VII. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. To make a batch of Caramel Corn, proceed a follow :
1. Spray with Non-Stick the bottom, inside walls, mixing blades and stationary
bars that are on the inside walls of the mixer. This serves to keep the mixer
clean and also helps the caramel corn to separate into individual kernels after
being coated.
2. Put the contents of 1 bag of Cretors Mix and 2oz. to 4oz of water into the mixer and follow
the mix instructions.
3. Turn on the switch marked HE T. Turn on the switch marked MOTOR briefly until the
mix is distributed uniformly over the bottom of the mixer.
4. Set the Temperature Controller on the side of the cabinet to 325°F. It may be necessary to
adjust the temperature higher or lower to get the color and flavor you desire.
5. When the mix reaches the set point, the heat will automatically turn off which will also
turn out the pilot light and sound the buzzer. t this time turn off the heat switch, turn
on the motor switch and add 1 measuring can (approximately 1 lb, 10oz.) of popped corn.
6. When the corn is well coated. Spray with Non-Stick to separate.
7. Corn must be sprayed with Non-Stick in order for the individual kernels to separate.

8. When the corn appears to be separated and free in the mixer, dump the batch. Never run
the mixer longer than necessary as this will break up the corn.
9. Turn the mixer motor off and dump the mixer by lifting up on the handle. Use the
spatula supplied with the machine to assist in emptying the caramel corn from the mixer.
10. On succeeding batches with a hot pan first turn on the heat and add 4 ounces of water.
When the water stops boiling, add one bag of mix and the amount of water recommended
by the mix instructions and complete as above.
CAUTION! lways turn off the HE T switch before adding the popped corn. fter
the last batch is made and the mixer has cooled, spray Non-Stick into the mixer and
leave it until next use. This will prevent any caramel from hardening underneath the
blade hub causing it to stick and damage the motor drive. Never leave heat on in
mixer when machine is not in use. Be sure to turn off all switches when closing
machine at night.
B. Temperature Control
The temperature at which the elements will turn off and the buzzer will sound is determined by
the setting of the Temperature Controller, P/N 13102. To raise or lower the temperature, push the
up and down buttons on the front of the controller.
VIII. SANITATION INSTRUCTIONS
Be certain the machine is turned off and power is unplugged before sanitizing this
machine unless a specific cleaning procedure requires power to the machine. Failure
to do so could result in injury or death.
Do not clean heated surfaces until they have been given sufficient time to cool. Failure
to do so may result in serious burns or scalds.
The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily with warm water. When cleaning, do not fill the
mixer with water more than two inches below the top of the mixer blades. The mixer heat may be
used to heat the cleaning water. With the top on, allow the water to steam. This will clean the
inside of the mixer kettle.
CAUTION: Do not boil the kettle dry. This will only make the cleanup more difficult.
Running the mixer blades after adding the water will speed up the cleaning operation. In the
event any carbon has formed on the pan bottom, it may be easily removed by using C.K.C powder
as directed.
