HOW TO OPERATE
Before first use, clean the Bowl and Lid by removing Lid from Bowl and wiping both with a
moist, non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a non-abrasive dry towel.
Remove the Stirring Rod from the Base by turning Center Knob counterclockwise. Wipe
the Stirring Rod and Base with a moist, non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth and then
wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Replace the Stirring Rod and make sure the rod fits
into the notched area around the screw. Secure by turning Center Knob clockwise.
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,
cooking oil, and measuring spoon for oil.
3. Measure 2 tablespoons of oil and add to the nonstick Base (oil may also be
added through ventilation slots while corn kernels are popping).
4. Using the Measuring Cup supplied with your STIR-POP POPCORN MAKER,
add up to 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of corn kernels. The Kernel Measuring Cup is 2
ounces, so you may fill the Measuring Cup 2 times and place kernels in the
nonstick Base. DO NOT exceed 4 ounces total of popcorn kernels.
5. For every Measuring Cap full of kernels (2 oz.), add 1 tablespoons of oil. For best
results, soft-shelled popping corn and vegetable or canola oil is recommended.
6. Always remove Lid while kernels are popping. This will allow steam to vent through the top.
7. Plug in the appliance while switch is flipped to OFF position.
8. Turn appliance ON by flipping the switch on the back of the Base.
In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin.
9. Once popping stops, turn unit OFF, then unplug.
10. Secure the Lid to the top of the Bowl.
11. While wearing oven mitts, flip the Bowl over, remove Base and you
will have hot, fresh and delicious popcorn ready to serve!
