Frequently Asked Questions - Theater TP-4 Paragon
How do I season my popcorn machine?
Before first use, wipe the interior with a damp cloth. Then add 1 Tbsp of oil and run the kettle on high for 2 minutes. Discard the oil. The machine is now seasoned.
What type of oil should I use?
Use coconut oil, canola oil, or specialized popcorn oil with a high smoke point. Avoid butter or margarine as they burn.
Why is my popcorn not popping?
Check that the kettle is hot enough (preheat 5 min). Ensure kernels are fresh and not old. Verify the stirring motor is working.
How do I clean the kettle?
Unplug and let cool. Remove the kettle and wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse in water.
Can I leave the machine on overnight?
No. Always unplug the machine after use. The warming lamp should be turned off. Never leave unattended while operating.
What is the popcorn capacity per batch?
The kettle holds 8 oz of unpopped kernels, yielding about 4 gallons of popped popcorn.
Why is the machine making a loud noise?
The stirring rod may be loose or the bearings dry. Tighten the rod as per manual. If noise persists, apply a drop of food-grade lubricant.
Where can I buy replacement parts?
Contact Paragon customer service or visit an authorized dealer. Common parts like the kettle and lamp are available online.
Is the popcorn machine safe to use on a wooden counter?
Yes, but ensure the counter is heat-resistant. The machine has non-skid feet and a cool-touch handle. Keep away from water.
How do I reset the thermal cut-off?
Unplug the machine and let it cool for 30 minutes. Plug it back in. The cut-off resets automatically. If it trips again, check for blockages.
