Hot Air Popcorn Popper Use and Care Guide
Using Your Hot Air Popcorn Popper
(Cont.)
4. Place a heat-proof popcorn serving bowl under the Chute. If a plastic
bowl is used, be sure it will withstand heat without melting. A metal
bowl may become hot to the touch, but it will tend to keep the
popcorn warmer.
5. Plug unit into a 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet and press the On/Off Switch to
On (I). Note: The butter lid may be used to melt butter while the unit pops the
kernels. Only melt butter while popping kernels. Never add more than
1
⁄
4
cup of butter to the butter lid. For best results, cut butter into
1
⁄
2
slices before
placing in butter lid. Always wash and dry the butter lid, if used to melt butter,
before using to measure kernels.
Maintain adequate distance from popper during operation to prevent
contact with hot kernels that could possibly bounce out of the bowl.
6. When the popper has completed popping, press the On/Off Switch
to Off (O) and unplug the unit. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT
EMPTY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MELT BUTTER WITHOUT
POPCORN IN CHAMBER.
Due to variances in the popcorn type,
freshness and moisture content, some popped or unpopped kernels
may remain in the chamber after the popping has stopped.
To prevent scorching, press the On/Off Switch to Off (O) and
unplug the popper without waiting for this corn to clear the unit.
CAUTION: AS KERNELS MAY CONTINUE TO POP EVEN AFTER
UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, MAKE SURE ALL POPPING HAS
STOPPED BEFORE REMOVING COVER.
CAUTION: USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT
SURFACES OF THE UNIT. TO AVOID TEMPORARY
MALFORMATION OF THE COVER, ALLOW IT TO COOL ON
THE UNIT BASE AFTER POPPING.
7. For additional batches, unplug unit. Make sure the popping
chamber is empty. Carefully remove excess popcorn or left over
unpopped kernels. Then repeat steps 2 through 6. Note: When
popping more than one batch of corn, allow the popper to cool down for at least
10 minutes.

Helpful Hints
◆
This popcorn popper is designed to pop regular and premium
brands of popcorn. Try different brands to find the one you like
best. Yellow kernels generally pop larger than white. One butter lid
of unpopped kernels will yield approximately 2 quarts of popcorn.
◆
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 use more than 1 level butter lid of kernels per batch.
◆
Never add salt, sugar or other flavorings into popping chamber.
