IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to
persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug,

or base in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by

or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow

to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug

or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged
in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the

appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot

surfaces, including stove.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a

heated oven.

11. To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet.

12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

13. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance

containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

14. A popper that is plugged into an outlet should not be left

unattended. This popper will not shut off automatically. To avoid
overheating, add corn and oil before operating.

15. Extreme caution must be used when unloading popcorn. Always

turn the unit over a countertop so that residual hot oil or water
running out will not cause burns.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one

wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord
may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.

How to Make Popcorn

NOTE: The amounts listed on some grocery store popcorn
packages call for more oil than is necessary in this unit. Too
much oil will begin to collect in the base of the popper.

1

Place recommended amount of
oil (canola or peanut oil is best)
and popcorn kernels on nonstick
popping plate. See Servings
Chart on page 6 for ingredients
and amounts to pop.

2

Place lid on popper without lid
cover to allow steam to escape.
Plug unit into outlet. DO NOT
OPERATE WITH LID COVER ON
LID.

When popping slows to about
2 seconds between pops, unplug
unit so popcorn does not burn.

NOTE: Popcorn kernels may
continue to pop after unit is
turned off. Make sure popping
has stopped before flipping and
removing lid.

3

If desired, place thin pats of butter
in the butter well, allowing butter
to melt into the popcorn as the
unit heats. For best results, place
no more than approximately
4 thin pats of butter in the butter
well. Softened butter will yield
best results.

6

Push lid cover firmly onto lid.

4

Stirring arm begins to rotate and
the unit heats the kernels and oil.
The heated kernels will begin to
pop.

NOTE: The stirring arm will
occasionally reverse directions
during use. Every so often, kernels
will become trapped under the
stirring arm and can result in a
scraping or squeaking sound. This
does not indicate a problem with
the popper.
