HOW TO OPERATE

Before rst use, clean the inside and outside of the unit by wiping it with a moist,
non-abrasive sponge or cloth and then drying it with a non-abrasive dry towel.
Make sure the Top Housing is securely attached to the Base before starting.

1. First, nd a at surface near an electrical outlet. Make sure your cord 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.

3. Plug in the appliance while switch is ipped to OFF position.

4. Remove Kernel Cap and Top Housing.

5. Turn appliance ON by ipping the switch on the Base. Allow the appliance
to run for about 2 minutes to heat up Popping Chamber.

6. While Popping Chamber is heating, fill Kernel Cap with corn kernels (4 oz).

7. Turn unit OFF.

8. Pour kernels into the Popping Chamber and replace Kernel Cap and Top Housing.

9. Turn the unit ON. In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin. Fresh, hot popcorn
will begin to tumble out of the opening in the Top Housing and into the bowl.

10. Once the kernels have stopped popping, turn unit OFF.

11. Tip AIR-POP POPCORN MAKER forward to make sure that
all of the popcorn is out of the machine.

12. Always allow 15 minutes between popping sessions to allow
machine to cool so that it does not overheat.

HELPFUL TIPS

POPCORN

The AIR-POP POPCORN MAKER is designed for all regular and premium brands of
popping corn. Yellow corn generally pops better than white corn. Organic corn is not

recommended for this machine. If popcorn is coming out of the unit too quickly, it
is likely a result of the kernel being too hard. Hard kernels take more presesure to

ENGLISH

pop, and the increased pressure causes the kernel to "shoot out" when popped.

When lling the Kernel Cap, make sure to not ll above or below the
marked line. Underlling can cause less kernels to pop and more
unpopped kernels to come out of the unit. Overlling can cause popped
corn to burn and smoke, as it will over ll the Popping Chamber.

SEASONING

NEVER put any seasonings or oil in the Popping Chamber.
Always season popcorn after it has been removed
from the AIR-POP HOT AIR POPCORN MAKER.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Make sure appliance is unplugged before cleaning.

2. Allow unit to cool for at least 15 minutes.

3. Remove the Top Housing and Kernel Cap from Base.

4. Use slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge or cloth to wipe down the inside and outside of
Base, including inside of Popping Chamber, then wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.

5. Wash Top Housing and Kernel Cap with hot, soapy water using a non­abrasive sponge or cloth. Wipe dry with a non-abrasive towel.

6. Reassemble unit and store.

NOTE: Never place any parts in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.
