A certified electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation and install any supplied
receptacle. We recommend this equipment be on a dedicated and protected circuit. Failure to wire properly
will void the warranty and may result in damage to the machine. It is Gold Medal Products Co.’s
recommendation that this machine be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The use of extension cords is not
recommended due to safety concerns, and may cause sacrificed and/or reduced performance. Make sure
cord is located to prevent a trip hazard or unit upset.
Before You Plug In Machine
1. Make sure all machine switches are OFF before plugging equipment into receptacle.
2. Make sure wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the power supply
cord.
3. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician inspect
the outlet and correct if necessary.
4. DO NOT use a grounded to un-grounded receptacle adapter (where applicable).
5. Install unit in a level position.
CAUTION
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Gold Medal Products Co.,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

POPPING CORN
AMOUNT OF POPCORN AND OIL
Your new popper is equipped with a corn, salt, and oil measure. We recommend flavored and
colored coconut oil. Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresh longer and does not leave black
deposits in your kettle like other oils. Use only top quality fresh hybrid popcorn from reputable
suppliers.
Corn charge – 12 oz./14 oz.
Oil charge – 3.5 oz./4.2 oz.
Flavacol – 14.7 cc (measure included with accessory kit)
*for best results use mega-pop premeasured pouches (item # 2839)
POPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switch ON.
2. Make test pop with 3 kernels of corn and 1 oz. (30 ml) of oil.
3. Load pre-measured popcorn and oil pouch into kettle, or add ingredients in amounts specified
above.
4. When corn has popped, dump kettle.
5. Repeat cycle starting with Item #3; always pop 3-5 batches for best popcorn.
When you are finished popping, make sure “KETTLE HEAT” and “KETTLE MOTOR”
switches are turned “OFF”.
NEVER LEAVE THE KETTLE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN.

WARNING

Good sanitation practice demands that all food preparation equipment be cleaned regularly (only use non-
toxic, food grade cleaners). A clean looking, well-kept machine is one of the best ways of advertising your
product.
Note: It is extremely important to follow all cleaning procedures, otherwise parts damage and
equipment failure will result. The warranty does not cover parts that are damaged due to
improper cleaning.
Daily Kettle Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION: A hot kettle will cause burns if you touch it with your hand. Allow kettle to cool at least 1
hour before attempting to clean. DO NOT use ice or water to cool down a hot kettle!
Severe kettle damage will result!
1. When cool, wipe outside of kettle with a clean, soft cloth. DO NOT use oven cleaners or abrasive
materials as they will damage the kettle.
2. Every night, mix Gold Medal’s Heat’n Kleen solution (Item No. 2095), 2 tablespoons per gallon of
water. It is not necessary to use the entire gallon at once; only use enough to fill the kettle 1/2
inch deep.
3. Turn kettle heat ON. When water starts to boil, turn kettle heat OFF.
4. Allow to cool at least 1 hour, then dump solution into a bucket and wipe inside of kettle with a
clean cloth. Make sure all solution goes into the bucket; do not spill any in the interior of
machine.
For an extra dirty kettle, the process may be repeated; or, after turning kettle heat OFF, allow
solution to sit in kettle overnight. The next morning, dump solution into a bucket and wipe inside
of kettle with a clean cloth.
5. With unit OFF and unplugged, wipe kettle lead cord with a clean SLIGHTLY damp cloth. DO NOT
get moisture into the kettle lead-in cord, severe damage will result.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Below are some common issues you may encounter, along with basic trouble shooting
steps to resolve them.
EXPERIENCING LONG POPPING CYCLES
If your pop cycle is longer than 4 minutes, it can be the result of several things:
A. LOW VOLTAGE - If the machine is operated on low voltage, this could cause the kettle
not to reach the proper operating temperature. Voltage must be at least 110v.
B. INADEQUATE SUPPLY LINES - Inadequately sized electrical supply lines, in addition to
being a fire hazard, would also prevent the kettle from reaching the proper operating
temperature. Check with a qualified electrician.
C. INFERIOR CORN - Inferior quality corn would result in longer popping cycles. Use only
top quality fresh hybrid popcorn from reputable suppliers. Even then, if you let your corn
pick up moisture or dry out, your popping cycles will be slower.
THE KETTLE DOES NOT HEAT
Before you go any further, make sure the kettle lead-in cord is plugged in.
A. KETTLE HEAT SWITCH - Check the voltage to and from the “KETTLE HEAT” switch,
and if the switch is defective, replace it. (Repair should only be performed by qualified
service personnel.)
THE MOTOR WILL NOT TURN AGITATOR
WARNING! If the kettle agitator shaft is not rotating, DO NOT pop corn. Adjust the clearance
between the kettle bottom and the stir blade to 1/32” (use a dime). Loosen the set screw in the
collars above and below the crossbar and adjust the agitator shaft as necessary. Then re-tighten the
set screws in the collars.
