This popper uses hot air to pop the kernels. DO NOT place anything other than
popcorn kernels into the popping chamber.
1.
Open the popcorn storage chamber cover and pour fresh popcorn kernels into the
chamber. The chamber will hold approximately 28 oz. of kernels.
2.
Ensure that the bottom screen is clear of popcorn pieces before each use. (See
“Cleaning Your Popcorn on Demand Popcorn Popper” section of this manual.) Place
the popper cover on the popper. Depress the dispensing lever to dispense popcorn
kernels into the popping chamber. For a single serving of popcorn, depress the lever
once (approx. 2 tbsp. kernels). For a family-sized serving, depress the lever up to 4
times (approx. ½ cup kernels). DO NOT dispense more than 4 servings (½ cup) of
popcorn kernels at one time. DO NOT put oil, butter, shortening, salt, or anything other
than popcorn into the machine. Every time the dispensing lever is pressed, the
dispensing lever indicator light will illuminate.
Note: If too much popcorn is dispensed into the popping chamber, kernels may jam
the feed door and the dispensing lever indicator light will remain illuminated. The
popper will not operate until the jam is cleared. To clear the jam, remove the cover and
pour out the kernels in the popping chamber, then lightly tap the dispensing lever to
release jammed kernels.
Be sure to hold the corn storage lid closed when emptying the
popper.
The dispensing lever indicator light will turn off when the jam is cleared.
Replace the cover and dispense recommended amount of kernels.
3.
Place a 4 quart, or larger, heat-resistant bowl below the popcorn chute to collect
popcorn as it pops. ½ cup of popcorn kernels will yield between 3 and 4 quarts of
popped popcorn. Note: We recommend using a bowl that is at least 5.5” deep when
popping corn.
4.
Plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC outlet ONLY. Slide the function switch up to “POP.”
Never run the popper without the popcorn or the cover in place.
5.
Popcorn will begin to pop, and the cycle will be done within 2-3 minutes. NEVER
dispense additional popcorn kernels during the pop cycle. After popcorn has
completed popping, slide the function switch to “OFF.” Popcorn cycle has completed
when there is a gap of 5 seconds between kernels popping. Let the popper sit, with the
popper cover in place, for at least one minute after completion of the popping cycle.
Unpopped kernels may still pop unexpectedly. Use caution when handling the Popcorn
on Demand Popcorn Popper, it will be hot after popping cycle. Always use hot pads or
oven mitts to handle the hot appliance.
6.
If you wish to pop more batches of popcorn, remove any unpopped kernels and loose
popcorn from the popper. Press and hold the function switch to “CLEAN” to clear any
remaining kernels into the waste kernel tray, then empty it. Use oven mitts or hot pads
when handling the hot popper. Repeat steps 2-5 above.
•
A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the
release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
•
Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and
cooling – this is normal.
