Chamber Clogging - RoboLabs VPM-RGM2 User Manual

4.2 Chamber clogging

• NEVER USE WATER in case of smoke formation.
• DO NOT OPEN in case of smoke formation.
• DO NOT USE fire extinguishers. Machine is made of stainless steel, as long
as chamber is closed, popcorn won't get fire.
The chamber may be clogged due to the following reasons:
• Low quality corn. Un-popped kernels are accumulating in the chamber and cannot be evacu-
ated, which causes weakened airflow, and eventually chamber clogging and smoke formation.
• Power supply issues (voltage drop, power cut-off) or actuating Emergency stop switch that
causes turbine stop, which leads to steep temperature rise inside the chamber, and eventually
chamber clogging and smoke formation.
IN CASE OF CHAMBER CLOGGED OR SMOKE FORMATION, DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. UNPLUG the machine.
2. WAIT until machine COOLS DOWN.
3. Open the chamber and thoroughly clean inside.
4. If corn supply tube is clogged with corn kernels and popped popcorn, use the cleaning brush
from the delivery set to remove popcorn stuck in the tube and to clean the tube.
