OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clean the machine thoroughly before use and check for any nuts or bolts that may have loosened
during shipping of the merchandise.
2. Plug the machine into a properly grounded 120 volt power supply.
3. Install a 50 watt or smaller light bulb in the socket in the chassis (not necessary for operation). For
best results use a 50 watt R20 mini flood bulb.
4. Turn on the “POWER” switch.
5. Adjust “DECK TEMPERATURE” thermostat to desired temperature and the warming element in the
base will be activated.
6. Turn on “LIGHT” switch and the interior lamp will come on.
7. Turn on the “KETTLE” switch to activate heat to the kettle and wait approximately 5 minutes to allow
the kettle to get up to operating temperature.
8. Turn on “MOTOR” switch and the agitating motor will be activated.
9. Using the Lid Lift Handle to open the lid, place 1 ¾cup of raw popcorn kernels, ½cup of cooking oil
and 1 ½teaspoons of seasoning salt into the kettle and lower the kettle lid. (use Benchmark USA part
# 42004 – Popcorn measure kit)
10. Allow the corn to pop until the popping ceases (3 seconds between pops) then dump the kettle by
pulling downward on the handle.
11. For additional batches repeat steps 9 & 10. It will not be necessary to wait 5 minutes since the kettle
will already be up to operating temperature.
12. After popping the final batch, turn off the “MOTOR” and “KETTLE” switch. The “LIGHT” and
“POWER” switch may be left on during serving to keep popcorn fresh and warm.
13. Allow kettle to cool and then with a damp cloth, wipe any excess oil from the inside and outside of the
kettle to prevent burned on oil stains. Use caution as the kettle may still be HOT!.
KETTLE CARE
CAUTION: NEVER SUBMERGE THE KETTLE IN ANY LIQUID! IT WILL SHORT OUT THE
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS INSIDE OF IT AND VOID THE WARRANTY!
1. Always turn off the “KETTLE” switch after popping the final batch of a session. Leaving it on will
burn any residue oil that is left in the kettle.
2. For routine cleaning: After popping the final batch of a session, use a damp cloth to wipe the excess oil
from the interior and exterior of the kettle.
3. Benchmark USA kettles are anodized to create an easy cleaning, non-stick surface. However, if excess
oil is not removed it will eventually carbonize on the surface. For heavily built-up carbon removal it is
recommended to use (Benchmark USA part # 43001 – kettle cleaning kit).
CABINET CARE
Always unplug the machine from the power supply before cleaning!
1. The Stainless steel bottom tray, old-maid drawer and drop door are removable for easy cleaning in
a sink or dishwasher. Use a mild detergent and water.
