GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

The motor air intake hole located on top of the machine must be clear of any obstructions.

DO NOT COVER THIS AIR VENT HOLE AS SERIOUS MOTOR DAMAGE WILL RESULT.

Make sure the corn drawer is in place on the machine before starting the popping cycle. With
all switches in the "OFF" (0) position, proceed in the following sequence to pop corn:

1. Turn "ON" (1) the corn warming switch / lamp.

2. Turn "ON" (1) the kettle / motor switch. Allow six or seven minutes to pre-heat the kettle.
Thermostat adjustments should not be necessary as it has been preset at the factory for
the correct popping temperature.

3. Corn and oil measuring cups are supplied with your machine. Pour a level measuring cup
of oil (two ounces) in kettle. Add 6 ounces of raw corn for the 39 Series models or 8 ounces
of raw corn for the 86S Series models and 1/2 teaspoon of popcorn salt. V ary the amount
of salt and oil to suit taste. If desired, salt may be added after the corn is popped.

4. When the corn stops popping (about 2 1/2 minutes), dump the kettle immediately by turning
the handle clockwise approximately 90 degrees to release latch. Recharge as quickly as
possible. Screen out unpopped kernels over the perforated section of the corn pan.

5. Turn the kettle switch off (0) when the desired amount of popping is completed.

CAUTION

DO NOT LEA VE THE KETTLE SWITCH "ON" (1) WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN
USE.

DO NOT IMMERSE KETTLE IN WA TER OR ALLOW W A TER TO COME IN CONTACT
WITH THE HEATING ELEMENT.

POPPING CORN IN DRY KETTLE IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
KEEPING THE POPPING UNIT CLEAN

After each popping period, wipe the inside and outside of the kettle while it is warm (not hot)
with a clean cloth. This is important to keep salt, seasoning, oil from forming a carbonized
material which not only lowers popping effi ciency but can cause excessive smoking or damage
the kettle. For retaining the high luster on the stainless steel kettle shell and lids, use a non­abrasive standard stainless steel cleaner when the kettle is cold. Use a damp cloth and a
warm mild soap solution to clean the clear glass and plastic surfaces.

TO REMOVE KETTLE:

Allow kettle to cool or use heat insulated gloves to remove a hot kettle. Turn of f the kettle switch.
Disconnect the twist lock cap at the end of the kettle conduit, turn kettle handle clockwise 90
degrees to unlatch the kettle. Remove the hitch pin clip from the kettle hinge pin, hold the
kettle and pull out the hinge pin. The kettle can now be removed from the unit. Do not place
the kettle in water as this will damage the electrical assembly.
