CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1.A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
2.Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3.If an extension cord is used,
A)The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
B)The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Place the base of the appliance on a clean, flat surface. Caution: Do not let water or any other liquid drip into the base or on the heat shield.
2.Popping plate must lock securely to base before unit will operate. Grip the
locking levers up toward the handles of popping plate, which will open
the lock. Place the plate
on the base (handles of 
popping plate should be centered just above the side handles on base, see Fig.1). Once locking levers are released, the popping plate should be locked to the base.
NOTE: The unit will not operate if popping plate is not positioned correctly. Rotate plate very slightly back and forth until you feel the plate fall into place.
3.Add approximately 2 teaspoons of cooking oil to popping plate (see Tips and Hints, next page, for recommended measurements). We recommend using vegetable or canola oil, but any type is suitable except olive oil.
4.Add kernels to popping plate. We recommend 1⁄3 cup of kernels, especially if using premium popcorn. The measuring cup provided is ½-cup capacity, and also clearly marked for
1⁄3 cup. See Tips and Hints, next page.
5.Place the inverted bowl on top of the popping plate.
6.Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

complete. |
|
11. Lift the popping plate off the bowl by its |

handles, and immediately return the plate |
|
to the base to cool (see fig.4). |
|
CAUTION: After popping, the plate is EXTREMELY HOT. Do not put fingers near the plate. After turning the bowl over to serve, simply return popping plate directly to the base.
A slight odor or smoke may be evident as materials used in manufacturing are burned off internal parts. This is normal.
12.Rotation shaft continues turning until unit is switched OFF manually.
