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

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controls and Their Functions
LIGHT AND WARMER SWITCH – Turns on the heat to the bottom corn pan and heat light.
KETTLE MOTOR SWITCH – Turns on the motor which drives kettle agitator shaft.
KETTLE HEAT SWITCH – Turns on the heat element in the popcorn kettle.
Amount of Popcorn and Oil
Your new popper is equipped with a corn, salt, and oil measure cup. We recommend flavored and
colored coconut oil. Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresh longer and does not leave black
deposits in your kettle like other oils. Use only top quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers.
Corn charge – 12oz – 14oz.
Oil charge – 3.5oz. – 4.2oz.
Flavacol – 1-1/2 Tablespoon
For best results use mega-pop premeasured pouches (Item# 2839)
Popping Instructions
1. Turn both the kettle heat and kettle motor switches “ON.”.
2. Test pop three kernels of corn and one ounce of popping oil. When the kernels pop,
the kettle is ready for use.
3. Load both a full corn/oil charge and Flavacol seasoning salt into the kettle. Close the
lids.
4. When the corn has finished popping, gently dump the kettle.
5. Repeat the cycle, starting with step number 3, until the desired amount of popcorn has
been achieved. Always pop 3 to 5 consecutive batches for the best popcorn.
6. On the final kettle of corn, it is a good idea to turn the kettle heat switch “Off” just as
the lids are forced open by the popping corn. This procedure saves electricity since the
kettle has plenty of heat and eliminates smoke/odor from any oil residue that remains
after you have stopped popping.
