BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the
safety of you, our valued customer foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of
care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions :
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
KNOW YOUR BREVILLE CRAZY POPPER
FRESH POPCORN KERNELS SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED IN THE BREVILLE CRAZY POPPER.
STALE POPCORN MAY NOT POP WHICH COULD CAUSE THE POPCORN MAKER TO OVERHEAT.

7
OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE CRAZY POPPER
Remove all packaging and promotional labels and
wash transparent cover and combined measuring
cup/butter dish in hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
Step 1
Insert the plug into a 230/240v power outlet and turn
the power ‘on.’
Step 2
Fill combination measuring cup/butter dish full of
corn kernels and pour into the popping chamber. Do
not place more than one measuring cup/butter dish
full of corn kernels or more than ¹⁄³ metric cup of corn
kernels in the Crazy Popper at one time.
Step 3
Place the transparent cover on the opening of the
popping chamber and place the combined measuring
cup/butter dish onto the opening on top of the cover.
Step 4
Place a large heat proof bowl directly under the
popping chute to collect the popcorn.
Step 5
Turn the Crazy Popper on by pressing the switch ‘on.’
This switch is located at the rear of the machine.
Ensure there are no obstructions inside or below the
chute which could obstruct the popped corn from
falling directly into the bowl.
Step 6
When the Popcorn Maker stops popping corn in the
heating chamber, switch the machine off.
Do not remove the combination measuring cup/butter
dish from the popcorn maker cover until the popping
cycle is complete and the machine has been turned off.
After the popcorn has been popped and collected in
the heat proof bowl, pour the butter onto the popcorn.
Step 7
If you plan to pop more corn, allow the Crazy Popper
to cool for at least 10 minutes. Remove any unpopped
corn left in the popping chamber. Using oven mitts lift
cover off the base, turn base upside down to remove
unpopped corn. Do not place hands inside popping
chamber as it becomes very hot during operation.
Replace cover and start again.
DO NOT OPERATE CRAZY POPPER WITHOUT POPCORN
KERNELS IN IT.
NOTE ! !
If buttered popcorn is desired, place up to 25ml
(2 tablespoons) of butter in a single layer in the
measuring cup/butter dish, which is placed on
top of the transparent cover. The butter will melt
during the popping process.
NOTE ! !
Not all kernels will pop. In some cases a few may
remain inside the chamber.
AS THIS UNIT PERFORMS BY CIRCULATING VERY HOT AIR IN ITS CHAMBER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE
THAT NO CORN (POPPED OR OTHERWISE) IS CAUGHT IN THE HEATING SECTION, AS BURNING WILL RESULT
WITH A SUBSEQUENT EMISSION OF SMOKE.
IMP O R T A N T!!
Do not place any oils, salt, shortening, butter
or margarine in the popping chamber. The
popcorn maker operates without oil. Use of such
substances will cause hazards and could cause
damage to the unit.
DO NOT OPERATE THE CRAZY POPPER IN EXCESS OF 5 MINUTES, SOME CORN KERNELS MAY NOT POP AND
SHOULD BE DISCARDED. ALLOW IT TO COOL DOWN FOR A FURTHER 10 MINUTES BETWEEN USES.
SOME HOT UNPOPPED CORN MAY BE THROWN FROM THE MACHINE DURING THE POPPING PROCESS. BE
SURE TO PLACE THE CRAZY POPPER FACING AWAY FROM YOU OR DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF
MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
POPCORN – NO CHOLESTEROL – LOW FAT
Popping corn is a type of corn kernel which has
been dried. On application of heat the kernel pops
open exposing the light puffy centre of the grain.
Popping corn is available at most supermarkets
and specialty food stores. It should be stored in an
airtight container in a cool dry place.
