Forward

This manual covers the 16oz. Citation Popcorn Machine, model number 2001EX, 2001BNX, and 2001STX.

Installation Instructions

Inspection of Shipment:

Unpack all cartons and check thoroughly for any damage that may have occurred during transit.

Damage claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company. Gold Medal is not

responsible for damage that occurs in transit.

Setup:

Your new Citation 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. 2001EX : 1920 Watts, 230 VAC, 8.4 Amps, 50 Hz.

Model No. 2001BNX: 1920 Watts, 230 VAC, 11 Amps, 50 Hz.

Model No. 2001STX: 1920 Watts, 230 VAC, 11 Amps, 50 Hz.

Your electrician must furnish sufficient current for proper machine operation. We recommend this

popper be connected to a dedicated 15 amp circuit protected line. 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 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 grounded to un-grounded plug adapter.

Amount of Popcorn and Oil:

The Citation popper is equipped with a sixteen ounce 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: 16 Oz. (473 ml)

Oil Charge: 4-5 ounces

Flavacol (Salt): 1 ½ Tablespoon (20 cc) (Use the supplied Salt Scoop)

Popping Instructions:

1. Turn both the KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE 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, starting with step number 3, until the desired amount of popcorn has been

achieved. Always pop 3 to 5 consecutive 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, and reduces smoke/odor from

any oil residue that remains after you have finished popping.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Clean the Kettle

1. CAUTION: The hot kettle will cause burns if you touch it with your hand. Allow the kettle

to cool for at least 1 hour before attempting to clean. Wipe the kettle with a clean cloth.

2. After ending extended use, mix a gallon of Heat’n Kleen solution (2 tablespoons per

gallon of water). Add 16 oz. of this solution into the kettle. Turn on the kettle heat. When

the water starts to boil, turn off the kettle heat and allow the solution to settle over-

night.

3. Before next use, dump the solution into a bucket and wipe the inside of the kettle with a

clean cloth. Make sure all of the solution goes into the bucket, and that you do not spill

any into the interior cabinet of the machine.

Cleaning the Exhaust Filter (Shown on Page 12 of this manual)

Clean the Exhaust Filter at least once a week by following these simple instructions:

1. Pull the filter out.

2. Wash in warm soap and water.

3. Allow filter to air dry, then re-install.

Clean the Popcorn Machine

1. Wipe the stainless steel parts with a clean cloth and cleaner designed for stainless steel. Do not

use oven cleaners, as they will damage parts of the machine.

2. Ammonia cleaners will damage the plastic doors. Use only non-ammonia cleaners, such as

Gold Medal’s – Watchdog Glass Cleaner – item number 2588.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Below are some common issues you may encounter, along with basic trouble shooting

steps to resolve them.

EXPERIENCING LONG POPPING CYCLES

If your pop cycle is longer than 4 minutes, it can be the result of several things:

A. LOW VOLTAGE - If the machine is operated on low voltage, this could cause the kettle

not to reach the proper operating temperature. Voltage must be at least 110v.

B. INADEQUATE SUPPLY LINES - Inadequately sized electrical supply lines, in addition to

being a fire hazard, would also prevent the kettle from reaching the proper operating

temperature. Check with a qualified electrician.

C. INFERIOR CORN - Inferior quality corn would result in longer popping cycles. Use only

top quality fresh hybrid popcorn from reputable suppliers. Even then, if you let your corn

pick up moisture or dry out, your popping cycles will be slow.

THE KETTLE DOES NOT HEAT

Before you go any further, make sure the kettle lead-in cord is plugged in.

A. KETTLE HEAT SWITCH - Check the voltage to and from the “KETTLE HEAT” switch,

and if the switch is defective, replace it. (Repair should only be performed by qualified

service personnel.)

THE MOTOR WILL NOT TURN AGITATOR

WARNING! If the kettle agitator shaft is not rotating, DO NOT pop corn. Adjust the clearance

between the kettle bottom and the stir blade to 1/32” (use a dime). Loosen the set screw in the

collars above and below the crossbar and adjust the agitator shaft as necessary. Then re-tighten the

set screws in the collars.
