Luckily, popcorn machines are actually very simple and inexpensive to maintain. A crucial part to caring for such a machine is to remember that it gets extremely hot. Make sure to unplug your popcorn maker and let it cool long before you attempt to work on it at all.
Instructions on how to clean your Gold Medal Popcorn Machine:
After completion of a series of poppings, wipe the outside of the kettle with a soft cloth to remove any oil drippings/residue. DO NOT let this residue burn on! After completion of popping for the day, let the kettle cool until it is warm to the touch. Use a soft cloth to wipe out the inside of the kettle, kettle lids, kettle crossbar, agitator and all outside surfaces of the kettle.
DO NOT immerse the kettle in water or any other cleaning solution, this will void the warranty. It is recommended as a routine maintenance procedure to use authentic Gold Medal 2095 Heat’n Kleen inside kettle cooking surface cleaner. Heat’n Kleen will remove any oily build-up and helps maintain a clean cooking surface if used on a routine basis. Heat’n Kleen will not damage the kettle’s cook surfaces. If needed, unplug kettle and remove it from the machine.
Clean the glass and all interior/exterior cabinet surfaces. A regularly cleaned machine is easier to keep clean. In addition, a clean machine is more appealing to both customers and increases sales. Your local food service inspectors appreciate a clean machine.
DO NOT use any cleaners that contain ammonia. Ammonia based cleaners may crack and/or fog the plastic parts on the machine.
DO NOT use a three (3) prong to two (2) prong adapter. It is Gold Medal Products Company’s recommendation that this machine be fused on a line by itself. Failure to wire properly will void the warranty and can result in damage to the heat elements, light, motor and etc. It is also recommended that this machine be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The use of extension cords is not recommended due to safety reasons and the popper’s performance will be sacrificed/reduced.
On the final kettle of corn, it is a good idea to turn the KETTLE HEAT switch OFF just as the lids are forced open by the popping corn. This procedure saves electricity since the kettle has plenty of heat and eliminates smoke/odor from any oil residue that remains after you have stopped popping.
