•
This popcorn heating will not shut off automatically. To avoid overheating, add
corn and oil before operating.
•
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
•
Do not use this appliance or the cover on the stovetop, under the broiler, or in
the freezer.
•
Extreme caution must be used when unloading popcorn. Always turn the unit

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
•
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.
•
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is
not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled by children or tripped over.

extension cord feels hot.
•
Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.

Place heating base on a flat, dry surface. The heat-resistant base allows for
safe table use.
Preparing Popcorn
Quarts of Popcorn Amount of Oil Amount of Corn Amount of Butter
2 1 Tablespoon Cup 1 Tablespoon
4 2 Tablespoons Cup 2 Tablespoons
6 2 ½ Tablespoons
**If using a gourmet/premium grade of corn, use less than amount of corn specified above. To
yield 2 quarts of popcorn, use ¼ cup corn; for 4 quarts of popcorn, use ½ cup; for 6 quarts of
popcorn, use cup. Use the same amounts of oil and butter specified above.
1. Put the proper amount of vegetable oil and corn into the heating base. Do not
add more corn or oil than recommended. Spread the corn evenly over the
popping surface. Do not substitute butter, margarine, shortening, or lard for
vegetable oil as these will burn or smoke excessively. Use oils recommended
for popcorn, as others do not yield as good results.
2. Place the cover on the heating base making sure the handles of the cover fit into
the handles of the heating base. If buttered corn is desired, divide
recommended amount of refrigerated butter into 6 equal-sized pats and place in
a single layer over the holes in the butter well. (If unrefrigerated butter is used,
add to the butter well after the first kernel of corn pops.) Popcorn will be buttered

as it pops. Do not place the butter cap on the butter well until after the corn is
popped. If unbuttered corn is desired, do not add butter to the butter well and do
not place the cap onto the butter well until after the corn is popped.
3. Ensure the selection knob is set to “OFF,” plug cord
into a 120 volt, AC outlet only. Turn the selection

end of the selection knob will point to the selection.
4. Do not shake the the Kettle Krazy™ during the popping cycle. In 6 to 8 minutes,
depending on quantity of corn being popped, the popping cycle will be
completed. The cycle is done when there is a pause of about 3 seconds
between kernels popping. Turn selection knob to “OFF,” unplug cord from wall
outlet.
5. If the butter is not completely melted in the butter well, use a pastry brush to
push any remaining butter through the holes.
6. Snap the butter cap securely onto the butter well. This cap must be on the
cover before the Kettle Krazy™ is inverted. Make sure the handles of the cover
are placed into the handles of heating base. Grasp the handles firmly and turn
the Kettle Krazy™ upside down, turning it away from you. Lift the heating base
away from the cover, being careful of escaping steam.
7. Popcorn is now ready for serving. Sprinkle the popcorn with salt if desired.
Popping Additional Batches of Popcorn - If you plan to pop more corn
immediately, transfer popcorn from the cover to another serving bowl. Let the base
cool, then follow steps 1 through 6 above.
1. Add ingredients to the Kettle Krazy™. Add an even layer of nuts to the bottom,
then dry glaze. Add liquid last. Do not roast more than 1 cup of nuts at a time.
2. Ensure the selection knob is set to “OFF,” plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC
outlet only. Turn the selection knob to “NUTS,” and the stir rod will begin to
rotate and the base will heat. Note: The stir rod will continue to stir until the
selection knob is turned to “OFF.”
3. Do not cover or shake the Kettle Krazy™ during the roasting cycle. In 6 to 8
minutes, depending on the quantity of nuts being roasted, the roasting cycle will
be completed. Turn the selection knob to “OFF,” unplug the cord from the wall
outlet.
4. Using a non-metallic spoon, scoop the nuts out of the base and transfer to a
baking sheet covered in parchment or waxed paper and let cool completely
before eating.
Roasting Additional Batches of Nuts - If you plan to roast more nuts immediately,
let the base cool, then follow steps 1 through 4 above. You may need to clean the
base before roasting additional batches of nuts. Refer to “Cleaning your Kettle
Krazy™” section.

LEANING YOUR KETTLE KRAZY
Clean your Kettle Krazy™ After Every Use - Your Kettle Krazy™ should be
cleaned after each use. Always allow heating base to cool before cleaning.
Cleaning the Cover - Wash the cover and butter cap in warm, soapy water with a
dishcloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not use scouring pad or abrasive
powder on the cover as these could cause scratching.
Cleaning the Stir Rod - Remove the stir rod from the heating base by unscrewing
the securing knob counter-clockwise. Wash the rod and securing knob with warm,
soapy water using a dishcloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Replace the stir
rod after cleaning the base, making sure it fits over the square peg on the hub.
Secure with securing knob.
Cleaning the Base - Clean the non-stick surface of the base with a damp, soapy
dishcloth, sponge or nylon-scouring pad. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and
dry. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders on non-stick finish as scratching
may occur. After roasting nuts, while the base is still warm, add warm water to soak
the sugar coating from the Kettle Krazy™, wait until it is cool and then dump out the
water. Wipe the surface with a warm, soapy dishcloth, then wipe with a damp cloth
and dry thoroughly.
After consistent use, the non-stick finish may discolor. To remove discoloration, use
a soft cloth saturated with lemon juice or vinegar and rub over finish. Then wipe the
finish with a damp cloth and dry.
DO NOT PLACE COVER, BUTTER CAP, STIR ROD, OR HEATING BASE IN AN
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
