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.

DIGITAL HEAT CONTROL

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 Digital Heat Control Adjustment/Calibration section for adjusting the Product Cook Temperature.

D Models: 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.

DT Models: Dual Timer units. The pre-alarm sounds the buzzer 40°F before Set Point Temperature; alerting operator that flavor can be added to the mix (the kettle will continue to heat the mixture). The second buzzer sounds kettle heat shutoff at a Product Cook Temperature of 280°F. Each buzzer only sounds for 10-15 seconds.

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: D Models - The sound of the buzzer signals kettle heat shut-off.

DT Models – The sound of the second 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 Adjustment), 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.)

Karmel King Model No. 2620D, 2621D, 2630D, 2631D Digital 2620DT, 2621DT, 2630DT, 2631DT

5. Set the digital control set point temperature to 400°F.

6. Turn the Motor Only Switch ON to stir the oil while it heats.

7. When the oil reaches 335°F, note the temperature displayed on the digital control and

make that the Set Point Temperature.

Note: The Set Point Temperature will be higher than the product temperature.

Refer to the candy thermometer for accurate product temperature.

8. Allow oil to cool below 300°F, then repeat Step 5 to check the buzzer sounds at 335°F.

9. The unit is now calibrated for the heat control buzzer to sound at a finished product

temperature of 280°F.

Caution: Allow hot oil to cool below 140°F before attempting to drain.

Making Carmel Corn

Instructions for Making Carmel Corn (Mark 20)

Always remember, leave the lid on the kettle during the first part of the batch. Once steam starts to “roll-up” from underneath the lid, then carefully remove lid for remainder of the cooking cycle.

CAUTION: Beware of rising steam; keep face and hands clear of rising steam.

1. Turn Heat/Motor Switch ON (DO NOT turn on the Motor Only Switch).

2. Add (4) 22 ounce packages of Gold Medal Caramel Corn Mix (Item No. 2094), 16 cups of

granulated sugar (brown or white), and 32-48 ounces of water (add water last).

Note: When using Gold Medal “One Step” Carmel Corn Mix, DO NOT add granulated

sugar.

3. Turn Motor Only Switch ON and mix for approximately one minute, then turn Motor

Only Switch OFF. (With the Heat/Motor Switch ON, the motor will run for 30 seconds of every minute.)

4. Add 4 sticks (16 ounces) of coconut oil or vegetable oil. Put on the lid.

Note: Once steam starts to “roll-up” from underneath the lid, then carefully remove

the lid for the remainder of the cooking cycle.

5. Allow mix to cook until the buzzer sounds at 280°F product temperature.

Dual Timer Units: When the first buzzer sounds, add flavor mixture (if desired), the unit will continue to heat until the second buzzer sounds at 280°F product temperature.

Note: Product temperature is measured with an accurate candy thermometer.

(Reference the Heat Control Adjustment section.)

6. Turn Heat/Motor Switch OFF.

7. Turn Motor Only Switch ON.

8. Add 20 gallons of pre-popped corn.

9. Allow corn to mix for approximately 10 seconds with the kettle in the upright position.

10. Move kettle to the mix position and spray 20-30 “squirts” of GOLD Medal Free-N-Easy

(Item No. 2250) for proper corn separation, and mix popcorn until thoroughly coated.

11. Dump the caramel corn into the cooling pan, and mix/separate the caramel corn using

two popcorn scoops.

12. After dumping caramel corn, turn Motor Only Switch OFF.

13. Allow the finished product to cool before packaging.

During normal operation, sugar build-up will occur in the kettle. The build-up must be removed by steaming out the kettle every 3-4 batches, and especially before the machine is turned off for the day. If making single batches, with the unit turned off between batches, the kettle must be steamed out after each batch has been completed. Follow the Proper Kettle Cleaning Procedure in the Care and Cleaning section of this manual.
