17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION
Each machine has been properly wired and inspected at the factory for operation on the
voltage and type of current specified on the nameplate.
CAUTION:
DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY OTHER TYPE OF CURRENT OR THE MACHINE
WILL BE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.
120 VOLT MACHINES
Machines with a nameplate stamped 120V, are equipped for operation on 120 volt 60 hertz
AC single phase service and must be connected to a 3 wire grounded, polarized receptacle.
230 VOLT MACHINES
Machines with a nameplate stamped 230V, are equipped for operation on 230 volt 50 hertz
AC single phase service and must be connected to a 3 wire grounded receptacle. Customer
must supply own light bulb rated 230V and 50W maximum.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
With all switches in the "OFF" (0) position, proceed in the following sequence to pop corn:
1. Turn "ON" (1) the light switch.
2. Turn "ON" (1) the kettle switch. Allow six or seven minutes to pre-heat the kettle.
Thermostat adjustments should not be necessary as it has been preset at the
factory for the correct popping temperature.
3. A corn and oil measuring cup is supplied with your machine. Pour an 1/8 cup
measuring cup of oil (one ounce) in kettle, add 2 level 1/4 cup measuring cups
(1/2 cup) of raw corn and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of popcorn salt. Vary the amount of
salt and oil to suit taste. If desired, salt may be added after the corn is popped.
or
Our Recommended corn is "Chiefs Choice" available with coconut oil in 4 oz portion
packs from your local Star dealer.
4. When the corn stops popping, dump the kettle immediately by turning the handle
clockwise approximately 90 degrees to release latch. Latch and load immediately if more
popping is desired. Do not leave the kettle switch "on" (I) unless continuously popping
corn. Results will vary with different oils and popcorn varieties.
5. Turn the kettle switch "off" (0) when the desired amount of popping is completed.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE THE KETTLE SWITCH "ON" (1) WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT
IN USE.
DO NOT IMMERSE KETTLE IN WATER OR ALLOW WATER TO COME IN
CONTACT WITH THE HEATING ELEMENT.
POPPING CORN IN DRY KETTLE IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
MAINTENANCE
KEEPING THE POPPING UNIT CLEAN
After each popping period, wipe the inside and outside of the kettle while it is warm (not hot)
with a clean cloth. This is important to keep salt and seasoning from forming a carbonized
material which not only lowers popping efficiency but can cause excessive smoking or
damage the kettle. Use a damp cloth and a warm mild soap solution to clean the clear
plastic surfaces.
