Model Description
5081:Peanut Roaster, 10 lb. capacity
Setup
1. Remove all packaging and tape prior to operation.
2. Place unit on a sturdy, level base for use—strong enough to safely support 120 lbs.
Electrical Requirements
The following power supply must be provided (reference unit Data Plate for Wattage requirement):
120/208 or 120/240 V~, 60 Hz
This unit is designed to operate on single phase, 20 AMP, 4 wire supply, 120/208 or
120/240 V~ (2 Hot, 1 Neutral, 1 Ground). All electrical components in this machine are
120 V (motors, heat elements, lights, etc.) and therefore require “Hot to Neutral”
connection (NOT “Hot to Hot”). A wall receptacle is supplied with the machine. This
receptacle will accept the attachment plug on the machine and must be used.
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.
Receptacle Installation for L14-20
A certified electrician must follow the IMPORTANT instructions below for installation of the
L14-20 Receptacle (Gold Medal Item No. 41254) provided with the unit, reference image below.
If the receptacle is wired incorrectly, the heat elements/kettle and other electrical components
could be at 208 or 240 V potential instead of the needed 120 V, resulting in excessive temperatures
in the heat elements (i.e.: kettle) and possible fire, and/or damage to electrical components.
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.
