HOW TO OPERATE
Before first use, clean the inside of the unit by wiping with a moist, non-abrasive
sponge, towel or cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Wipe down the
inside of the Kettle and be sure it is properly placed in the brackets before starting.
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, seasonings, bowls or bags for holding
the popcorn, cooking oil, Kernel Measuring Cup (H1) and Oil Measuring Spoon (H2).
(Kernel Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon are included with your unit.)
3.
Plug in the appliance while switch is flipped to OFF position.
4.
Make sure Kettle is properly secured in support brackets.
5.
Make sure Kettle motor is fully plugged into the outlet located on the bottom
side of the kettle. NOTE: Kettle will not heat if plug is not fully inserted.
6.
Turn appliance ON by flipping the switch on the top of the machine (see illustration above
for location of switches). Allow the appliance to run 3-5 minutes to heat up Kettle.
7.
Turn unit OFF.
8.
Use the Oil Measuring Spoon (H2) supplied to add 1 tablespoon of your favorite popcorn
cooking oil to the Kettle. For best popping results, it is suggested to use vegetable oil.
9.
Add popcorn kernels to the Kettle using supplied Kernel Measuring Cup (H1).
NOTE: If you are using pre-measured packages of corn kernels or popcorn making
kits, you must still measure out the corn kernels and oil using the supplied Kernel
Measuring Cup (H1) and Oil Measuring Spoon (H2). Always follow this rule: 1 Tbsp. oil
+ 2-oz. popcorn = 8 cups popcorn. (DO NOT exceed 2.5 oz. of popcorn kernels.)
10. Turn the unit ON and close the door. In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin. Fresh,
hot popcorn will begin to burst out of the flip lids on the Kettle - just like at the theater!
11. Use your Popcorn Scoop to scoop and serve.
