II. SAFETY FIRST
The information in this manual is essential for the safe installation and service of your

"The employer shall instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of

III. INTRODUCTION
This manual is filled with time-saving and money-saving information regarding your Cretors
popcorn machine. There is nothing, however, more important than the safety aids and warnings
that are found throughout this document. The Safety Alert Symbol is used to identify topics of
primary safety concern wherever they appear. A separate section has been included which deals
exclusively with service and accident prevention.
If, after reviewing this manual, anything is unclear or technical problems are encountered, contact
the distributor from whom you purchased your machine. For assistance and if there are any
additional questions, feel free to contact our Customer Service Department at the address and/or
phone number listed on the last page of this manual. Always have the model and serial number of
