OIL SYSTEM MASTER SWITCH .
Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch -supplies power to the oil pump (either the
Bag-in-a-Box or Bucket Pump model). Reference the Instruction Manual for the oil
dispense unit.
Bag-in-a-Box Model: Oil System Master Switch ON, provides power to the oil dispense
unit, activates the warmer/blower, and the heated line kit (ifequipped).
Note: Coconut oil will congeal at temperatures belowapproximately 76°F (24°C). For
machines used daily, leave the Oil System MasterSwitch on at all times and keep
the cabinet doors closed to prevent the oil from becoming solid. Ifthe machinehas
notbeen used for several days, turn the Oil System Master Switch ON the night
before it is expected to be used.
Bucket Pump Model: Oil System Master Switch ON, activates the 30 watt heating
element on the bucket pump to keep the coconut oil liquid.
RED OIL DISPENSE PUSH BUTTON (PB) SWITCH &GREEN OIL LIGHT
Red Push Button Switch -dispenses apredetermined amount of oil into the kettle when
pressed. The Oil System Master Switch must be ON for the Oil Dispense PB Switch to activate.
The Oil Light on the popper will light continuously when oil pump is dispensing. Reference
the Instruction Manual for the oil dispense unit.
During calibration of the oil dispense unit, the indicator light (Oil Light or Load/Dump
Light) is used to indicate when the oil dispense unit is in program mode.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Two mini Circuit Breakers are located on the control panel, to protect the popper unit from
overload condition. If unit is plugged in, but the kettle motor or oil system does not come
on when activated, then the circuit breaker(s) may be tripped. (Reference the
Troubleshooting section of this manual).
TEMPERATURE/CYCLE COUNT (Digital Display and RED Push Button Switch)
The Digital Display shows the popping temperature of the kettle and number of popcorn
cycles completed by the unit. Set the Digital Display to show the cycle count. The
temperature portion is for troubleshooting purposes for qualified service personnel

Program the E-Z Set Timer
The oil dispense volume is set using the programmable timer on the electronic control board ofthe
popper, or by usingthe internal timer ofthe oil dispense unit (varies by oil dispense model used).
Ifusing aNO TIMER oil unit: 2timer settings are available on the controlboard ofthe popper.
Ifusing aDUAL TIMER oil unit: 2internal timersettings are available on the oil dispense unit.
Follow the steps below to program the EZ-Set Timer to dispense the oil amount needed to pop a
batch ofpopcorn. Itis recommended to setthe oilvolumeto 30% ofthe raw popcorn charge used.
To program,usethe ?Red? OilDispense PB Switch (Oil PB Switch) and the Oil System Master Switch
located on the control panel ofthe popper.
Note: Take volume measurements from oil delivery tube located in popper above the
kettle. Allow kettle to cool completely prior to taking volume measurements.
Priming the Unit:
1. Turn Oil System Master Switch ON.
2. Holdacup under the oil delivery tube in popper, PUSH and RELEASE the Oil PB
Switch to START dispensing oil.
As soon as oil flows steady, turn Oil System Master Switch OFF; unit is now primed.
Wait 30 seconds to allow oil to settle/drain before programming.
Programming the Unit:
4. Hold down Oil PB Switch and turn Oil System Master Switch ON, continue to hold Oil
PB Switch for 5seconds until the indicator light (OIL Light or LOAD/DUMP Light) on
popper starts to blink ON-OFF, then release switch; unit now in program mode.
Hold ameasuring cup under the oil delivery tube in popper; PUSH and RELEASE the
Oil PB Switch to START oil flow.
When correct amount of oil has been dispensed, PUSH and RELEASE Oil PB Switch
again to STOP oil flow. The Oil PB Switch may be pushed ON/OFF as many times as
needed to finalize (?top off?) the oil amount.
Turn Oil System Master Switch OFF, then back ON to SAVE the setting. Unit will now :
dispense the ?programmed? amount of oil when the Oil PB Switch is pushed. The Oil
Light on the popper will light continuously when oil pump is dispensing.
8. Wait 30 seconds to allow oil to settle/drain, then re-check the oil quantity.
Dual Timer Note: Units with two oil timer settings available must be set for Flexi-Pop, if
available on the unit (Flexi-Pop option not available on Cornado units). Otherwise, the
two settings must be used for Salt/Sweet. Select one corn amount and program the first
timer; then select the other corn amount and program the second timer. (Pumps with
asingle timer will only remember the last setting programmed.)
Manual Mode (Oil only dispenses when the Oil PB Switch is held IN):
OPTIONAL -Use to manually dispense oil, or for cleaning. Follow Step 4then skip to Step 6.
To use atimer settingafterusing Manual Mode, the unit MUST be reprogrammed.

Popping Corn Instructions
This section describes popping instructions forSalted Popcorn and Sweet Popcorn (ifequipped with
Salt-Sweet option). Flexi-Pop option (ifequipped) popsafull sizeor reduced size batch ofpopcorn.
Remember (for all popping modes): When the Load/Dump Light comes ON, and Audible
Signal (if enabled) is sounding, one of the following actions should be taken:
eLoad the corn and oil or
eDump the popped corn from the kettle or
eTurn OFF the Kettle Heat ifyou are finished popping corn.
The popper is equipped with acorn, salt, and oil measure. We recommend flavored and colored
coconut oil. Popcorn popped in coconutoil stays fresh longer and does not leave black deposits in
the kettle like otheroils. Use onlytop quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers.
Popping Salted (Standard) Popcorn
Use corn measure provided (ex: for 32 oz. Kettle, use 32 oz. corn)
Raw P:°
opcorn Charge (for Flexi-Pop use the reduced batch size)
Recommended Oil Volume:|Oil volume is 30% of corn amount (ex: for 32 oz. corn, use 9.6 02. oil)
Flavacol (Salt) Amount:|Use small Flavacol scoop provided (for Flexi-Pop use ahalf scoop)
Note: When using coconut oil, be sure the oil is liquid. As acheck, dispense oil into a
measuring cup first, then use that oil for the first popping cycle.
1. Turn all switches ON; set Flexi-Pop Switch (if equipped) to desired batch size; set
Salt-Sweet Switch (if equipped) to Salt mode.
2. Kettle is ready to pop (about 5-8 minutes), when the yellow Load/Dump Light and
Audible Signal (beeper, if enabled) turn ON.
3. Lift kettle lid and pour in pre-measured popcorn and Flavacol; close lid.
4. Press the ?Red? Oil Dispense PB Switch to add oil (if equipped), or add oil manually
before closing lid (light and beeper will turn OFF in approx. 20 seconds).
5. When the light and beeper come on again, gently dump the kettle.
Note: The signal ?To Dump? was factory set based on Gold Medal popcorn and oil. If,
after 3consecutive batches, the signal occurs before or after popping has
stopped, then the signal timing can be adjusted by aqualified service person
(reference Electronic Temperature Control section).
Popping Tip: On final batch, turn Kettle HeatSwitch OFFjust as lids are forced open
bythe popping corn (kettle has plenty ofheat to finish popping). This helps
eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue remaining in kettle. With the Heat
Switch OFF, the light and beeperwill notactivate forthe lastbatch.
6. When finished popping, turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches OFF.
NEVER LEAVETHE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!
Units with an auto kettle heat shut off feature will automatically shut kettle heat OFF after
15 min. ofidle time (no popcornpopped).To restartheating,cycle the HeatSwitch OFF-ON.
