BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging and any promotional labels
or stickers from your popcorn maker. Be sure
that all parts (listed in Parts and Features) of your
new popcorn maker have been included before
discarding any packaging materials. You may
want to keep the box and packing materials for
use at a later date.
Before using your Cuisinart

POPPING
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Be sure that the popcorn maker has been
assembled properly before plugging in
and popping.
2.
Plug the main power cord into an
electrical outlet.
3.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil (vegetable, canola,
corn, peanut or safflower oil) and ½ cup of
corn kernels to the kettle; lower the lid.
Note:
Use 2 scoops of the oil measuring spoon
provided and 2 scoops of the kernel measuring
cup provided.
4. Turn the power switch to the ON position.
Note: You do not need to allow the kettle to
heat up beforehand.
5.
After approximately 3 minutes, popcorn will
start to pop up and out of the lid.
6.
When the unit is finished popping – you will
no longer hear the corn popping – immedi-
ately turn the power switch to the OFF posi-
tion and press down on the kettle release tab
located on the right of the housing to release
the kettle. This will allow the excess popcorn
to fall from the kettle.

Before scooping popcorn, return the kettle
to the upright position by using the kettle
handle.
CAUTION: KETTLE IS HOT.
8.
Use the popcorn scoop to remove the pop-
corn from the unit.

After the popcorn has been removed from
the unit, remove the screen of the kernel
catcher at the bottom of the unit. Remove
the tray and discard the unpopped kernels.
10.
Remove plug from the power supply if the
unit will not be used for additional batches.
11.
Repeat steps 3 through 9 for additional
batches.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
After using the popcorn maker, let it cool
completely. Use a wet cloth to clean the housing

It is strongly recommended to clean the kettle
frequently to avoid burning excess oil onto the
bottom of the inner pot.
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
2.
Pour 4 to 6 ounces of water (NO detergent is
necessary) into the kettle.
3.
Turn the power switch to the ON position to
boil the water, allowing the stirrer to remove
excess oil stuck on the surface.
4.
After about 1 to 2 minutes of boiling, allow
to cool, then pour water into a deep bowl
and discard.
CAUTION: THE KETTLE IS HOT.
You may also remove the kettle and clean it with
a nonabrasive scouring pad. Do not immerse
