This manual covers 12/14 Oz. Pop Maxx Popcorn Machine model numbers 2552, 2552C, 2552EX, and

2552XJ. The only difference between the three models and 2552C is the size of the power supply cord

plug. The 2552C has a 20 Amp NEMA 5-20P plug on the power supply cord. The 2552C is intended for

use in Canada. The 2552, 2552 EX, and 2552XJ have a 15 Amp NEMA 5-15P plug on the power supply

cord.

Installation Instructions

Inspection of Shipment:

Unpack the shipping container and thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage that may have occurred

during transit. Notify the freight carrier immediately in order to file a damage claim.

Setup:

Your new Pop Maxx Popcorn Machine is completely assembled and tested at the factory.

Remove all packing material and tape before starting operation.

Electrical Requirements:

The following power supply must be provided:

Model No. 2552: 120 VAC, 60 Hz.

Model No. 2552C: 120 VAC, 60 Hz.

Model No. 2552EX: 240 VAC, 50 Hz.

Model No. 2552 XJ: 100 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

All Models have 1800 Watts.

Your electrician must furnish sufficient current for proper machine operation. 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 Gold Medal Products Company’s recommendation 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.

Before You Plug In Machine:

1. Make sure that the wall outlet can accept the three (3) prong grounded plug on the power supply cord.

2. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician inspect the outlet

and correct if necessary.

3. DO NOT use a three (3) prong to two (2) prong adapter.

Operating Instructions

Controls and Their Functions:

A. Light & Warmer Switch: This switch operates the overhead light and corn deck freshener heat element.

B. Kettle Stir Motor Switch: This switch operates the popcorn agitator shaft. This switch must be ON at all

times when popcorn (popped and un-popped) exist in the kettle.

C. Kettle Heat Switch: This switch turns on the heat element located in the popcorn kettle.

Amount of Popcorn and Oil:

The Pop Maxx is equipped with a twelve ounce (355 ml) corn measure cup. Gold Medal Products

Company recommends the use of flavored and colored coconut oil. Coconut oil does not leave black

deposits in the kettle like other oils.

Corn Charge: 12 Oz. (355 ml) or 14 Oz. (414 ml)

Oil Charge: 3.0 Oz. (89 ml) (Use w/ 12 Oz. Popcorn Charge)

4.0 Oz. (118 ml) (Use w/ 14 Oz. Popcorn Charge)

Flavacol (Salt): 1 ½ Tablespoon (12 ml)

For easy operation, use authentic Gold Medal Products Company portion pack oil and corn/salt kits. This

machine was designed for use with the following portion packs:

Corn/Salt Kit: Model No. 2037 MegaPop Corn & Salt Kit

Oil Portion Pack: Model No. 2639 Naks Pop 4 Coconut Oil, 3.8 Oz. (112 ml)

Popping Instructions:

1. Turn both the KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE STIR MOTOR switches ON.

2. Test pop three (3) kernels of corn and one ounce (1 Oz.) of popping oil. When the kernels pop, the kettle

is ready for use.

3. Load both a full corn/oil charge and Flavacol Seasoning Salt into the kettle. Close the lids.

4. When the corn has finished popping, gently dump the kettle.

5. Repeat the cycle with step number 3. Always pop 3 to 5 batches for the best popcorn.

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.

Care And Cleaning

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. Unplug the kettle and remove from machine. 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 Products Company

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. Contact your local Gold Medal Products Company dealer if additional cleaning strength is

required for extremely dirty kettles.

For fresh corn tomorrow, remove all popped popcorn and place in a clean sealed food container. The

container must be suitable for direct food contact.

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.

NOTE: DO NOT use any cleaners that contain ammonia. Ammonia based cleaners may crack and/or fog

the plastic parts on the machine.
