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. Units with
an IEC Power Cord - make sure the IEC cord is properly seated into the IEC receptacle before
powering up the machine.
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.,

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controls and Their Functions
KETTLE HEAT SWITCH
Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch - supplies power to the heating elements in the
popping kettle. The green switch light ON indicates there is power to the kettle heating
element.
KETTLE MOTOR SWITCH
Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch - supplies power to the kettle agitator motor
and exhaust blower. The Kettle Motor Switch MUST be ON at all times when there is
popcorn (popped or un-popped) in the kettle. The green switch light ON indicates there is
power to the agitator motor and exhaust blower.
LIGHTS/WARMER SWITCH
Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch - supplies power to the popcorn sign, interior
cabinet light, and heat element for the corn pan.
POWEROFF CONTROL
The PowerOff Control feature will automatically turn the kettle heat off after 15 minutes of idle
time (no popcorn popped). The PowerOff Control will prevent the heat element and thermostat
from cycling OFF-ON if the Kettle Heat Switch is left on. This feature saves electrical power and
extends the life of the kettle heating element and thermostat.
•When the Kettle Heat Switch is turned ON, and the kettle thermostat switches OFF,
the PowerOff Control’s 15 minute timer starts; the 15 minute timer resets each
time a batch of popcorn is 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 the kettle heating, cycle the Kettle Heat Switch OFF-ON.

Popping Corn
This section describes instructions for popping Standard (salted popcorn).
Amount of Popcorn and Oil
our 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.
Ingredient amounts for popping Standard Popcorn:
Kettle Size Popcorn Charge Oil Charge Flavacol (Salt)
12 oz.
12 oz. (355 ml)
4
oz. (
118
ml)
1
Tblsp. (
15
cc)
For best results use Mega-Pop® 12 oz. premeasured pouches (Item# 2839).
Popping Standard (Salted) Popcorn
1. Turn the Lights/Warmer, Kettle Heat and Kettle Motor Switches ON.
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 kettle lid and load the Mega-Pop® premeasured popcorn and oil pouch into
kettle, or pour in the popcorn and Flavacol, then add oil in the premeasured amounts
specified above. Close lid.
4. When the corn has finished popping, gently dump the popcorn.
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.
6. When finished popping, make sure KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches are
turned OFF.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!
If Auto Shut-OFF is enabled, unit will automatically shut kettle heat OFF after 15
minutes of idle time (no popcorn popped). To restart kettle heating, cycle the Heat
Switch OFF-ON.
