WARNING!
FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
State of California Proposition 65 requires that we include the following warning:
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
IMPORTANT CORD INFORMATION
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
IMPORTANT:
To assure proper operation, read
and follow instructions carefully.
Before using for the first time, wash the popper
cover and butter melter in warm, soapy water;
rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the popper base
with a damp cloth.
NEVER IMMERSE BASE IN WATER OR
OTHER LIQUID.
How To Use
1. Remove the cover and butter melter from the
popper base (Fig. A).
2. Using the butter melter* as your measuring scoop, fill the butter melter with popcorn until it is LEVEL.
Do not pack popcorn into
scoop or overfill.
Pour popcorn into the popping chamber.
IMPORTANT:
Never fill the popping chamber past the fill line (Fig. B) as this could result in overheating, smoking, scorched corn,
and may cause the unit to shut off. See “Important Information” on page 3.
3. Place the cover in the cover groove (Fig. B). For easiest alignment, begin by positioning the back of the cover in the groove and then
lower the cover until the sides are seated in the groove.
4. Position the butter melter on the cover with the tab towards the back of the popper (Fig. A). Never pop corn without the butter melter
in position on the cover.
If you prefer buttered popcorn, put 1 tablespoon of SOFT butter or margarine in the butter melter. Refrigerated butter will not melt
during the short popping period. Whether you melt butter or not, the butter melter must always be in position on the cover when
popping corn.
WARNING!
Do not place salt, butter, margarine, shortening, or microwave popcorn in the popping chamber as this could damage
the popper and cause a fire hazard.
5. Place a 4-quart or larger heat-proof bowl under the popping chute to collect popped corn. One batch will yield 3 to 5 quarts of popped
popcorn.
6. Plug unit into a 120VAC electrical outlet. Popping will be completed within 2 to 3 minutes after it starts popping.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave unit unattended while popping. Because the yield is so great with this popper, you may have to add a
second bowl during popping.
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 well away from the popping chute during popping.
7. Unplug the unit when popping is complete. Some popped corn may remain in the chamber after popping has stopped
§
. To prevent
scorching, unplug the popper without waiting for this corn to clear the unit.
* If you prefer to use a standard dry measuring cup, 1 butter melter scoop = ½ cup.
§ When popcorn remains in the chamber after popping and has not discharged, it is caused by variances in popcorn type, freshness, moisture content, or household current.
