CHECKING SHIPMENT
Unpack all cartons and check thoroughly for any damage which might have occurred in transit. Damage
claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

2388EX: 230V, 50Hz 1525W
If in doubt, your electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation. We recommend
this popper 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 Company’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.
INSTALLATION
Your Econo 8 Popper was adjusted, inspected, and tested before it left the factory. Remove all packing
before setting up your new Econo 8. Hang the kettle on the hanger assembly attached to the celling of
your Econo 8. Finally, make sure to plug the power cord into the power receptacle located on the celling
of your popper.

CARE AND CLEANING
KETTLE
1. Each time you finish a series of popping, allow the kettle to cool down and wipe
the outside of the kettle with a soft cloth to remove any oil drippings left behind.
2. After you finish popping for the day, allow the kettle to cool until it is not too hot
to handle, but still warm.
3. Unplug the kettle and remove it from the machine.
4. With a cloth, wipe out the inside of the kettle, kettle lid, crossbar, outside and
underneath of the kettle.
NOTE: DO NOT soak the kettle in water. This will cause damage to the electrical
components and will void your warranty.
CABINET
Cleaning the cabinet of your machine is easy. Take a clean cloth and wipe excess grease from the glass.
Wipe the outside of the machine also.
NOTE: Never use a glass or plastic cleaner that contains ammonia. It will crack the plastic on the machine.
