POPPING CORN INSTRUCTIONS
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 popcorn from reputable suppliers.
Corn charge – 16 oz. (473ml), use supplied corn measure.
Oil charge – 5 oz. (148ml), see the oil pump instruction manual to set the oil delivery amount.
Flavacol (salt) – 1.5 tablespoons (20cc), use supplied salt scoop.
For best results use ega-Pop® premeasured pouches (Item# 2846).
Popping Popcorn - 2102E Model Series Only
This section describes popping instructions for electronic units. See next section for non-electronic
odels 2102 and 2102EX.
Remember:
When the Yellow Light comes ON, and Audible Signal (if enabled) is sounding, one of the
following actions should be taken:
•Load the corn and oil or
•Dump the popped corn from the kettle or
•Turn OFF the Kettle Heat if you are finished popping corn.
1. Turn all switches ON.
Note: When popping with coconut oil, be sure the oil is liquid. As a check, dispense oil into a
measuring cup first (should be 5 oz.), then use that oil for the first popping cycle.
2. When the kettle is ready (about 4 minutes), the Yellow Light and Audible Signal (if enabled)
will turn ON.
3. Lift the kettle lid and load the ega-Pop® premeasured popcorn and oil pouch into kettle, or
pour in the popcorn and Flavacol, then press the “Red” Oil Dispense PB Switch to add oil.
4. When the corn has finished popping the Yellow Light and Audible Signal will turn ON, then
gently dump the popcorn.
Note: The signal “To Dump” was factory set based on our popcorn and oil. If the signal
occurs before or after the popping has stopped, the signal timing must be adjusted.
Have a qualified service person adjust the signal to dump (reference the Electronic
Temperature Control section).
5. On the final kettle of corn, turn the Kettle Heat Switch OFF just as the lids are forced open by
the popping corn. This procedure saves electricity, since the kettle has plenty of heat, and
helps eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue that remains after popping has stopped.
Note: When the Kettle Heat Switch is OFF, the machine will not beep on the last batch.
6. When finished popping, make sure KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE OTOR switches are
turned OFF.
NEVER LEAVE T E EAT ON W EN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!

kettle models (2102E odel Series).
1. Turn all switches ON.
Note: When popping with coconut oil, be sure the oil is liquid. As a check, dispense oil into a
measuring cup first (should be 5 oz.), then use that oil for the first popping cycle.
2. To determine when the kettle is ready to pop corn (about 4 minutes), test pop three kernels
of corn and one ounce (30 ml) of popping oil. When the kernels pop, the kettle is ready for
use.
3. Lift the lid and load pre-measured popcorn and oil pouch into kettle, or add the
premeasured corn and Flavacol in amounts specified, then press the “Red Oil Dispense PB
Switch to add oil.

helps eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue that remains after popping has stopped.
6. When finished popping, make sure KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE OTOR switches are turned
OFF.
