Electrical Requirements
The following power supply must be provided (reference unit Data Plate for Wattage requirement):
120 V~, 60 Hz
DANGER
Machine must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock to personnel.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury, or death.
Make sure all machine switches are in the OFF position before plugging the
equipment into the receptacle. Keep cord and plug off the ground and away
from moisture. Always unplug the equipment before cleaning or servicing.
DO NOT immerse any part of this equipment in water.
DO NOT use a water jet or excessive water when cleaning.
008_012221
A certified electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation and install any
supplied receptacle (reference unit Data Plate for model specific Volts AC, Hertz, and Wattage
requirements). 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 certified 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controls and Their Functions
KETTLE HEAT SWITCH
ON/OFF lighted rocker switch - supplies power to the heating element in the kettle. The
green switch light ON indicates there is power to the kettle heating element.
KETTLE MOTOR SWITCH
ON/OFF lighted rocker switch - supplies power to the kettle agitator motor. The kettle
motor must always be on when there is popcorn (popped or un-popped) in the kettle.
LIGHTS/WARMER SWITCH
ON/OFF lighted rocker switch - supplies power to the interior cabinet light, corn pan heat
element, and dispense button.
DISPENSE BUTTON
Lighted Push Button Switch – powers the coil assembly for dispensing popcorn.
POWEROFF CONTROL
The control automatically turns the kettle heat off after 15 minutes of idle time (no popcorn
popped). This prevents the kettle heat element and thermostat from cycling OFF-ON if the
Kettle Heat Switch is left on—it saves power and extends the kettle element/thermostat life.
•When the Kettle Heat Switch is turned ON, and the kettle thermostat switches OFF,
the control’s 15 minute timer starts—the timer resets after each batch of popcorn.
•The green Kettle Heat Switch light blinks OFF-ON to indicate kettle auto shut-OFF.
•To restart kettle heating, cycle the Kettle Heat Switch OFF-ON.

Operating Instructions
This unit is easy to use and provides a convenient, sanitary way for customers to self-serve
portions of popcorn.
1. Turn Lights/Warmer Switch ON (turns on display lights, crisper, and supplies power to
the dispense button).
2. Load unit with popcorn (maximum of 6 batches in
cabinet), see popping instructions below.
3. Lock the popper doors—helps prevent
product tampering (see image).
4. Hold a container under the dispense chute to
receive popcorn; press dispense button for
desired amount of corn.
Popping Corn Instructions
The 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
the kettle like other oils. Use only top quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers.
Raw Popcorn Charge: Use corn measure provided (ex: for 8 oz. Kettle, use 8 oz. corn)
Recommended Oil Volume:
Oil volume is approx. 30% of corn amount (ex: for 8 oz. corn, use 2.6 oz. oil)
Flavacol (Salt) Amount: Use small Flavacol scoop provided.
Premeasure all ingredients (adjust as needed for desired taste), or for best results use the 8 oz.
Mega-Pop®premeasured popcorn and oil pouch, Item No. 2838 (or pouch made for your kettle size).
1. Turn all switches ON.
2. To determine when kettle is ready to pop corn (about 4 minutes), test pop three
kernels of corn in one ounce (30 ml) of popping oil. When kernels pop, kettle is ready.
3. Lift kettle lid, pour in popcorn and Flavacol, then add oil; close lid.
4. When corn has finished popping, gently dump the popcorn. (To minimize unpopped
kernels, allow corn to finish popping before dumping the kettle.)
Popping Tip: On final batch, turn Kettle Heat Switch OFF just as lids are forced open
by the popping corn (kettle has plenty of heat to finish popping). This helps
eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue remaining in kettle.
5. When finished popping, turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches OFF.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!
Units with a kettle heat auto shut-off feature will automatically shut kettle heat OFF after
15 min. of idle time (no popcorn popped). To restart heating, cycle the Heat Switch OFF-ON.

Troubleshooting
Issue
Possible Cause
Solution
No Power to the Unit
A. No Power to the Unit
A. Make sure the unit’s power cord is plugged in.
Kettle Does Not Heat
A. Power to the Kettle
A. Make sure kettle lead-in cord is plugged in and
twisted to lock into the kettle receptacle.
B. Kettle Heat Switch
B. Have a qualified service person check the
voltage to and from the Kettle Heat Switch; if
switch is defective, replace it.
C. PowerOff Control

heat will automatically shut OFF after 15
minutes of idle time (no popcorn popped).
The small green neon light in the Kettle Heat
Switch will blink OFF-ON to indicate the kettle
has been automatically turned OFF.
To restart kettle heating, cycle the Heat Switch
OFF-ON. Reference the Controls and Their
Functions section of this manual.
D. Heating Element

could cause the kettle not to reach the proper
operating temperature. Check with a qualified
electrician.

B. Inadequately sized electrical supply lines or
use of extension cord, 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

popping cycles. Use only top quality hybrid
popcorn from reputable suppliers. Even then,
if you let your corn pick up moisture or dry
out, your popping cycles will be slow.
Kettle Agitator Shaft not
Rotating
If the kettle agitator shaft is
not rotating, DO NOT pop
corn.
A. Kettle Motor Switch

Replacing Broken Glass
Broken glass panels can be easily replaced. Gold Medal Products Co. does not ship glass. It can be
obtained from a local glass shop, always purchase tempered glass.
GLASS DIMENSIONS (Height x Width x Thickness)
Front Glass
22.375” x 16.938” x .125” (568.3 mm x 430.2 mm x 3.2 mm)
Side Glass (2 pieces)
22.375 x 14.938” x .125” (568.3 mm x 379.4 mm x 3.2 mm)
1. Turn machine OFF, unplug unit and allow it to cool before attempting to replace glass.
2. Remove all loose pieces of glass (popper units: kettle may be removed to change glass).
3. Place a bungee (or large rubber band) around the unit to help hold the corner posts in
place, then remove dome.
4. Remove all rigid glass channels from around glass to be replaced, set channels aside
for reuse.
Note: The rigid channels may be wedged in the corner posts or top and bottom glass
extrusions and must be removed before new glass can be installed.
5. Carefully remove the rest of the broken glass.
6. Apply decals (if desired) to new glass panel.
7. Slide rigid glass channels over exposed sides and bottom of new glass panel.
8. Lift motor plate just enough to allow the new glass panel to slide into the corner posts
and down into the bottom glass extrusion.
9. Carefully lower the motor plate until the top glass extrusion secures glass in place.
10. Reinstall dome and remove bungee (popper units: reinstall kettle if removed).
