Using Your Hot Air Popcorn Popper
NEVER IMMERSE THE POPPER BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
ONLY MELT BUTTER WHILE POPPING KERNELS!
1. Before using for the first time, wash popper cover and measuring cup in
warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Remove popper cover and measuring cup from popper base. Fill the
measuring cup to the Max line with kernels and add to popping
chamber. Do not fill measuring cup past the Max line - Kernels should
be level in measuring cup. Measuring cup = 1/2 cup. Never add more
than 1 ⁄ cup of popcorn kernels to the popping chamber at one time. Do
2
not put any other ingredients such as oil, shortening, butter, margarine,
salt and sugar into popping chamber as damage
will occur.
3. Place popper cover onto base, positioning bottom edge of cover into
groove of base. The measuring cup may be used to melt butter while the
unit pops the kernels. If not melting butter, place measuring cup onto
popper cover as shown in Figure 1. If melting butter, turn measuring
cup over and place inverted onto the popper cover. Never add more
than 1/4 cup of butter to the measuring cup. Make sure butter is at
room temperature. Cut butter into 8 slices before placing in measuring
cup. Note: When using the measuring cup to measure kernels, always
wash and dry the measuring cup after each batch of popcorn when
melting butter.
4. Place a heat-proof popcorn serving bowl under the front of the popper
cover. 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 120V~60 Hz outlet and press the On/Off Switch
to On (-–).
6. Press the On/Off Switch to Off (O) and unplug when popping is
complete. 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, unplug the popper without
waiting for this corn to clear the unit.
