Page 7: Controls And Their Functions
Econo 8 Popcorn Machine Model No.: 2388, 2388-00-002 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Controls and Their Functions KETTLE HEAT SWITCH Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch ‐ supplies power to the heating element in the 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. The Kettle Motor Switch MUST be ON at all times when there is popcorn (popped or un‐ popped) in the kettle. LIGHTS/WARMER SWITCH Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch ‐ supplies power to the interior cabinet light and corn pan heat element. Label used on Models with PowerOff Control feature. Lights/Warmer Kettle Heat Switch Switch Kettle Motor Switch POWEROFF CONTROL (Model 2388‐00‐002 only) 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. -
Page 8: Popping Corn Instructions
Econo 8 Popcorn Machine Model No.: 2388, 2388-00-002 Popping Corn Instructions This section describes instructions for popping Salted Popcorn. The 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 the kettle like other oils. Use only top quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers. Popping Salted (Standard) Popcorn Raw Popcorn Charge: Use corn measure provided (ex: for 6 oz. Kettle, use 6 oz. corn) Recommended Oil Volume: Oil volume is approx. 30% of corn amount (ex: for 6 oz. corn, use 2 oz. oil) Flavacol (Salt) Amount: Use small Flavacol scoop provided Premeasure all ingredients (adjust as needed for desired taste), or for best results use Mega‐Pop ® premeasured popcorn and oil pouch made for your kettle size. 1. Turn all switches ON. 2. To determine when kettle is ready to pop corn (about 4 minutes), test pop three kernels of corn in one ounce (30 ml) of popping oil. When kernels pop, kettle is ready. 3. Lift kettle lid, pour in popcorn and Flavacol, then add oil; close lid. 4. When corn has finished popping, gently dump the popcorn. Popping Tip: On final batch, turn Kettle Heat Switch OFF just as lids are forced open by the popping corn (kettle has plenty of heat to finish popping). This helps eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue remaining in kettle. 5. -
