HOW TO OPERATE
Before rst use, clean the inside of the unit by wiping with a moist, non-abrasive
sponge, towel or cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Wipe down the
inside of the Kettle and be sure it is properly placed in the brackets before starting.
1. First, nd a at surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord
ENGLISH
is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2. Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, seasonings, cooking oil, Popcorn
Bucket, Kernel Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon. (Popcorn Bucket, Kernel
Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon are included with your unit.)
3. Plug the appliance into the wall outlet while switch is ipped to OFF position.
4. Make sure Kettle is properly secured in the support brackets, and kettle motor cord is fully
plugged into the outlet located on the bottom side of the kettle. The kettle cord is located
on the ceiling of the unit.
NOTE: Kettle will not heat if plug is not fully inserted.
5. Turn appliance ON by ipping the switch on the top of the machine.
Allow the appliance to run 3-5 minutes to heat up the Kettle.
6. Turn unit OFF.
7. Use the supplied Oil Measuring Spoon to add 1 scoops (1 tablespoon) of your favorite
popcorn cooking oil to the Kettle. For best results, it is suggested to use coconut oil.
8. Add ¼ cup (2 oz.) popcorn kernels to the Kettle using the supplied Kernel Measuring Cup.
NOTE: DO NOT overll or pack kernels into Kernel Measuring Cup as this will crowd the
Kettle. Doing so may result in more unpopped kernels and cause kernels to smoke or burn.
9. Turn the unit ON and close the door. In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin. Fresh,
hot popcorn will begin to burst out of the ip lids on the Kettle!
NOTE: Steam produced during the popping process is normal.
10. Once the kernels have stopped popping, turn the unit OFF and tip the Kettle using the red
knob on the Crank Handle to release the popcorn.
NOTE: Do not allow motor to continue to run after popcorn is done popping.
IMPORTANT: Extreme caution must be used when emptying popcorn. Always make
sure the unit is over a countertop so that residual hot oil running out will not cause burns.

HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
SMOKING
If your POPCORN CART begins to smoke during cooking, it may be due to grease build up.
In order to reduce smoking, make sure that you clean the inside of the Kettle between uses.
POPCORN
The POPCORN CART is designed for all regular and premium brands of
popping corn. Yellow corn generally pops better than white corn, while
some brands of kernels have a harder outer shell and may result in fewer
popped kernels. Try dierent brands to nd which you like best.
If you notice you are experiencing a lot of unpopped kernels, try adding
more oil to the Kettle. More oil may help pop more kernels.
Always use fresh popcorn. Dried out, stale, or old popcorn pops poorly
as it has lost its moisture content and may scorch. We recommend
storing popcorn in an airtight container in a cool place.
Occasionally popcorn does not pop. This is usually the result of environmental factors
such as freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances of popcorn
type. Unpopped kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance.
When lling the Kernel Measuring Cup, make sure to not ll above the marked line.
Underlling can cause less kernels to pop and more unpopped kernels to come out of the
unit. Overlling can cause popped corn to burn and smoke, as it will overll the Kettle.
SEASONING
For more buttery popcorn or when adding seasonings, a spritz of olive oil,
water or butter will allow the seasonings to better stick to the popcorn.
ENGLISH
IMPORTANT: DO NOT place butter, seasonings, or anything other than popcorn kernels
into the popcorn Kettle. Use of these substances may cause hazards and may damage the
unit.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, make sure appliance is unplugged from wall outlet, and the kettle cord
is unplugged from the kettle. Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
1. After kettle cord has been unplugged and Kettle has completely cooled,
turn Crank Handle clockwise to loosen and remove from Kettle.
2. Remove Kettle from support brackets, and take the Kettle out of the main unit.
ENGLISH
3. Fill the Kettle with a small amount of hot, soapy water.
NOTE: To protect the kettle cord receptacle from getting wet, never
allow water or liquid of any kind near or in the kettle cord receptacle.
Never place any parts in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.
4. Allow the Kettle to sit for 15 to 20 minutes to cut the grease. (Time required to cut grease
may vary – use your own judgment depending on the amount of cleaning necessary.)
5. Carefully empty water from the Kettle, taking care to not get water
into the kettle cord receptacle. If necessary, use the scrubber side
of a cleaning sponge to scrub the inside of the Kettle.
6. Rinse inside of the Kettle carefully and dry with a non-abrasive towel.
Wipe the outside of the Kettle with a damp cloth and then dry.
7. Use a slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth to wipe down the inside and
outside of the main unit. Then wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry. For stubborn soils, a
citrus degreaser may be used on the panel windows and door.
IMPORTANT: Not all citrus degreasers are the same and some may contain chemicals
that may damage your unit! We recommend testing the degreaser on a small,
inconspicuous spot on the unit to ensure the chemicals do not damage your panels.
8. Place the Kettle back into the brackets of the main unit. Lastly, screw
in the Crank Handle, turning counter-clockwise to tighten.
