3. Turn “KETTLE MOTOR & EXHAUST SWITCH” on.
4. Open the lid and place the oil, the corn, and the salt in the kettle. Close lid.
The popper comes equipped with an 18-ounce corn measure cup. We recommend a flavored and colored
coconut oil, as popcorn in coconut oil stays fresher longer. Coconut oil does not leave the black deposits in
your kettle like other oils. TASTEE-POP bars, being mostly coconut oil are very handy to use.
5. After the corn has popped, rotate the dump handle counterclockwise to dump the popcorn. There is a
stop to prevent the kettle from being rotated too far.
6. Return the kettle to the upright position and rotate the handle clockwise to engage the agitator drive.
7. Repeat the cycle starting with item #4 to pop another kettle of corn.
8. On the final kettle of corn, it is a good idea to turn the “KETTLE HEAT” SWITCH OFF, JUST AS THE
LIDS ARE CORCED 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.
CAUTION: TO AVOID SERIOUS BURNS DO NOT TOUCH
KETTLE WHILE IT IS HOT.
When you are finished popping, make sure ‘KETTLE HEAT” and “KETTLE MOTOR” switches are turned
“OFF”. NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING. If you place oil in a hot kettle,
remember to finish that popping cycle, or turn off the kettle. Exposure to heat starts to break down color and
flavor of popcorn oils.
Always wipe the complete exterior of your kettle with a heavy cloth immediately after you finish popping. Oil
drippings will come off quite easily at this time, but will burn on and stain if not removed. The sales appeal of
a clean and gleaming machine must not be over-looked. Your customers expect it of you.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: UNPLUG YOUR MACHINE BEFORE CLEANING.
GLASS PANEL AND CASE
A clean looking, well kept machine is one of the best ways of advertising your popcorn. Take a clean
cloth and first wipe excess oil from the glass. Wipe the outside, too. Then, use any glass cleaner this
is recommended for cutting grease. We find a wax cleaner such as Johnson’s Shine-Up to be good
for cleaning the aluminum exterior of your machine.
