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, bowls or bags for holding
the popcorn, cooking oil, Kernel Measuring Cup (H1) and Oil Measuring Spoon (H2).
(Kernel Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon are included with your unit.)
3. Plug in the appliance while switch is ipped to OFF position.
4. Make sure Kettle is properly secured in support brackets.
5. Make sure Kettle motor is fully plugged into the outlet located on the bottom
side of the kettle. NOTE: Kettle will not heat if plug is not fully inserted.
6. Turn appliance ON by ipping the switch on the top of the machine (see illustration above
for location of switches). Allow the appliance to run 3-5 minutes to heat up Kettle.
7. Turn unit OFF.
8. Use the Oil Measuring Spoon (H2) supplied to add 1 tablespoon of your favorite popcorn
cooking oil to the Kettle. For best popping results, it is suggested to use vegetable oil.
9. Add popcorn kernels to the Kettle using supplied Kernel Measuring Cup (H1).
NOTE: If you are using pre-measured packages of corn kernels or popcorn making
kits, you must still measure out the corn kernels and oil using the supplied Kernel
Measuring Cup (H1) and Oil Measuring Spoon (H2). Always follow this rule: 1 Tbsp. oil
+ 2-oz. popcorn = 8 cups popcorn. (DO NOT exceed 2.5 oz. of popcorn kernels.)
10. 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 - just like at the theater!
11. Use your Popcorn Scoop to scoop and serve.

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
1. Make sure appliance is unplugged and COMPLETELY COOLED before cleaning. Unplug
the outer plug to the outlet as well as the Kettle motor plug inside the Main Unit (A).
2. Use slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth to wipe down the inside
and outside of Main Unit (A), then wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.
3. Unplug Kettle motor and remove Kettle from support brackets.
ENGLISH
4. Take Kettle out of the Main Unit (A). After removing Kettle from
Main Unit (A), ll 2/3 of Kettle with hot, soapy water.
5. Let the Kettle sit for 15 – 20 minutes to cut the grease. (Time may vary – use
your own judgment depending on the amount of cleaning necessary.)
6. Empty water. If necessary, use the scrubber side of a
cleaning sponge to scrub inside of Kettle.
7. Rinse inside carefully and dry.
8. Wipe outside of Kettle with damp cloth and dry.
NOTE: To protect the motor plug from getting wet, never immerse the Kettle in
any liquid. Never place any parts in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.
