OpErATINg INSTruCTIONS
1. Remove Popcorn Popper lid and measuring cap/butter tray. Fill one level measuring cap
with kernels and add to popping chamber. One level measuring cap of popcorn kernels
= 1 ⁄
3
cup.
CAUTION: Never add more than 1 measuring cap or 1 ⁄
3
cup of popcorn kernels
to the popping chamber at one time. Do not put any other ingredients such as oil,
shortening, butter, margarine, salt or sugar into popping chamber as damage will occur.
Do not overfill.
2. Place Popcorn Popper lid onto the Popcorn Popper base, positioning bottom edge
of Popcorn Popper lid into grooves of the base. Place measuring cap/butter tray
onto Popcorn Popper Lid.
CAUTION: Never pop corn without Popcorn Popper lid and measuring cap/butter tray
in position.
3. Place a 4-qt. or larger bowl or rectangular container under the chute. The bowl should
not be more than 6 inches high, so that air can circulate freely under the chute.
Choose a heat-proof bowl. If a plastic bowl is used, be sure it will withstand heat without
melting. A metal bowl may become hot to the touch, but it will tend to keep the popcorn
warmer.
4. Plug unit into a 120 V AC outlet and press the ON/OFF switch to ON (|).
5. Using the measuring cap to melt butter:
The measuring cap/butter tray may be used to melt butter while the unit pops the kernels.
For best results, cut butter into 1 ⁄
4
-inch slices before placing in measuring cap.
Allow butter to come to room temperature. Never add more than 1 ⁄
4
cup of butter
to the measuring cap. Use the handle of the cap to remove melted butter
from the Popcorn Popper lid.
Always wash and dry the measuring cap/butter tray after each batch of buttered popcorn.
Always use a clean measuring cap to measure kernels.
6. Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF (O) and unplug the unit when popping is complete.
CAUTION: Never operate the Popcorn Popper when empty.
7. Due to variances in the popcorn type, freshness and moisture content, some popped
or unpopped kernels may remain in the popping chamber after the popping has stopped.
To prevent scorching, unplug the Popcorn Popper without waiting for this corn
to clear the unit.
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 HOT AIR
POPCORN POPPER. ALLOW POPCORN POPPER LID TO COOL ON THE POPPER
BASE AFTER POPPING.
