Questions and Answers
How can I get salt and other seasoning to stick to my popcorn so it has more
flavor?
Before adding salt or seasoning, lightly spray popcorn in baskets with no stick
cooking spray. Salt and seasoning will adhere better and give the popcorn more
flavor.
My popper shuts off immediately after I turn it on, and I notice a scorched corn
odor. Why?
You are using more than 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. Should the unit shut off, press the “
O
” on the on/off switch and
remove the popping chamber from the heating platform. Empty any popped or
unpopped corn from the chamber. Allow the popper to cool for 15 minutes before
using again; be sure to use the measuring cup provided.
My popper turns on, but my popcorn doesn’t pop and I can smell scorched corn.
What is happening?
You may not have the popping chamber correctly positioned on the heating platform.
For proper positioning, be sure to fit the tab on the base in the pocket on the back
of the popper cabinet (Fig. B). While grasping 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.
