CAUTION

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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. Vary 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.

DO NOT LEAVE THE KETTLE SWITCH "ON" (1) WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN USE.
DO NOT IMMERSE KETTLE IN WATER OR ALLOW WATER 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

ef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 non-abrasive 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 off 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.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

Contact the factory, a service representative or a local service company for service or required maintenance.
