Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Party Fun Popper! You can now make popcorn
for your friends or the whole family in a
matter of minutes. The easy way to make
your favourite type of popcorn.
How to Make Popcorn
1 Switch off the machine and remove the lid .
2 Fill the supplied measuring cup with popping corn
(60g).
3 Pour the popping corn into the popping chamber.
Note: NEVER put less than 1 measuring cup of corn
kernels in the chamber. The maximum quantity that
can be added is 2 measuring cups (120g).
Note: Sugar, oil, butter, salt, margarine or any other
ingredients must not be put into the popcorn
chamber, since this could damage the machine.
4 Place the lid on the base of the popcorn maker. Place
the measuring cup / butter-melting bowl in position
over the hole at the top of the cover (this prevents
popped corn ejecting from the top of the unit).
5 Place a large heat resistant bowl underneath the
chute, to collect the cooked popcorn.
6 Plug into the power outlet and switch on. The
indicator light will illuminate, the motor will run and
the chamber will heat up.
Note: NEVER leave the machine unattended while in
use. Please note: the lid of cover heats up during
operation. Do not touch.
7 Switch off and unplug when the popcorn is cooked
(approximately 3 minutes)
8 Remove any unpopped kernels of corn before you are
ready to make a new batch of popcorn. Please note:
the lid heats up during operation. Leave the appliance
to cool down in order to avoid the risk of burns.
9 After two consecutive batches have been made, allow
the machine to cool down for about 10 minutes.
The machine is equipped with an automatic overheating
protection mechanism. It automatically switches off in
the case of overheating and restarts once the normal
operating temperature has once again been reached.
If you wish to add melted butter:
The measuring cup doubles as a butter melting bowl.
1 Put 2 – 3 teaspoons of butter or margarine in the
butter-melting bowl before you switch on the
popcorn machine. The butter will melt whilst the
popcorn is being cooked. Simply pour it over the
popcorn in the serving bowl.
DO NOT melt any butter or margarine in the popcorn
chamber. The popcorn maker is a hot-air device.
Putting any other ingredients into the chamber will
damage the unit and may cause injury.
2 Pour melted butter/margarine over the popcorn.
3 Stir.
4 Sprinkle with sugar, icing sugar or salt, as desired.
Cleaning and maintenance of
your popcorn maker
Ensure that the popcorn maker has been switched off
and unplugged from the power outlet before you
commence cleaning. NEVER immerse the machine in
water, cleaning agent or any other liquid.
Clean the surface with a damp cloth. Do not use scouring
agents or solvents to clean the popcorn maker.
If necessary, the cover and measuring cup may be
washed in warm, soapy water. Dry well and replace. Do
not place in the dishwasher.

Important safety advice for your popcorn
maker • Parts of the appliance heat up during use. In order to
avoid the risk of burns, DO NOT touch these hot
surfaces!
• Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
• Do not add any ingredients such as sugar, oil, butter,
salt, margarine etc. to the popcorn chamber, as this
could damage the machine.
• Before each use, ensure that the lid and the
measuring cup that doubles as a cover, are in their
correct positions.
• Never switch on the appliance when empty.
• Do not use the popcorn maker for longer than 6
minutes at a time. After two consecutive batches
have been made, leave the machine to cool down for
about 10 minutes before using again.
• Do not use this appliance for anything other than its
intended use.
• Operate on a dry, level surface; sinks, drain boards or
uneven surfaces must be avoided.
• Do not use microwave popcorn: use only traditional
popping corn kernels.
Note: Popcorn is produced when corn kernels quickly
turn inside out and expand. During this process it is
normal for some unopened kernels to be ejected
from the chute. Please be aware of this and keep
children away from the corn chute whilst the
machine is operating. Never allow children to stand
near the front, or sides of the chute.
