OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Controls and Their Functions

HEAT/MOTOR SWITCH

This rocker switch in the “ON” position energizes the heating elements in the bottom of

the kettle, and the motor will also turn for 15 seconds of every minute.

Note: It is normal for the motor to stop for 45 seconds of every minute.

MOTOR SWITCH

With this rocker switch in the “ON” position, the agitator motor will run continuously.

Note: The main function of this switch is for mixing the product/popcorn at the

end of the cooking cycle with the kettle in the tilt position, and it is used for

“cleaning mode”.

HEAT CONTROL

The machine comes from the factory preset for a product cook temperature of 280°F for

Corn Treat machines. If more or less heat is required, remove the silver hole plug located

on the front panel of the control box. This will allow you to access the heat control

adjustment potentiometer. Turn the potentiometer slightly clockwise to increase the

temperature, and counter-clockwise to decrease the temperature.

To Calibrate the Heat Control for a 280°F Product Cook Temperature: Fill the mixing

bowl with a one inch depth of corn oil. Use an accurate thermometer to measure the

temperature of the oil in the mixing bowl. Stir the oil while it heats. When the oil reaches

310°F slowly turn the potentiometer counter clockwise until the buzzer sounds. If the

buzzer sounds before the temperature reaches 310°F turn the potentiometer clockwise

until the buzzer stops and continue to turn an additional 1/8 of turn.

Note: The sound of the buzzer signals kettle heat shut-off.

Kettle Dump Handle

This lever tilts the kettle from the upright cook position to the mix position or the dump

position.

Kettle Stop Lever

This lever stops the kettle in the mix position or in the dump position.
