Electric hot air popper

9. Before popping additional batches, make sure the popping chamber is empty. Using hot pads, remove the cover and turn the unit
upside down to remove popcorn or unpopped kernels. Wash and dry the butter melter if it was used to melt butter. Then repeat steps
2 through 9.

Important Information:

This popper is thermostatically controlled. It will shut off to prevent overheating if the popping chamber is overfilled or if the popper is
used continuously for extended periods without being unplugged and allowed to cool.
Should this happen, unplug the popper from the wall outlet, remove cover, and empty any popped or unpopped corn from the popping
chamber. Allow the popper to cool for about 15 minutes before using again.

How To Clean

1. Allow unit to cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the cover and butter melter in warm, soapy water. Do not wash in dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Wipe the corn popper base, including the popping chamber, clean and dry with a soft dry cloth. Never immerse the corn popper
base in water or other liquid. Do not scour surfaces with steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
3. Place cover on unit when storing between uses.

Helpful Hints

• This popper is designed to pop regular brands of popcorn. Try different brands to find the one you like best. Yellow popcorn generally
pops larger than white.
• This popper can also pop premium brands of popcorn; however, like other poppers designed to pop standard corn, the popper may not
perform as well with premium brands, and you may get more unpopped kernels than with regular corn.
• Some varieties of small and lighter weight kernel popcorn are not recommended for use with hot air poppers. Refer to any additional
instructions by popcorn manufacturer.
• Always use fresh popcorn for the best popping performance. Store popcorn in a tightly sealed container in your pantry. Do not store
popcorn in a refrigerator or freezer as this can dry out the kernels quickly.
• Carefully select the bowl you will be using to collect popped corn. A metal bowl may become very hot to the touch due to the flow
of hot air from the chute and must be handled carefully. It will, however, tend to keep the popcorn warm. If a plastic bowl is used, be
certain it can withstand the heat caused by the warm air flow without melting.
• Never fill the popping chamber past the fill line (Fig. B, page 2). Overloading the chamber will cause overheating, smoking, scorched
corn, and may cause the unit to shut off. Should this happen, unplug the popper from the wall outlet, remove cover, and empty any
popped or unpopped corn from the popping chamber. Allow the popper to cool for about 15 minutes before using again.
• The butter melter capacity is equal to ¼ cup. Using less than two level butter melters full of popcorn (½ cup) may increase the number
of unpopped kernels.
• Tipping the popper toward the bowl slightly when popping stops will help clear popped corn from the chamber.
Toss popped corn with 3 to 5 teaspoons of vegetable oil. Add salt if desired. For a
more unique flavor, add seasonings, such as Cajun spices, seasoning salt, grated
Parmesan cheese, butter-flavored salt and much more.
