INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Inspection of Shipment

Unpack all cartons and check thoroughly for any damage that may have occurred during transit.
Damage claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company.

Setup

Your new Popper is completely assembled and tested at the factory. Remove all packing material
and tape before starting operation.

The following power supply must be provided:

2408: 120 Volts, 1053 Watts, 60Hz,
2408EX: 230 Volts, 1053 Watts, 50Hz

DANGER

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.

Your electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation. 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 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.

Before You Plug In Machine

1. Make sure all machine switches are in the OFF position before plugging the equipment

into the receptacle.

2. Make sure the wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the

power supply cord.

3. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent

electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.

4. DO NOT use a grounded to un-grounded receptacle adapter.

5. Install the unit in a level position.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Each time you finish a series of popping, wipe the outside of the kettle with a soft cloth to

remove any oil drippings on the outside of the kettle.

CAUTION: The hot kettle will cause burns if you touch it with your hand. Allow the kettle
to cool for at least 1 hour before attempting to clean.

2. After you finish popping for the day, allow kettle to cool until it is not too hot to handle,

but still warm.

3. Unplug 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.

DO NOT place the kettle in water. This will cause damage to the electrical components
and will void your warranty.

5. 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: Ammonia cleaners will damage the plastic doors. Use only non-ammonia cleaners,

such as Gold Medal Watchdog Glass Cleaner (Item No. 2588).

DANGER

Machine must be properly grounded to prevent electrical
shock to personnel.
DO NOT immerse in water.
Always unplug the equipment before cleaning or servicing.

Good sanitation practice demands that all food cooking equipment be cleaned regularly. A clean
looking, well-kept machine is one of the best ways of advertising your product.
