INSTRUCTIONS
This is a Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance manufacturers.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions. Do not leave unit unattended while in use.
2. Cover and butter melter must be in place before plugging unit in.
3. This unit pops with hot air. Do not place oil, shortening, butter, or margarine in the popping chamber. Use of these substances will
cause hazards and will damage the unit.
4. Do not touch hot surfaces. Cover and detachable butter melter become hot during popping.
5. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plug, or popper in water or other liquids.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
7. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning
the appliance.
8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged
in any manner. Before returning this appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or
mechanical adjustment, see ‟Important Information” section, page 3.

WARNING! FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
State of California Proposition 65 requires that we include the following warning:
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How To Use
IMPORTANT: To assure proper operation, read and follow instructions carefully. Before using for the first time, wash the popper cover
and butter melter in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the popper base with a damp cloth. NEVER IMMERSE BASE
IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
1. Remove the cover and butter melter from the popper base (Fig. A).
2. Using the butter melter as your measuring scoop, fill the butter melter with popcorn until it is LEVEL and pour popcorn into the
popping chamber. Fill scoop again and pour into popping chamber.* Do not pack popcorn into scoop or overfill.
IMPORTANT: Never fill the popping chamber past the fill line (Fig. B) as this could result in overheating, smoking, scorched corn,
and may cause the unit to shut off. See ‟Important Information” on page 3.
3. Place the cover in the cover groove (Fig. B). For easiest alignment, begin by positioning the back of the cover in the groove and then
lower the cover until the sides are seated in the groove.
4. Position the butter melter on the cover with the tab towards the back of the popper (Fig. A). Never pop corn without the butter melter
in position on the cover. If you prefer buttered popcorn, put 1 tablespoon of SOFT butter or margarine in the butter melter. Refriger-
ated butter will not melt during the short popping period. Whether you melt butter or not, the butter melter must always be in position
on the cover when popping corn.
WARNING! Do not place salt, butter, margarine, shortening, or micro-
wave popcorn in the popping chamber as this could damage the popper
and cause a fire hazard.
5. Place a 4-quart or larger heat-proof bowl under the popping chute to col-
lect popped corn. One batch will yield 3 to 5 quarts of popped popcorn.
6. Plug unit into a 120VAC electrical outlet. Popping will be completed
approximately 3 minutes after it starts popping.
CAUTION! Occasionally a hot unpopped kernel may be thrown from the
popping chute. To avoid contact with hot kernels, keep your children,
face, and hands well away from the popping chute during popping.
7. Unplug the unit when popping is complete. Some popped corn may
remain in the chamber after popping has stopped§. To prevent scorching,
unplug the popper without waiting for this corn to clear the unit.
Because a few kernels may continue to pop even after the unit is un-
plugged, make sure all popping has stopped before removing the cover
and butter melter.
Using hot pads, carefully remove the cover and pour the remaining
popcorn into the bowl; immediately place the cover back on the unit.

§ When popcorn remains in the chamber after popping and has not discharged, it is caused by variances in popcorn type, freshness, moisture content, or household current.
