Because a few kernels may continue to pop even after the unit is unplugged, make sure all popping has stopped before removing the
cover and butter melter. Carefully remove the cover—use hot pads—and pour the remaining popcorn into the bowl,
then immediately
place the cover back on the unit.
NOTE:
The cover is made of a costly material which absorbs heat without melting. When heated, it does soften and may change
shape temporarily if left on the counter to cool, which may make it difficult to place back on the popper base. To avoid this situation,
always return the cover to the base immediately after pouring out the popped corn.
8. If butter was melted in the butter melter, carefully grasp the butter melter by the tab and pour the butter over the popped corn. Sprinkle
the popcorn with salt if desired.
9. Before popping additional batches, make sure the popping chamber is empty. Using hot pads, remove the cover and turn the unit
upside down to remove popcorn or unpopped kernels. Wash and dry the butter melter if it was used to melt butter. Then repeat steps
2 through 9.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
This popper is thermostatically controlled. It will shut off to prevent overheating if the popping chamber is overfilled or if the popper is
used continuously for extended periods without being unplugged and allowed to cool. Should this happen, unplug the popper from the
wall outlet, remove cover, and empty any popped or unpopped corn from the popping chamber. Allow the popper to cool for about 15
minutes before using again.
How To Clean
1. Allow unit to cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the cover and butter melter in warm, soapy water.
Do not wash in dishwasher.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the corn popper
base, including the popping chamber, clean and dry with a soft dry cloth.
Never immerse the corn popper base in water or other
liquid.
Do not scour surfaces with steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
3. Place cover on unit when storing between uses.
Helpful Hints
• This popper is designed to pop regular and premium brands of popcorn. Try different brands to find the one you like best. Yellow
popcorn generally pops larger than white.
• Some varieties of small and lighter weight kernel popcorn are not recommended for use with hot air poppers. Refer to any additional
instructions by popcorn manufacturer.
• Always use fresh popcorn for the best popping performance. Store popcorn in a tightly sealed container in your pantry. Do not store
popcorn in a refrigerator or freezer as this can dry out the kernels quickly.
• Carefully select the bowl you will be using to collect popped corn. A metal bowl may become very hot to the touch due to the flow
of hot air from the chute and must be handled carefully. It will, however, tend to keep the popcorn warm. If a plastic bowl is used, be
certain it can withstand the heat caused by the warm air flow without melting.
• Never fill the popping chamber past the fill line (Fig. B, page 2). Overloading the chamber will cause overheating, smoking, scorched
corn, and may cause the unit to shut off. Should this happen, unplug the popper from the wall outlet, remove cover, and empty any
popped or unpopped corn from the popping chamber. Allow the popper to cool for about 15 minutes before using again.
• The butter melter capacity is equal to ½ cup. Using less than one level butter melter full of popcorn (½ cup) may increase the number
of unpopped kernels.
• Tipping the popper toward the bowl slightly when popping stops will help clear popped corn from the chamber.
Lite Oil Popcorn Recipe
