INST ALLA TION

Your new Antique Popcorn Machine is completely assembled. Remove all packing material and
tape before starting operations. If you have ordered a popcorn wagon, it is shipped in two sections.
After unpacking, set the top section onto a base or wagon.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Standard voltage for all domestic machines covered by this manual is 120 volt, 60 cycle, single
phase, A.C. current.

OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS

CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

There are three switches on the popper.

LIGHT AND WARMER SWITCH

Turns on heat lamp and strip heater under the corn pan.

KETTLE MOTOR SWITCH

Turns on motor which drives the kettle agitator shaft.

KETTLE HEA T SWITCH

Turns on heat elements inside the kettle.

AMOUNT OF POPCORN AND OIL

The Gay 90's Antique Whiz Bang is equipped with a 12 oz. corn measure cup and a 4 oz. oil
measure cup.

We recommend flavored and colored coconut oil. Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresh
longer. Coconut oil does not leave the black deposits in your kettle like other oils.

CORN CHARGE - 12 ounces
OIL CHARGE - 4 ounches
FLAVACOL (Seasoning Salt) - 1½ to 2 teaspoons

POPPING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches "ON".

2. Make test pop with 3 kernels of corn and 1 oz. of popping corn. When kernels pop,
you are ready.

3. Load full corn and oil charge, plus Flavacol seasoning salt into the kettle.

4. When corn has popped, dump the kettle.

5. Repeat the cycle - start with #3. Always pop 3 to 5 batches for the best popcorn.

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 saves electricity, since there is plenty of heat in
the kettle, and also helps eliminate smoke and odor after you have stopped popping.

CARE AND CLEANING

Disconnect main electrical power supply cord before cleaning to
eliminate the possibility of electrical shock.

Each time you finish a series of poppings, wipe the outside of the kettle with a soft cloth to remove
any oil drippage on the outside of the kettle. Don't let it BURN ON. After you finish popping for the
day , let the kettle cool until it is not too hot to handle, but still warm. Unplug the kettle and remove it
from the machine. With a cloth, wipe out the inside of the kettle, the kettle lids, the kettle crossbar,
and the outside of the kettle and underneath.

Cleaning the cabinet of your machine is easy - take a clean cloth and first wipe excess grease from
the glass. Wipe the outside of the machine too. Use any glass cleaner that is recommended for
cutting grease (NO ammonia). We find a wax cleaner to be good for cleaning the aluminum exterior
of your machine. Remove the old maid pan, empty and wipe clean.

REPLACING BROKEN GLASS

Should you accidentally break a panel of glass, it can be replaced very easily without
dissassembling the popper.

1.Remove all loose pieces of glass.

2.Remove all vinyl strips from around the glass to be replaced. To do this, start the vinyl strips
out of the channels with a knife point or similar tool. Always start at a corner. When enough
vinyl protrudes, grasp it with the fingers and carefully pull it out. Set it aside as it must be
reused.

3.Carefully remove the rest of the broken glass.

4.Apply decals to the new glass panel.

5.Maneuver the new glass into position. Try not to
let the glass slip down into the opening
in the extrusion from which the vinyl was re
moved. The glass should set on the small
ledge as shown in the illustration below. If the
glass does slip down into the opening, it will
be necessary to raise the glass. Use suction
cups, or a similar device.

6.Replace the vinyl, starting at the bottom edge of
the glass. The vinyl is easily installed by
starting at one corner and working it into the
channel inch by inch. Apply pressure on the
vinyl at point "A" as shown in the illustration to
force it into the channel. A dull blunt object
such as the eraser end of a pencil or a small
round piece of wood are excellent tools.
