Status and error messages
During normal machine operation different notifications may be displayed on the screen.
Below is the list and operator's actions suggested to be taken.

Load corn in left (right) hopper — Corn sensor has been tripped. Refill the hopper or let the
machine to process kernels left.
Change bag with popcorn — Bag sensor is tripped. Replace the full cart. Failing to do so will
lead to sound alarm activation and machine will automatically go in pause mode shortly.
Oil and salt will start automatically — While Butterfly program in operation, this message
will appear once corn kernels started to be supplied in the chamber. This is a reminder that oil
and salt supply will start after certain time. See 'Oil turn on delay' setting.
Chamber is clogged with popcorn — Machine chamber is equipped with chamber clogging
sensor that watches what is happening in the chamber. Based on the sensor's output, machine
can increase turbine spinning rate automatically in order to blow out excessive stuff out of the
chamber. If it is not sufficient, then sensor trips and machine switches into cooling mode, and
said message can be seen on the screen.
Chamber clogging sensor trips not only in case of actual clogging, but also in case if too small
amount of corn was put in the hopper or corn sensors have been blinded (for purpose or
incidentally). To continue operation, related indicator should be released. See 'OVERLOAD'
indicator in 'General settings screen' section.
