HOW TO OPERATE
Before rst use, follow the directions under CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE to clean your POPCORN POPPER.
1. To make popcorn, begin by nding a at surface near an electrical
outlet before starting. Make sure your cord is away from any water
ENGLISH
source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2. Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, seasonings,
cooking oil, and measuring spoon for oil.
3. Measure up to 3 tablespoons of oil (see step 5 for conversion) and add to the Cooking
Plate (oil may also be added through ventilation slots while corn kernels are popping).
4. Add up to 6 ounces (3/4 cup) of corn kernels. DO NOT exceed 6 ounces total of popcorn
kernels.
5. For every Measuring Cap full of kernels (2 oz.), add 1 tablespoons of oil. For best
results, soft-shelled popping corn and coconut or vegetable oil is recommended.
6. Always remove the Lid while kernels are popping. This
will allow steam to vent through the top.
7. Place the Bowl onto the Cooking Plate and plug in the
appliance while switch is ipped to OFF position.
8. Turn appliance ON by ipping the switch on the Base. Soon you will hear the popping begin!
9. Once popping has stopped, turn the unit OFF and unplug from the electrical outlet.
10. Secure the Lid to the top of the Bowl.
11. While wearing oven mitts, ip over the Bowl and Cooking Plate, then remove
the Cooking Plate. If desired, add popcorn seasons to your popcorn. Use the
Cooking Plate to shake and evenly coat your popcorn with seasonings.

HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
SMOKING
If your POPCORN POPPER 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 POPPER 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.
Once most of the popcorn has nished popping, turn o unit and dump bowl. Do not
let the popcorn sit on the burner too long - this will avoid burning your popcorn.
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
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure appliance is unplugged and completely cooled before cleaning.
2. Remove the Cooking Plate by lifting up on the handles.
3. Wash the Cooking Plate and Bowl and Lid in warm, soapy water with a non-abrasive cloth or
sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a non-abrasive towel.
NOTE: The Cooking Plate and Bowl may also be placed in the dishwasher.
4. Clean the exterior of the Base with a non-abrasive, damp and soapy cloth.
Wipe surface until fully clean and then dry with a dry, non-abrasive cloth.
NEVER use scouring pad or abrasive cleaners on the Base, as scratching may occur.
