CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTION

HEAT SWITCH

This rocker switch in the “ON” position energizes the heating elements in the bottom of the kettle.

MOTOR SWITCH

With this rocker switch in the “ON” position, the agitator motor will run continuously.

HEAT CONTROL

The machine comes from the factory preset at 280°F. If more or less heat is required, remove the silver hole
plug or cover plate located on the front panel of the control box. This will allow you to access the heat
control adjustment potentiometer. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the temperature, and
counter-clockwise to decrease.

To calibrate the heat control for corn treat, Fill the mixing bowl with a one inch depth of corn oil. Use an
accurate thermometer to measure the temperature of the oil in the mixing bowl. Turn the motor on to stir the
oil while it heats. When the oil reaches 280F slowly turn the potentiometer counter clockwise until the
buzzer sounds. If the buzzer sounds before the temperature reaches 280F, slowly turn the potentiometer
clockwise until the buzzer stops and continue to turn an additional 1/8 of turn.

Note: The sound of the buzzer always signals temperature cut-off.

CARE AND CLEANING

STEAM CLEANING

The easiest way to clean the kettle is to pour 8 ounces of water into the kettle while it is still hot. Place the
lid back on the kettle. Let it steam for approximately ten minutes. Remove the lid and dump out the water.
You will probably have to steam the kettle twice to remove all traces of product. Releasing the draw latch
makes the mixing drum easy to remove for cleaning. The mixing drum can be taken to the sink to clean.
The cabinet of your machine should be wiped cleaned daily; or more, depending on your usage.

NEW PADDLE & HUB SEAL KIT INSTALLATION

1. Unscrew the wing bolts and remove both mix paddles.

2. Remove the old hub seal assembly.

3. Clean the area around the center hub. Clean up all food and carbon residue.

4. Remove any burrs on the top edge of the center hub. Use a fine grit emery paper to lightly sand the
surface. If the burrs are not removed, damage may occur to the hub assembly during installation.

5. Lightly lubricate the center hub of the kettle with a small amount of vegetable oil to allow for easy
installation of the hub seal assembly.

6. Slide the hub seal assembly down the agitator shaft. Apply pressure to ease the assembly over the
center hub of the kettle until it seats properly. (See diagram below.)

7. After the hub seal assembly has been properly installed, place the new mix paddle on the bottom and
one existing paddle on the top of the agitator shaft.

8. Replace the wing bolts and finger tighten.
