When making sugar corn, add the correct amount of sugar, rather than salt, with the measure for corn. WARNING! Always add corn to the kettle before pressing the oil delivery button or adding oil.
A. Popping Kettle 1. The Cretors kettle is designed to be cleaned in place. There is no need to remove the kettle for cleaning. Do not immerse an assembled kettle in water. This will damage the electrical components and may cause short circuits resulting in electrical shock hazard if power is applied.
Increase frequency as needed. Cretors has developed a cleaning kit for your Diplomat machine. The kit is sold separately under P/N 10831. If you need more information, please feel free to contact your local distributor or call Cretors at 1-800-228-1885.
