Important Cord Information
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.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.
if an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. The extension 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.
Before First Use
1. Become familiar with the various
parts of the popper (Fig. A) and
read and follow the instructions
carefully.
2. Prior to making your first batch of
popcorn, clean the components as
follows:
Popper cover/serving bowl – Wash
in warm, sudsy water. Rinse and
dry thoroughly. Do not wash in an
automatic dishwasher.
Popper base – Wipe the nonstick
popping surface and stirring arm
and knob with a damp cloth.
Warning: As with any motorized
appliance, to prevent water from
damaging the motor or heating
element, the base of your new
popper should never be filled
with water, immersed in water or
other liquid, or washed in a dishwasher.
How To Use
Various quantities of popcorn can be made in the Presto  stirring popcorn popper. Refer to the chart below and determine what

*Volume of popped corn will vary depending on the type, quality, and freshness of the corn. in the chart above, there is a volume range for popped corn.
The higher side of the range is the volume produced when using fresh, gourmet, yellow popcorn, like orville Redenbacher’s
 Gourmet  yellow Popping
Corn. The smaller quantity is the volume produced when using other types of corn. yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white popcorn. in fact,
when using ¾ cup orville Redenbacher’s
 Gourmet  yellow Popping Corn, the cover may lift slightly.
