claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

2451: 120V, 875W, 60Hz
2451EX: 230V, 875W, 50Hz
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 Master Pop and Kettle were adjusted, inspected, and tested before it left the factory. Remove all
packing before setting up your new Master Pop. Hang the kettle on the hanger assembly attached to the
celling of your Master Pop. Finally, make sure to plug the power cord of your kettle 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.
