INSTALLATION
CHECKING SHIPMENT
Remove the corrugated carton from the popcorn machine. Check thoroughly for any damage
which may have occurred in transit. Claims should be filed immediately with the transportation
company.
We recommend that you retain the shipping carton and packing in case you with to return the
machine for annual maintenance. Remove remaining tape and other packing material.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Exportmachinesrequireavoltageof230Volt, 50 cycle. Japanese export machines require a
voltage of 100 Volt, 50/60 cycle. Your new machine is furnished with the proper size attachment
plug for carrying this current. The Pinto Pop requires a 15 amp circuit. The Mega Pop requires a
20 amp circuit. Your electrician must furnish sufficient current for troublefree operation.
BEFORE YOU PLUG IN THE MACHINE
1. Make sure the wall outlet can take the three pronged grounded plug on the power supply
cord.
2. Make sure the wall outlet has the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician
check the outlet.
3. Do NOT use a three prong to two prong plug adapter.
MACHINEOPERATION
CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
There are three switches on the popper.
LIGHTANDWARMERSWITCH
Turns on the heat lamp and optional strip heater under the corn pan.
KETTLEMOTORSWITCH
Turns on the motor which drives the kettle agitator shaft.
KETTLEHEAT SWITCH
Turns on the heat element inside the kettle.
Turn the motor switch "ON" with the agitator shaft disengaged from the gearbox to make sure
that it turns freely. If it doesn't, then see if the top of the roof or dome may have been bent down
in transit. This could stall the fan blade blade on the top of the motor. Occasionally, a machine is
dropped in transit.

AMOUNT OF POPCORN AND OIL CHARGE
The Pinto Pop is equipped with an eight ounce corn measure cup. The Mega Pop is equipped
with an twelve ounce corn measure cup. We recommend flavored and colored coconut oil.
Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresher longer and does not leave black deposits in your
kettle like other oils.
PINTOPOP
Corn Charge - 8 ounces [237ml]
Oil Charge - 2 ounces [59ml]
FlavacolSeasoningSalt - 1 tablespoons [15ml]
MEGA POP
Corn Charge - 12 ounces [355ml]
Oil Charge - 3 ounces [89ml]
FlavacolSeasoningSalt - 1½ tablespoons [23ml]
POPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the Kettle Heat and Kettle Motor switches "ON".
2. Test pop with three kernels of corn and one ounce of popping oil. When the kernels pop,
your kettle is ready.
3. Load full corn and oil charges and add Flavacol Seasoning Salt into the kettle.
4. When the corn has popped, dump the kettle.
5. Repeat the cycle starting with step 3. Always pop 3 to 5 batches for the best popcorn.
On the final kettle of corn, it is a good idea to turn the Kettle Heat switch "OFF" just as the lids
are forced open by the popping corn. This saves electricity, since there is plenty of heat in the
kettle, and also eliminates smoke and odor after you have stopped popping.
CARE AND CLEANING
Each time you finish a series of poppings, wipe the outside of the kettle with a soft cloth to remove
any oil drippage on the outside of the kettle. Do NOT let it burn on! After you finish popping for the
day, let the kettle cool until it is not too hot to handle but still warm. Unplug the kettle and remove it
from the machine. With a cloth, wipe out the inside of the kettle, the kettle lids, kettle crossbar,
outside of the kettle, and underneath. Do NOT immerse the kettle in water!
For fresh corn tomorrow, always remove all popped popcorn and pack it into clean plastic bags. Tie
the bags tightly with a twister. Now, clean the glass and wipe off the corn pan. Make sure the ma-
chine is sparkling clean when you leave it. Do not forget to remove the old maid pan and empty out
the unpopped kernels and wipe clean.
