Assembling Your Popcorn Maker

In order to properly assemble your popcorn maker, using the parts included with your package, please follow
the steps below:

Step 1:

Hook the kettle onto the hangers
in the main housing.

Step 2:

Insert the kettle’s power plug into
the power socket located inside
the main housing.

Step 3:

Insert the old maid filter into the
appropriate space in the floor
inside the housing.

Step 4:

Make sure the fold out panel is
closed securely, and then close
the front door.

Making Popcorn

Once your popcorn maker is properly assembled you can use it to make popcorn. Before you start, make sure
to take the following precautions:

-Make sure that the voltage (AC120V ~60Hz) is suitable to your home.

-Clean the internal surface of the kettle with warm soapy water, rinse it out well, and then dry it with a clean

cloth. Wipe down the inner and outer housing with a damp cloth. Make sure that your popcorn maker is
unplugged before cleaning.

You should now be ready to start making popcorn. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure the power cable connected to the housing is

plugged into a power outlet in your home. Also be sure

that the kettle’s power plug is connected to the power

socket located inside the main housing.

2. Open the lid of the kettle by lifting the lid tab. Before

pouring oil or kernels into the kettle, turn both the LIGHT &
POP switches to the “ON” position. This will turn the light,
heater and motor on. Let the kettle preheat for about 2 to
3 minutes. Next, turn the POP switch to the “OFF” position
and add oil (1 tablespoon of vegetable, corn, peanut, or
safflower oil). Immediately add 1/3 cup of corn kernels (Note: 1/3 measuring cup included) and close
the kettle’s lid. Turn the POP switch to the “ON” position again. The stirrer will begin to rotate and the
heater will heat up the kettle.

CAUTION: The Lid might be hot – it is recommended to use an oven mitt.

3. Popcorn will start popping out through the lid of the kettle after about 2 minutes.

4. When the unit is finished popping – you will no longer heat the corn popping – immediately turn the

POP switch to the “OFF” position and pull down the handle bar of the kettle to release any remaining
popcorn in the kettle. This will also stop the remaining popcorn from any further cooking and avoid
possible burning.

5. Keep the POP switch to the “OFF” position if the unit is not continuously in use.

6. Unplug your device when it is not in use.

7. Repeat for continuous popping.

Cleaning and Maintenance

-It is strongly recommended to clean the kettle frequently to avoid burning excess oil onto the bottom of the

inner pot.

-After using the popcorn machine, let it cool, and use a wet cloth to clean the main body and glass. It is

strongly recommended to wash and dry the tray after each use to avoid any bacteria buildup.

-The light bulb can be replaced with an AC120V 10W bulb.

-Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Quick Cleaning Procedure

In order to quickly clean your device, first make sure the “POP” switch is set to the “OFF” position. Next, pour
4 to 6 ounces of water (NO detergent is necessary) into the inner pot. Set the POP switch to the “ON” position
to boil the water and let the stirrer turn in order to remove excess oil stuck on the surface. After cooling, pour
out the water into a deep bowl and discard after about 1 to 2 minutes of boiling.

CAUTION: THE KETTLE IS HOT.
You can also remove the kettle and clean it with a scouring pad (Not included). Do not immerse the kettle or its

electrical plug in water.
