A. Popping Kettle
Do not immerse an assembled pan in water. This will damage the electrical
components and may cause short circuits resulting in electrical shock hazard if
power is applied.
1. Do not use steel wool or other similar abrasives to clean the nickel plated kettles, as
they will ruin the kettle by removing the nickel plating. Stainless steel kettles can be
cleaned aggressively.
2. Do not attempt to clean the kettle with power connected unless you are boiling the
CKC cleaning compound to clean the inside of the kettle. Follow instructions in
step in step 4.
Do not attempt to clean a hot kettle. Failure to do so may result in serious burns or
scalds.
Do not throw ice into a hot kettle. Doing so can cause damage to the pan and
invalidate the warranty.
3. The kettle either has a polished nickel finish or is a stainless steel finish and is very
easy to clean if oil is not allowed to burn. After the final popping, the best practice is
to wait until the oil just begins to solidify, then take a cotton towel or absorbent rag
and wipe the kettle. Once the oil is allowed to completely solidified, it can become
more difficult to remove. We recommend coconut oil for your Cretors popper; it
will not stick or burn as easily as other oils.
4. A thorough cleaning every week with CKC cleaning compound is recommended.
This will prevent the accumulation of carbon on the bottom and internal sides of the
kettle. When boiling the CKC cleaning compound in the kettle, do not fill the kettle
with more than 3/4" high of water inside the kettle. If the kettle has been
overheated or oils that tend to carbonize are used the normal cleaning procedures
may not suffice. Increase frequency as needed.
5.
Cretors Outside Kettle Cleaner COC should be used periodically to remove popping
oil that may become baked to the outside of the kettle.
6.
The kettle agitator assembly should be removed weekly for thorough cleaning.
7. The stirrer blade is disassembled by lifting up the cover, pulling up the
counterweight and then lifting the stirrer blade and pulling out. Pull down the
counterweight and cover until they come off of agitator shaft.
8. Clean all parts thoroughly, making sure to use CKC. Do not use any harsh abrasives
or cleaning material.
