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.
9. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

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. Refrigerated 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 microwave
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 collect 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 and your 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 unplugged, make sure all popping has stopped before removing the cover and butter melter. Carefully remove the cover—use
hot pads—and pour the remaining popcorn into the bowl, then immediately place the cover back on the unit.
NOTE: The cover is made of a costly material which absorbs heat without melting. When heated, it does soften and may change
shape temporarily if left on the counter to cool, which may make it difficult to place back on the popper base. To avoid this situation,
always return the cover to the base immediately after pouring out the popped corn.
8. If butter was melted in the butter melter, carefully grasp the butter melter by the tab and pour the butter over the popped corn. Sprinkle
the popcorn with salt if desired.

§ 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.
