BEFORE FIRST USE

Make sure the popcorn maker is unplugged before you perform the following:

1. Check to be sure the voltage (120V – 60 Hz) is suitable to your home.

2. Clean the internal surface of the kettle with warm soapy water; rinse well and dry with a clean cloth. Wipe down inner and outer housing with a damp cloth. Be sure that all parts are completely dry before assembly.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

1. Run the kettle stirrer through the opening in the center of the kettle lid. Insert the top of the kettle stirrer into the top of the main housing and turn counterclockwise to secure in place.

2. Place the kettle onto the kettle hook on the left side of the main housing. Raise the kettle so that it rests on the top of the kettle release tab.

POPPING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Be sure that the popcorn maker has been assembled properly before plugging in and popping.

2. Plug the main power cord into an electrical outlet.

3. Add 2 tablespoons of oil (vegetable, canola, corn, peanut or safower oil) and ½ cup of corn kernels to the kettle; lower the lid.

Note: Use 2 scoops of the oil measuring spoon provided

and 2 scoops of the kernel measuring cup provided.

4. Turn the power switch to the ON position.

Note: You do not need to allow the kettle to heat up

beforehand.

5. After approximately 3 minutes, popcorn will start to pop up and out of the lid.

6. When the unit is nished popping – you will no longer hear the corn popping – immediately turn the power switch to the OFF position and press down on the kettle release tab located on the right of the housing to release the kettle. This will allow the excess popcorn to fall from the kettle.

7. Before scooping popcorn, return the kettle to the upright position by using the kettle handle. CAUTION: KETTLE

8. Use the popcorn scoop to remove the popcorn from the unit.

9. After the popcorn has been removed from the unit, remove the screen of the kernel catcher at the bottom of the unit. Remove the tray and discard the unpopped kernels.

11. Repeat steps 3 through 9 for additional batches.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

After using the popcorn maker, let it cool completely. Use a wet cloth to clean the housing and doors.

It is strongly recommended to clean the kettle frequently to avoid burning excess oil onto the bottom of the inner pot.

1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.

2. Pour 4 to 6 ounces of water (NO detergent is necessary) into the kettle.

3. Turn the power switch to the ON position to boil the water, allowing the stirrer to remove excess oil stuck on the surface.
