OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REMEMBER:
ALWAYS ensure the the popper chute and butter bin/measuring cup are in place and your popper is loaded with corn
BEFORE plugging into outlet. Your machine will begin the popping/heating process as soon as it is plugged in.
Do not fill the popping engine beyond the fill line or run your machine continuously because this could cause your
popper to overheat and engage the automatic shutoff. Allow your popper to cool briefly between batches by unplugging
it for a few minutes. If your machine goes into automatic shutoff mode, unplug from the outlet and allow to cool.
Note: Because your hot air popper works efficiently and quickly, chilled butter will not have time to completely melt atop
the popper in the butter bin. Use room temperature butter for best results.
DO NOT USE MICROWAVE POPCORN IN YOUR HOT AIR POPPER!
Reminder:To avoid the machine overheat, we would kindly advise that not use continuously for more than 9 times.
To use your popper:
1. Remove the measuring cup and popper chute from the base of the machine. Pour a level measuring
cup of popcorn kernels into the popping engine. Note: Do not overpack the measuring cup, doing
so may cause overheating, burning of kernels or automatic shutoff.
2. Next, replace the popper chute by sliding it into the slot on the base and gently push down to seat.
Return the measuring cup to its place on the cover with the tab toward the back of the machine and
add butter or seasoning if desired.
Note: Remember, NEVER add liquid, butter, fats, seasonings or
anything other than popcorn kernels to the popping engine! This may permanently damage your
popper.
3. Ready a heat-resistant bowl that is large enough to hold 18 cups of popcorn, beneath the popper
chute. Check to make sure that the popper chute and butter bin are securely in place, as shown in
the photo below, and then plug the popper into a 120V AC outlet.
Note: Butter bin MUST be in place to prevent stray kernels from flying out of the popping engine.
4. When popping has completed, use hot pads to remove the cover and place aside.
Unplug the machine, then, being careful not to touch the popping engine,
grasp the base of the popper and empty the rest of the popped
kernels that may have remained in the machine, into the bowl.
CAUTION! POPPER WILL BE HOT!
5. If you have used the butter bin to melt butter or seasonings,
carefully detach the bin from the chute and pour over
your popcorn. Season to taste, then replace popper chute
onto the popper base.
6. Repeat the steps above to pop another batch, making sure
that the popping engine is free of residual kernels before
popping again.
