4. Set the Temperature Controller on the side of the cabinet to 325°F. It may be necessary to
adjust the temperature higher or lower to get the color and flavor you desire.
5. When the mix reaches the set point, the heat will automatically turn off which will also
turn out the pilot light and sound the buzzer. At this time turn off the heat switch, turn
on the mixer switch and add 2 measuring can (approximately 2.25 lbs.) of popped corn.
6. When the corn is well coated, spray with Non-Stick to separate.
7. Corn must be sprayed with Non-Stick in order for the individual kernels to separate.
8. When the corn appears to be separated and free in the mixer, dump the batch. Never run
the mixer longer than necessary as this will break up the corn.
9. Turn the mixer motor off and dump the mixer by lifting up on the handle. Use the
spatula supplied with the machine to assist in emptying the caramel corn from the mixer.
10. On succeeding batches with a hot pan first turn on the heat and add 4 ounces of water.
When the water stops boiling, add one bag of mix and the amount of water recommended
by the mix instructions and complete as above.
CAUTION! Always turn off the HEAT switch before adding the popped corn. After the
last batch is made and the mixer has cooled, spray Non-Stick into the mixer and leave it
until next use. This will prevent any caramel from hardening underneath the blade hub
causing it to stick and damage the motor drive. Never leave heat on in mixer when
machine is not in use. Be sure to turn off all switches when closing machine at night.
B. Temperature Control
The temperature at which the elements will turn off and the buzzer will sound is determined by
the setting of the Temperature Controller, P/N 14585-CMD or 14585-E-CMD. To raise or lower
the temperature, push the up and down buttons on the front of the controller.
