InstructIons:
Before using the popcorn maker for the first time, it’s advisable to clean the unit and all included accessories.
When finished, wipe the appliance down with a soft, dry cloth. For detailed cleaning instructions, see ‘Cleaning’
section in this manual.
First find a stable place near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure the cord is away from any water
source.
1. Fill one level measuring cup (80grams / 2.8 oz.) with your favourite popcorn kernels. (See image 8)
IMPORTANT
a. Always use a level measuring cup (80 grams / 2.8 oz.).
b. Under filling the measuring cup can increase the number of un-popped kernels.
c. Over filling the measuring cup can cause popcorn to burn, smoke or damage the appliance.
d. Do not add butter, margarine, oil or toppings to the popping chamber as it will damage the appliance.
2. Slowly pour entire cup of kernels down the hole on the top of the unit until cup is empty. (see Image 9)
3. Place a bowl or dish under the popcorn opening to allow popcorn to fill the bowl. We recommend a large bowl.
4. Plug unit into outlet.
5. Turn the power switch to the ON position.
6. Once all the kernels have popped turn the power switch to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT:
Do not allow unit to run for longer than 4 minutes.
7. Using oven mitts or pot-holders and carefully remove the measuring cup (if used) and pour butter, or
margarine directly over the popped popcorn.
note:
If a few pieces of popcorn remain in the popping chamber after popping has stopped, you can remove
the top using oven mitts or pot-holders and pour the popcorn into the bowl. NOTE: The top will be hot!
Use CAUTION. DO NOT insert your hand into the popping chamber.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR REPEATED USE
•
ALWAYS allow 15 minutes between popping cycles; this allows the machine to cool down to avoid overheating
and maintains the ideal temperature for making popcorn.
•
REMOVE ALL UNPOPPED OR LEFTOVER POPCORN FROM THE BASE before popping an additional
batch.
•
Note the unit is equipped with a safety thermostat to prevent the unit from damage or overheating, therefore
the unit will not operate until it has cooled off(~15 minutes).
ImPortant notes about corn kernels
•
This popcorn maker is designed for all regular and premium brands of popcorn.
•
Also, yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white popcorn.
•
Organic popcorn and popping kernels specifically to be used in oil poppers are not
recommended for this appliance.
•
Please note to always use fresh popcorn. Older or stale popcorn can scorch and cause smoking.
•
Once the package of corn kernels is opened, we suggest it is used completely or stored in an
airtight container in the fridge.
•
NEVER put any seasoning or oil in the popcorn popping chamber. ALWAYS season your popped
popcorn after popping is completed and your bowl is removed.
