ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires or other damage to persons or property.

CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for some time after turning off. Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place anything on top of the appliance while it is operating or while it is hot.

1. All users of this appliance must read and understand this Owner’s Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.

2. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.

3. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately unplug the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.

4. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.

POLARIZED PLUG

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 in 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.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the 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.

ELECTRIC POWER

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the

countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coast- ers or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the countertop or tabletop.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Wash popper cover and measuring cup in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove popper cover and measuring cup from popper base. Fill the measuring cup with kernels and add to popping chamber. Do not overfill measuring cup - kernels should be level in measuring cup. Measuring cup = corn kernels to the popping chamber at one time. Do not put any other ingredients such as oil, shortening, butter, margarine, salt and sugar into popping chamber as damage will occur.

2. Place popper cover onto base, positioning bottom edge of cover into groove of base. Place measuring cup onto popper cover. Never pop corn without popper cover and measuring cup in position.

3. Plug unit into a 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet and press the On/Off Switch to On (I). Note: The measuring cup may be used to melt butter while

the unit pops the kernels. Never add more than the measuring cup. For best results, cut butter into placing in measuring cup. When using the measuring cup to measure kernels, always wash and dry the measuring cup after each batch of popcorn when melting butter.

4. Press the On/Off Switch to Off (O) and unplug the unit when popping is complete. Do not operate this unit empty. Due to variances in the popcorn type, freshness and moisture content, some popped or unpopped kernels may remain in the chamber after the popping has stopped. To prevent scorching, unplug the popper without waiting for this corn to clear the unit.

⁄2cup of butter to

⁄4slices before

CAUTION: AS KERNELS MAY CONTINUE TO POP EVEN AFTER UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, MAKE SURE ALL POPPING HAS STOPPED BEFORE REMOVING COVER.

CAUTION: USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT SURFACES OF THE UNIT. TO AVOID TEMPORARY MALFORMATION OF THE COVER, ALLOW IT TO COOL ON THE UNIT BASE AFTER POPPING.

5. For additional batches, unplug unit. Make sure the popping chamber is empty. Carefully remove excess popcorn or left over unpopped kernels. Then repeat steps 1 through 5. Note: When

popping more than one or two batches of corn, allow the popper to cool down for at least 10 minutes.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. This popcorn popper is designed to pop regular and premium brands of popcorn. Try different brands to find the one you like best. Yellow kernels generally pop larger than white. One half cup unpopped kernels will yield approximately 3 quarts of popcorn.

2. Always use fresh popcorn. Stale or dried-out popcorn pops poorly and may cause scorching or smoking.

3. 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 flow 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 flow without melting.

4. Never use more than

5. Never add salt, sugar or other flavorings into popping chamber.

6. This is an AIR corn popper. Popcorn will pop by circulating hot air. Oils, fats or shortening are not needed and should never be used. Do not use microwave popcorn in this appliance.

⁄2cup of kernels per batch.
