ON) will
usually keep the oil liquid at most room temperatures. Coconut oil will congeal at temperatures below
approximately 76 F. In cold areas, turn on the “HIGH HEAT” occasionally for about 5-10 minutes to
keep the oil liquid.
4. Turn “KETTLE HEAT” switches on approximately five minutes before you estimate the oil will be
melted sufficiently to begin pumping.
5. When the kettle is up to heat, and the oil has melted, press red oil pump button for a few seconds
until oil pump pilot light comes on. Proper amount of oil is automatically pumped into the kettle.
6. Turn “KETTLE MOTOR & EXHAUST SWITCH” on.
7. Lift kettle lid and pour in 16 ounces of corn and 4 teaspoons of flavacol (for 16 oz. Astro Pop ). Close
lid. ( for 20 oz. Astro Pop, use 20 ounces of corn and 5 teaspoons of Flavacol.)
8. After the corn has popped, rotate the dump handle counterclockwise to disengage the agitator. Keep
rotating the handle in this direction to dump the popcorn. There is a stop to prevent the kettle from
being rotated too far.
9. Return the kettle to the upright position.
10. Repeat the cycle starting with Item #5 to pop another kettle of corn.
11. On the final kettle of corn, it is a good idea to turn the “KETTLE HEAT’ switch off, just as the lids are
coerced open by the popping corn. This saves electricity, since there is plenty of heat in the kettle,
and also helps eliminate smoke and odor after you have stopped popping.
POPPING CORN (COUNTER MODEL)
1. Turn the “LIGHT SWITCH” and ‘WARMER SWITCH” on.
2. Turn the “ KETTLE HEAT” switch on approximately five minutes before you are ready to pop corn.
