Popping Corn
This section describes instructions for popping Standard (salted popcorn).
Your new popper is equipped with a corn, salt, and oil measure. 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.
Ingredient amounts for popping Standard Popcorn:
For best results use Mega-Pop® 12 oz. premeasured pouches (Item# 2839).
Popping Standard (Salted) Popcorn
1. Turn the Lights/Warmer, Kettle Heat and Kettle Motor Switches ON.
2. To determine when the kettle is ready to pop corn (about 4 minutes), test pop three
kernels of corn and one ounce (30 ml) of popping oil. When the kernels pop, the kettle
is ready for use.
3. Lift the kettle lid and load the Mega-Pop® premeasured popcorn and oil pouch into
kettle, or pour in the popcorn and Flavacol, then add oil in the premeasured amounts
specified above. Close lid.
4. When the corn has finished popping, gently dump the popcorn.
5. On the final kettle of corn, 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 helps eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue that remains after
popping has stopped.
6. When finished popping, make sure KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches are
turned OFF.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!

Daily Kettle Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION: A hot kettle will cause burns if you touch it with your hand. Allow kettle to cool
at least 1 hour before attempting to clean. DO NOT use ice or water to cool
down a hot kettle! Severe kettle damage will result!
1. When cool, wipe outside of kettle with a clean, soft cloth. DO NOT use oven cleaners or
abrasive materials as they will damage the kettle.
2. Every night, mix Gold Medal’s Heat’n Kleen solution (Item No. 2095), 2 tablespoons
per gallon of water. It is not necessary to use the entire gallon at once; only use
enough to fill the kettle 1/2 inch deep.
3. Turn kettle heat ON. When water starts to boil, turn kettle heat OFF.
4. Allow to cool at least 1 hour, then dump solution into a bucket and wipe inside of
kettle with a clean cloth. Make sure all solution goes into the bucket; do not spill any in
the interior of machine.
For an extra dirty kettle, the process may be repeated; or, after turning kettle heat
OFF, allow solution to sit in kettle overnight. The next morning, dump solution into a
bucket and wipe inside of kettle with a clean cloth.
5. With unit OFF and unplugged, wipe kettle lead cord with a clean SLIGHTLY damp cloth.
