INSTRUCTIONS

2015 National Presto Industries, Inc.

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 before using the popcorn popper.

2. A popper that is plugged into an outlet should not be left unattended.

3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

4. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, never put the cord, plug, or popper base in water or other liquids.

5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

6. 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.

7. Extreme caution must be used when unloading popcorn. Always turn the unit over a countertop so that residual hot oil or water
running out will not cause burns.

8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.

9. The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

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 that 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.

Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.

Before First Use

1. Become familiar with the various parts of the popper

(Fig. A). Read and follow the instructions carefully.

2. Prior to making your first batch of popcorn, clean

the components as follows:

Popper cover/serving bowl: Wash in warm, sudsy

water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not wash in an
automatic dishwasher.

Popper base: Wipe the nonstick popping surface and

stirring arm and knob with a damp cloth.

WARNING! As with any motorized appliance, to

prevent water from damaging the motor or heating
element, the base of your popper should never be
filled with water, immersed in water or other liquid,
or washed in a dishwasher.

How to Use

Various quantities of popcorn can be made in the Presto
stirring popcorn popper. Refer to the chart below and
determine what size batch of popcorn you want. Use
the suggested amounts of popping corn, oil, and butter
for that amount.

CAUTION! Do not use more than the maximum recom­mended amounts of corn and oil. Failure to comply with
the manufacturer’s recommendations could damage the
popper and/or lead to unsafe operation.

Be sure unit is clean and dry before each use.

* Volume of popped corn will vary depending on the type, quality, and freshness of the corn. In the chart above, there is a volume range for popped corn. The higher side

of the range is the volume produced when using fresh, gourmet, yellow popcorn, like Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Yellow Popping Corn. The smaller quantity is
the volume produced when using other types of corn. Yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white popcorn.
