Electrical Requirements
The following power supply must be provided:
2174DEL and 2174DER: 120 V~, 3408 W, 60 Hz
This unit requires a NEMA 5-20R receptacle. A certified electrician must supply and
install the required wall receptacle.
2175DEL and 2175DER: 120/208 or 120/240 V~, 3408 W, 60 Hz
This unit is designed to operate on single phase, 20 AMP, 4 wire supply, 120/208 or
120/240 V~ (2 Hot, 1 Neutral, 1 Ground). All electrical components in this machine are
120 V (motors, heat elements, lights, etc.) and therefore require “Hot to Neutral”
connection (NOT “Hot to Hot”). A wall receptacle is supplied with the machine. This
receptacle will accept the attachment plug on the machine and must be used.
Machine must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock to personnel.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury, or death.
DO NOT immerse any part of this equipment in water.
DO NOT use excessive water when cleaning.
Keep cord and plug off the ground and away from moisture.
Always unplug the equipment before cleaning or servicing.
Make sure all machine switches are in the OFF position before plugging the
equipment into the receptacle.
008_051514
A certified electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation and install any
supplied receptacle. We recommend this equipment be on a dedicated and protected circuit.
Failure to wire properly will void the warranty and may result in damage to the machine. It is Gold
Medal Products Co.’s recommendation that this machine be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The
use of extension cords is not recommended due to safety concerns, and may cause sacrificed
and/or reduced performance. Make sure cord is located to prevent a trip hazard or unit upset.

Receptacle Installation (2175 Series ONLY)
A certified electrician must follow the IMPORTANT instructions below for installation of the
L14-20 Receptacle (Gold Medal Item No. 41254) provided with Model 2175 Series units.
If the receptacle is wired incorrectly, the heat elements/kettle and other electrical components
could be at 208 or 240 V potential instead of the needed 120 V, resulting in excessive temperatures
in the heat elements (i.e.: kettle) and possible fire, and/or damage to electrical components.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controls and Their Functions
HEAT/MOTOR SWITCH
Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch – provides power to the heating elements in
the bottom of the kettle, and powers the agitator motor to turn for 30 seconds of every
minute. The green switch light ON indicates there is power to these features.
Note: It is normal for the motor to stop for 30 seconds of every minute (when the Motor
Only Switch is OFF).
MOTOR ONLY SWITCH
Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch – provides power to the agitator motor to
run continuously.
Note: The main function of this switch is for mixing the product/popcorn at the
end of the cooking cycle with the kettle in the tilt position, and it is used for
“cleaning mode”.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
The Circuit Breaker protects the Motor and Heat Control from an overload condition.
KETTLE DUMP HANDLE
The Kettle Dump Handle tilts the kettle from the upright, cook position, to the mix
position or the dump position.

The Digital Heat Control adjusts the Set Point Temperature of the unit. The machine comes
from the factory preset to achieve a Product Cook Temperature of 280°F. See Heat Control
Adjustment/Calibration section for adjusting the Product Cook Temperature.
Note: The sound of the buzzer signals kettle heat shut-off. The buzzer will continue to
sound until the unit is turned off or until the unit temperature falls below set point.

Digital Heat Control Adjustment/Calibration
Product Cook Temperature is the actual temperature of the PRODUCT (Caramel Corn Mix); this
is measured with an accurate candy thermometer. Infrared temperature readers are NOT
recommended.
Set Point Temperature is the temperature setting of the KETTLE; this is the temperature
needed to get the Carmel Corn Mix up to the finished Product Cook Temperature of 280°F. The
digital display shows the kettle temperature, NOT the product temperature.
Note: The Set Point Temperature will be higher than the product temperature.
Refer to the candy thermometer for accurate product temperature.
Digital Heat Control Adjustment
The machine comes from the factory preset to achieve a Product Cook Temperature of 280°F.
Small adjustments may need to be made for mix used or cooking conditions. If the product is
ready, either before or after the buzzer sounds, then follow the steps listed to increase or
decrease the Set Point Temperature of the kettle:
Note: The sound of the buzzer signals kettle heat shut-off.
1. To change the Set Point Temperature, press the key. The display shows SP
followed by a temperature number flashing. Use the arrow keys to set the desired
temperature.
2. Once the temperature is set, press the key to lock in the new temperature.
Digital Heat Control Calibration (Performed at the Factory)
This unit has been calibrated at the factory. Other than small adjustments made for mix used or
cooking conditions (see above Digital Heat Control Adjustments), the unit is ready for use and
should not need calibration.
To reset the Digital Heat Control back to factory settings follow the procedure shown below.
Note: For calibration purposes only, corn oil is used to determine the Digital Heat Control
temperature setting which will produce an accurate finished product temperature
of 280°F.
1. Start with a clean unit, which is cool before attempting to calibrate.
2. Fill the mixing bowl with a one inch depth of corn oil.
3. Turn the Heat/Motor Switch ON.
4. Use an accurate candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the oil in the
mixing bowl. (Infrared temperature readers are NOT recommended.)
5. Set the digital control set point temperature to 350°F.
