INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (Continued)

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER USE OIL, BUTTER, OR MICROWAVE POPCORN WITH THIS UNIT AS THESE COULD START A FIRE!

Popping Popcorn

First, find a stable place near an electrical outlet before starting. (Make sure your cord is away from any water source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an extension cord).

1. Take off the top and fill with kernels up to the marked arrow line (as seen below).

The kernels should cover the surface of the top with one, singular layer. IT IS

IMPORTANT NOT TO UNDERFILL OR OVERFILL THE KERNEL CAP. UNDERFILLING THE TOP CAN CAUSE LESS KERNELS TO POP AND MORE HARD KERNELS TO COME OUT OF THE UNIT DURING POPPING. OVERFILLING CAN CAUSE POPPED POPCORN TO BURN AND SMOKE AS IT WILL OVERFILL THE POPPING CHAMBER.

2. Pour the kernels down into the circular base of the motor.

3. Place the top back in its place.

4. Place a bowl or dish under the popcorn chute to allow popcorn to fill the bowl.

NOTE: When selecting a bowl, make sure to use one that is large enough and will fit under the popcorn chute.

5. Plug unit into outlet.

 Turn unit the unit ON by flipping the power button on the side of the unit. In just

minutes, you will have freshly popped popcorn to perfection!

 When kernels have fully popped, turn the unit OFF. CAUTION THE MACHINE IS

VERY HOT! Allow machine to cool before tipping the popcorn maker forward to

remove any popcorn remaining in machine.

 Eat popcorn as is or top with your favorite toppings such as:

 Salt and Pepper  Seasoning Salts

 Butter or Margarine  Caramel  Worcestershire Sauce  Food Coloring for fun  Parmesan Salt …and more recipe ideas on page 4!

IMPORTANT – Always allow 15 minutes between popping cycles for the machine to cool. This will ensure the unit does not overheat and works effectively.

RECIPES AND TIPS

SELECTING THE RIGHT POPCORN

The

MINI RETRO POPCORN MAKER™

is designed for all regular and premium brands of popcorn. Please note that yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white popcorn. Organic popcorn will work, but is not highly recommended for this machine as less kern els will pop.

Make sure to use fresh popcorn kernels, as older, dried popcorn can scorch and cause smoking in the unit.

Here’s a tip: If your popcorn is old and dried out, you can freshen it by putting the kernels into an air tight container and leaving some space for shaking. Put 1 teaspoon of water into the container for each cup of popcorn. Shake twice a day for 3 days leaving the container in the refrigerator. The kernels should be fresh again and ready to go at this time.

You can enjoy any flavor popcorn - in your own home – with the MINI RETRO POPCORN MAKER™. Here are some sample ideas/recipes to get you started.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Never put any seasoning or oil in the popcorn popping chamber at any time. Always season your popped popcorn after the popcorn has been popped and removed from The MINI RETRO POPCORN MAKER™.  Melt butter or margarine in the microwave. Pour over the popped popcorn and toss

with salt.

 Spray with your favorite flavored vegetable spray and sprinkle with herbs - garlic

powder, chili powder, basil or oregano.
