Butter Melter/
Measuring Scoop
Note: The butter melter
is located in the top
ller of the carton.
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 elec trical or mechanical adjustment, see IMPORTANT
INFORMATION section, page 5.
9. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appli-
ance manufacturer may cause re, electric shock, or injury.
10. Do not use outdoors.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces.
12. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
13. Do not use appliances for other than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
IMPORTANT: To assure proper operation, read and follow instruc-
tions carefully. Before using for the rst 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.
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 difcult 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.
**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.
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.
9. Before popping additional batches, make sure the popping
chamber is empty. Using hot pads, remove the cover and turn
the unit upside down to remove popcorn or unpopped kernels.
Wash and dry the butter melter if it was used to melt butter.
Then repeat steps 2 through 9.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
This popper is thermostatically controlled. It will shut off to
prevent overheating if the popping chamber is overlled or if
the popper is used continuously for extended periods without
being unplugged and allowed to cool.
Should this happen, unplug the popper from the wall outlet,
remove cover, and empty any popped or unpopped corn from
the popping chamber. Allow the popper to cool for about 15
minutes before using again.
How To Use
1. Remove the cover and butter
melter from the popper base,
Fig. A.
2. Using the butter melter as your
measuring scoop, ll the butter
melter with popcorn until it is
LEVEL. Do not pack pop-
corn into scoop or overll.
Pour popcorn into the popping
chamber.*
IMPORTANT: Never ll the popping chamber past the
ll line (Fig. B) as this could result in overheating, smoking, scorched corn, and may cause the unit to shut off. See
IMPORTANT INFORMATION at the bottom of page 5.
3. Place the cover in the cover groove, see 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 up to 3 tablespoons of SOFT butter
or margarine in the butter melter. (Refrigerated butter will
not melt duri ng 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 re 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 within 2 to 3 minutes after it starts popping.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave unit unattended while popping.
Because the yield is so great with this popper, you may have
to add a second bowl during popping.
*If you prefer to use a standard dry measuring cup, 1 butter melter scoop = ½ cup.
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 t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied 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 Clean
1. Allow unit to cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the cover and butter melter in warm, soapy water.
Do not wash in dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe
the corn popper base, including the popping chamber, clean
and dry with a soft dry cloth. Never immerse the corn popper
base in water or other liquid. Do not scour surfaces with
steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
3. Place cover on unit when storing between uses.
Helpful Hints
• This popper is designed to pop regular and premium brands
of popcorn. Try different brands to nd the one you like best.
Yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white.
• Some varieties of small and lighter weight kernel popcorn are
not recommended for use with hot air poppers. Refer to any
additional instructions by popcorn manufacturer.
• Always use fresh popcorn for the best popping performance.
Store popcorn in a tightly sealed container in your pantry. Do
not store popcorn in a refrigerator or freezer as this can dry
out the kernels quickly.
• Carefully select the bowl you will be using to collect popped
corn. A metal bowl may become very hot to the touch due
to the ow of hot air from the chute and must be handled
carefully. It will, however, tend to keep the popcorn warm.
If a plastic bowl is used, be certain it can withstand the heat
caused by the warm air ow without melting.
• Never ll the popping chamber past the ll line (Fig. B,
page 4). Overloading the chamber will cause overheating,
smoking, scorched corn, and may cause the unit to shut off.
Should this happen, unplug the popper from the wall outlet,
remove cover, and empty any popped or unpopped corn from
the popping chamber. Allow the popper to cool for about 15
minutes before using again.
• The butter melter capacity is equal to ½ cup. Using less than
one level butter melter full of popcorn (½ cup) may increase
the number of unpopped kernels.
• Tipping the popper toward the bowl slightly when popping
stops will help clear popped corn from the chamber.
