IV INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Location
Choose a location for your Cretors popcorn machine to maximize the ease of operation and
maintenance procedures. Check your local building and fire codes for location restrictions.
2. Power Supply
A. Check the nameplate to determine the required power supply.
Connect your popcorn popper only to the correct power source. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or death and may damage your popper.
B. C. Cretors and Company recommends dedicated circuits for the Headliner model
popcorn machine. The Headliner model poppers require a dedicated circuit to avoid
voltage drop in the supply wiring. Check your local electrical codes regarding fuse or
circuit breaker requirements.
Make certain your popcorn machine is properly grounded. Failure to do so may result
in damage to your equipment or present a shock hazard.
3. Connecting Machine to Power Supply
A. Make certain that power supply circuit breakers are in the ‘OFF’ position.
B. Push the plug completely into the receptacle. If the cord has a twist lock plug be sure to
turn to lock in position.
C. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Cretors’, or by a Cretors’ approved
service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
4. Pump Installation
Refer to the Service Manual supplied with the pump to be installed in the machine.
5. Counter Model Installation
The Counter Model Headliners have 4” legs which must be attached at the time of
installation. The legs are required to comply with Sanitation Standards.
A person who has not read and understood all service and safety instructions
is not qualified to service the machine.

V SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
In the case of improper operation, qualified personnel only should perform the
following diagnostic checks, and, if necessary, corresponding adjustments and repairs.
Many of the following procedures present an electrical shock hazard and can cause
serious injury or death.
A. Perform work only on de-energized circuits. Failure to do so may lead to electrical
shock resulting in personal injury or death.
1. Parts
When ordering parts, refer to the attached parts diagram. Always supply the serial number,
model number, and voltage of your popcorn machine.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Cretors’, or by a Cretors’ approved
service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
2. Kettle Temperature Control
THERMOSTAT OPERATION
A. The thermostat is installed as a safety device to prevent overheating of the kettle if the
machine should be left unattended momentarily while in operation. The operation of
the thermostat is indicated by the kettle indicator light which is located in the ceiling of
the cabinet. The indicator light should stay on for most of the popping cycle. The
indicator light should go off 10-20 seconds before the corn finishes popping and the
kettle is dumped. If the indicator light goes out 30 seconds or more before the corn
finishes popping, the thermostat may be too low and be in need of adjustment.
CAUTION If the corn has dried out, it may not finish popping at normal
temperatures and the light may appear to go out early. DO NOT ADJUST KETTLE

THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
A. Locate the plugged thermostat adjustment hole on the side of the kettle retainer and
remove the plug.
B. Turn on the kettle heat.
C. Locate pyrometer over thermostat.
D. Set temperature so that the power to heat elements is cut off at the correct temperature.

32 OZ. 420º F. (215º C) 385º F. (193º C)
E. To adjust thermostat, insert a flat blade screwdriver into the slotted adjustment screw
and turn COUNTER - CLOCKWISE to raise the temperature or CLOCKWISE to lower
the temperature.
F. Do not adjust more than one-quarter turn at a time. One full turn of the adjustment
screw equals approximately 110° (43
G. Do not screw the adjusting screw all the way in or out! This will render the
thermostat inoperable and the kettle heat will increase to a dangerous level and
could possibly cause a "flash fire" if oil is put into the pan.
H. If no pyrometer is available, the thermostat may be adjusted by observing the operation
of the indicator light as described in the Thermostat Operation section. Adjust the
thermostat so that the kettle heat is turned off 10 to 20 seconds before the corn finishes
popping and the kettle is dumped
CAUTIONIf the corn has dried out, it may not finish popping at normal temperature,
and the light may appear to go out early. DO NOT ADJUST KETTLE TEMPERATURE
BASED ON POOR QUALITY CORN.
CAUTION Do not adjust the temperature so high that the pan smokes at the end of
the popping cycle. If set too high (over 500°F or 260oC), the kettle can become a
serious fire hazard.
I. Your final setting should allow the indicator light to cycle off 10 to 20 seconds prior to
dumping the kettle.
J. Observe two or three cycles of correct operation to be certain everything is working
correctly.
