•
Always use fresh popcorn. Dried out, stale, or old popcorn pops poorly as it has
lost its moisture content and may scorch.
•
This popcorn popper can accommodate both regular and premium popcorns.
Premium and gourmet popcorns do not yield results as good as regular
popcorn. If premium or gourmet popcorn is used, you may notice an increase in
the number of unpopped kernels.
•
This popper pops using hot air. It does not require any oils or fats to pop the
corn, and they should never be used in the popper.
DO NOT
use microwave
popcorn.
•
If popcorn does not pop, it is usually the result of environmental factors such as
the freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances by popcorn
type. Unpopped kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance.
•
To use the cord wrap, wind the cord around the post at the bottom of the
appliance for easy, tangle-free storage.
