How to Use Your Popcorn Maker
BEFORE FIRST USE:
Before using your appliance for the first time, be sure to:
1.
Remove all packaging and labels or stickers from your popcorn maker. Be sure that all parts (listed above) of your new
popcorn maker have been included before discarding any packaging materials. (You may want to keep the box and packing
materials for use at a later date.)
2.
Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and the switches are in the “OFF” position.
3.
Wipe housing and internal chamber of main unit with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
Wash the accessories (measuring
cup, tablespoon & tray) in hot, soapy water. Clean the internal surface of the kettle with warm soapy water, rinse well and
dry with clean cloth. (NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN ANY LIQUIDS).
4.
Thoroughly dry all accessories and follow instructions for assembly.
TIP: NEVER USE BUTTER OR MARGARINE IN THE POPPING KETTLE. This will cause popcorn to burn and create an
unpleasant residue.
POPPING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Make sure the popcorn maker is unplugged before you do any of the following:
2.
Before using the unit, please check carefully to be sure voltage (AC120V ~60Hz) is suitable to your home.
3.
Clean the internal surface of the kettle with warm soapy water, rinse well and dry with clean cloth. (MAKE SURE TO NEVER IMMERSE
THE KETTLE IN ANY LIQUIDS). Wipe down inner and outer surfaces of the main popcorn unit with damp cloth.
4.
Main popcorn unit has 2 function switches as follows:
- LLIGHT: to turn the internal light bulb on.
- P
POP: to turn the stirring stick motor & heater on.
5.
Install popping kettle by hooking the kettle onto the Kettle Hooks inside the main popcorn unit (see step 1 on page 5).
6.
Insert the internal kettle plug into the socket on the ceiling inside the main popcorn unit unit (see step 2 on page 5).
7.
Plug the external power cord into an electric wall outlet.
8.
Before pouring oil or kernels into the kettle, lift lid using the lid tab. Add oil (1 tablespoon of vegetable, corn, peanut, or coconut oil).
CAUTION: NEVER use butter or margarine in the kettle when popping kernels. This will cause the popcorn to burn
and create an unpleasant residue.
9.
Turn both LIGHT & POP switches to ON position. The light, heater and motor will be on. Let the kettle preheat the oil for approximately 2
to 3 minutes. Turn the POP switch to off position and add 1/3 cup of corn kernels (Note: 1/3 measuring cup included) and close lid to the
kettle. Close the plexi-door. Turn POP switch back on, stirrer will begin to rotate and heater will heat up the oil and corn. CAUTION: Lid
might be hot – it is recommended to use an oven mitt.
10.
Popcorn starts popping out through the lid after about 2 minutes.
11.
When unit is finished popping – you will no longer hear the corn popping – immediately turn the POP switch to the OFF position and pull
down the handle bar of the kettle to release any remaining popcorn in the popper. This will also stop the remaining popcorn from cooking
any further and avoid possible burning.
12.
Keep POP switch off if the unit is not in use. Always allow the kettle to cool-down approximately 5-10 minutes between continuous
batches of three. This will avoid over-heating the kettle
13.
Remove plug from power supply when the unit is not being used.
