8. If butter was melted in the butter melter, carefully grasp the butter melter and pour the butter over the popped corn. Sprinkle
the popcorn with salt if desired.
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 3 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 for continuous popping for extended periods of time without turning it off and allowing it 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.
Place cover on unit when storing between uses.

Helpful Hints

1. This popper is designed to pop regular and premium brands of popcorn. Try different brands to find the one you like best.
Yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white.
2. Some varieties of small and lighter weight kernel popcorn are not recommended for use with this hot air popper. Refer to
any additional instructions by popcorn manufacturer.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

spices, seasoning salt, grated Parmesan cheese, butter flavored salt and much more.
