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 and pour popcorn into the popping
chamber. Fill scoop again and pour into popping chamber.*
Do not
pack popcorn into scoop or overfill
.
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 the Important Information near
the bottom of this page.
3.
Place the cover in the cover groove, see 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 up
to 2 tablespoons 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.
IMPORTANT:
Do not place salt, butter, margarine, shortening, or microwave popcorn in the
popping chamber.
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 approximately 3 minutes after it starts 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. 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 if allowed to
cool on the counter, may take a temporary set, 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 for continuous popping for extended periods of time without turning it off and allowing it 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.
WHEN ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS,
PLEASE SPECIFY MODEL NUMBER
STAMPED ON BOTTOM OF POPPER BASE.
Note: The butter melter is located in the top filler of the carton.
* If you prefer to use a standard dry measuring cup, 2 butter melter scoops = 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.
