HOW TO OPERATE
Before first use, wipe clean the interior and exterior of the KETTLE CORN
MAKER with a damp, non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly.
1.
First, find a flat surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord
is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2.
Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, sugar, seasonings and cooking oil.
3.
Plug in the appliance while switch located on the back of
the unit is flipped to the " O " OFF position.
4.
Measure 2 tablespoons of oil and pour into the Popping Chamber through the Funnel.
5.
Flip switch on the back of the unit to the " | " or Heat/Stir
position. Run for 2-3 minutes to allow oil to heat.
6.
Using the supplied Kernel Measuring Cup, add 2 ounces (¼ cup) of corn kernels through
the Funnel. DO NOT put more than 2 ounces of kernels in the KETTLE CORN MAKER.
7.
Measure 3 tablespoons of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of salt (more or less to
taste). Add to Popping Chamber through the Funnel right before the
popping begins. DO NOT add sugar too early or it will burn.
8.
DO NOT open the Flip-top Lid while the unit is turned on. Add ingredients through
the Funnel ONLY.
9.
DO NOT stand close to or over KETTLE CORN MAKER when operating.
10. After approximately one minute of popping, turn the switch on the back of the unit to the
" || " or Stir position. The unit will continue to stir the kettle corn as it finishes popping.
11. Once the popping stops, turn the switch to the " O " OFF position immediately.
12. Open the Warming Drawer.
13. While wearing oven mitts, pull the Tilt Handle forward to dispense popcorn into
Warming Drawer. You may also choose to pour kettle corn into your own serving bowl.
14. Use the included Spatula to help dispense the sugary kettle corn
from the Popping Chamber into the Warming Drawer.
15.
BE CAREFUL when removing popcorn from KETTLE CORN MAKER as unit and
ingredients get VERY HOT. Wearing oven mitts is recommended.
16. You may store kettle corn in the warming drawer as you pop another
batch. The oil will need less preheating time (approximately one
minute) for additional batches as the unit is already hot.
17. Once popping is done, turn unit OFF and unplug. Allow to cool completely, then follow
the directions in the Cleaning & Maintenance section to clean your KETTLE CORN MAKER.
