IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
This popper is thermostatically controlled. It will shut off to prevent overheating if the popping chamber is overfilled. Should this
happen, turn off and unplug the popper from the wall outlet, remove the cover, empty any popped or unpopped corn from the pop-
ping chamber, and return the cover to the base immediately. Allow the popper to cool for about 15 minutes before using again.
How to Clean
1. Allow the popper to cool before cleaning.
2. Both the cover and butter melter can be washed in warm, soapy water, rinsed, and dried thoroughly.
Do not wash in the
dishwasher
or scour plastic surfaces with steel wool or abrasive cleaners. Because of the nature of hot air popping, the cover
seldom needs to be washed, while the melter only needs washing if it is used to melt butter or margarine.
3. Wipe the popper base, including the popping chamber, with a soft, dry cloth to clean. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
Never immerse the popper base in water or other liquid.
Occasionally clean the bottom of the rubber feet with a damp cloth to
remove any dust or debris.
4. Place the cover on the popper base and wind the cord around the built-in cord wrap for convenient storage (Fig. A, page 2).
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 addi-
tional instructions by popcorn manufacturer.
• Always use fresh popcorn for the best popping performance. Store popcorn in a tightly sealed container. 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 overfill the popping chamber. Overloading the chamber will cause overheating, smoking, scorched corn, and may cause the
unit to shut off. Should this happen, turn off and unplug the popper from the wall outlet, remove the cover, empty any popped or
unpopped corn from the popping chamber, and return the cover to the base immediately. 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.
