HOW TO OPERATE
Before first use, clean the inside and outside of the unit by wiping with a moist,
non-abrasive sponge or cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel.
Make sure the Top Housing is securely attached to the Base before starting.
1.
First, find a flat surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord
is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2.
Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, seasonings,
bowls or bags for holding the popcorn.
3.
Plug in the appliance while switch is flipped to OFF position.
4.
Remove the Kernel Measuring Cup.
5.
Turn unit ON by pushing the button on the Base. Allow the appliance
to run for about 3 minutes to heat up the Popping Chamber.
6.
Turn unit OFF. Place bowl underneath the Popcorn Chute to collect popcorn.
7.
Fill the small corner compartment of the Kernel Measuring Cup (¼ cup) with popcorn
kernels.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT overfill or pack kernels into Kernel Measuring Cup as this will
crowd the Popping Chamber. Doing so may result in more unpopped kernels and cause
kernels to smoke or burn.
NOTE
: Some brands of kernels have a harder outer shell and sometimes result in fewer
popped kernels. Generally, yellow corn pops better than white corn. We recommend trying
different brands to find which you like best.
8.
Pour kernels into the Popping Chamber and replace Kernel Measuring Cup.
IMPORTANT
: DO NOT place oil, shortening, butter or anything other than popcorn
kernels into the Popping Chamber.
9.
Turn unit ON. Fresh popcorn will soon begin to burst out of the Popcorn Chute and into the
bowl below.
CAUTION: Occasionally a hot unpopped kernel may be thrown from the popping
chute. To avoid contact with hot kernels, keep children and your face and hands a safe
distance from unit during the popping process.
IMPORTANT:
If you see or smell smoke or odor, or if this appliance begins to
malfunction during use, immediately unplug the cord. Do not attempt to repair a
malfunctioning appliance.
10. When the popping slows to around 1-2 pops per second, turn unit OFF.
NOTE
: Overcooking the popcorn will cause scorching and burning.
11. Allow unit to cool for 10 minutes between popping sessions so unit does not overheat.
