How To Use
1. Plug the popper into a 120VAC electrical outlet.
2. Open the cabinet door by placing one hand on the cabinet top and pulling the
door open by its handle. Grasp the popping chamber handle; while pressing the
handle lever, lift the popping chamber up slightly off the heating platform and
away from the back of the cabinet. Set the popping chamber on the countertop.
3. Lift open the two restrictors closest to the popping chamber handle.
NOTE:
The two restrictors closest to the handle will open completely, but the
third restrictor will only open partially. This is by design. Do not force the third
restrictor open completely.
Fill the provided ½ cup measuring cup with regular or gourmet popping corn. Be
sure it is level. Pour the corn into the popping chamber and return the restrictors
to the closed position.
IMPORTANT: Use a level ½ cup of popping corn.
Overloading the popping
chamber may cause the unit to overheat and shut off. It may also cause smoking
and scorched corn.
WARNING! Do not place salt, seasoning, butter, margarine, shortening, or micro-
wave popcorn in the popping chamber or popper cabinet as this could damage the
popper and cause a fire hazard.
4. Position the removable popping chamber on the heating platform, fitting the tab
on the base in the pocket on the back of the popper cabinet (Fig. B). While grasp-
ing the handle, firmly push the popping chamber down until you hear it lock in
place. Pull the chamber towards you to ensure it is securely in place.
IMPORTANT: For best popping performance, do not block the cabinet vent
screen (Fig. B).
5. Close the popper cabinet door and
press the “ l ” on the on/off switch to
turn the unit on. Popping will begin
in approximately 2 minutes. When
you turn the unit on, and also during
popping, you may notice popcorn
chaff releasing from the top of the
popper cabinet as a result of the hot air
blowing. This is normal.
CAUTION!
To prevent steam burns, keep
hands and face well away from the top
of the popper cabinet and the side vents
during popping.
