HELPFUL TIPS
POPCORN
The HOT AIR POPCORN MAKER is designed for all regular and premium
brands of popping corn. Yellow corn generally pops better than white corn,
while some brands of kernels have a harder outer shell and may result in
fewer popped kernels. Try different brands to find which you like best.
Always use fresh popcorn. Dried out, stale, or old popcorn pops poorly
as it has lost its moisture content and may scorch. We recommend
storing popcorn in an airtight container in a cool place.
Occasionally popcorn does not pop. This is usually the result of environmental factors
sush as freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances of popcorn
type. Unpopped kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance.
When filling the Kernel Measuring Cup, make sure to not fill above
the marked line. Underfilling can cause less kernels to pop and more
unpopped kernels to come out of the unit. Overfilling can cause popped
corn to burn and smoke, as it will over fill the Popping Chamber.
CAUTION: Occasionally a hot unpopped kernel may be thrown from the popping
chute. To avoid contact with hot kernels, keep your children and your face and hands a
safe distance from unit during the popping process.
SEASONING
When adding seasonings, a spritz of olive oil, water or butter will
allow the seasonings to better stick to the popcorn.
IMPORTANT
: DO NOT place oil, butter, seasonings, or anything
other than popcorn kernels into the Popping Chamber. Use of these
substances will cause hazards and will damage the unit.
