During each use of the popper, we ask that you do the following:
a. Check that the microwave oven is clean and free of food/grease residue according to manufacturer’s instructions.
b. Remain near the microwave oven during the popping period.
c. Look through the window of the microwave oven throughout the popping period.
d. If you notice anything unusual (e.g., a peculiar odor, sparking etc.), immediately turn off and unplug your microwave oven. Leave
the microwave oven door closed. If you notice anything unusual about the PowerPop
microwave popper, please call the Presto
Consumer Service Department at 1-800-877-0441. If there is a problem relating to the function of your microwave oven, please call
an authorized service center identified by the microwave oven manufacturer.
Before using your Presto
PowerPop
multi-popper, study the diagram below to become familiar with the various parts of the unit and read
the instructions carefully. Before initial use and after each subsequent use, remove the popping bowl from the PowerBase
concentrator by
rotating the bowl either clockwise or counterclockwise until the locking tabs on the bowl are no longer aligned with the locking tabs on
the base. Lift the popping bowl off the base and wash the bowl and cover in warm, sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly, or wash in the
dishwasher. Do not immerse the PowerBase
concentrator in water. Wipe the PowerBase
concentrator with a damp cloth to clean.
Replaceable PowerCup
Concentrators
The Presto
PowerPop
microwave multi-
popper is the first microwave popper that
really works. Its secret is the
combination
of the permanent PowerBase
concentrator
with the replaceable Power Cup
concentrator. Apart, neither pops corn well;
together, however, they pop corn superbly.
Although the PowerCup
concentrator
is a disposable part, it is designed for
multiple uses. The number of uses will
vary from microwave to microwave
with up to 12 batches when using the
popper with oil and up to 24 batches when using the popper without oil. You will know it is time to replace the
concentrator when either you are getting more unpopped kernels than usual or if the top layer of the concentrator
is cracked or torn. For more information on the use and care of the PowerCup
concentrator, see pages 4
and 5.
There is a package of PowerCup
concentrators packed inside your popper. Additional packages should be available wherever
the poppers are sold. You may also order them directly from Presto. See the order form on page 8.
Important: Use only genuine Presto
PowerCup
concentrators. Use of any other concentrator or microwave crisp-
ing paper will damage your Presto
PowerPop
multi-popper and void its warranty.
You will know the concentrator
is genuine by the target on its face.
How To Use
Follow these easy steps:
Step 1
Attach the popping bowl to the PowerBase
concentrator by positioning the popping bowl
locking tabs in the grooves on the PowerBase
concentrator, Fig. A. Rotate the popping bowl
clockwise or counter-clockwise until it locks into place. The bowl’s tabs will be underneath
the base’s locking tabs.
Step 2
Place a Presto
PowerCup
concentrator in the popping bowl. Be certain you are using
only one
concentrator (concentrators may occasionally stick together). Push it down, so it
is seated tightly against the bottom of the inside of the popping bowl.
Important: Use only
genuine Presto
PowerCup
concentrators. Use of any other concentrator or microwave
crisping paper will damage your Presto
PowerPop
multi-popper.
