Electrical Requirements

This product requires a properly-grounded 120 volt supply with a 15 amp
circuit. The H-D Metallic Flames Popcorn Machine has a current draw of
10amps. (Export voltage is 230VAC.) We recommend this machine be
plugged directly into a dedicated outlet. Extension cords may create a
safety hazard and reduce its performance. Be sure the outlet accepts a
three (3) prong grounded plug. DO NOT use a three (3) prong to a two
(2) prong adapter.

Unpacking

We carefully inspect each product during assembly and after completion to adhere to strict quality guidelines, and packs it securely
to ensure safe delivery to each of our customers. Be sure to carefully remove all packing material and adhesive before any operation.
Please examine your product to guarantee all equipment has arrived, complete and in good condition.

Popping

1. Turn on two switches. Located in chassis.

2. Allow kettle to warm for approximately 5 minutes.

3. Place one measure of oil in kettle (1/6-1/4 cup). Immediately add one measure of raw popcorn (4 oz.) plus seasoning salt.

Pull lid closed to prevent stray kernels. (Lid is held in place by magnet directly above the kettle.)

4. While corn is popping, keep front operator doors slightly ajar to prevent fogging. Keep hopper door at “out” position to aid
in catching stray popcorn.

5. Allow corn to pop until popping ceases, usually when 3-4 seconds lapse between pops. Then pour remaining popped corn
from kettle by rotating handle clockwise 1/3 turn and pulling downward.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 for additional batches.

7. Turn KETTLE switch to OFF position when finished preparing popcorn; POWER or LIGHT switch may remain ON to display
and heat popcorn. KETTLE WILL BE HOT! Please be sure to avoid direct contact with the kettle during the popping process!

Kettle Care

The exclusive popcorn kettle, with patented heater arrangement, consists of a double (two part) unit for maximum
efficiency at minimum expense with low-cost maintenance.

NOTE: To avoid heavy build-up of deposits that require specialized cleaning, please follow these instructions:

1. Wipe, with soft towel or cloth, excess oil from exterior and interior of kettle as often as possible.

2. Excessive or careless use of popping oil may result in kettle damage.

3. Always be sure to turn KETTLE switch to OFF when popping is complete.

4. For heavily carbonized kettles, We recommend the use of Kettle Cleaning Kit (Paragon part #1075).
NEVER USE WATER ON ANY PART OF THE KETTLE!

Kettle Removal

1. Make sure unit is NOT connected to a power supply. UNPLUG power cord.

2. Unplug the kettle pigtail from the socket located in the chassis of the machine (ceiling).

3. Pull the clip off the hinge pin.

4. Pull the hinge pin out of the kettle hanger to free kettle.
