Getting Acquainted

Before using your PowerPop
This popper was specially designed to work in most microwave ovens. If your microwave has a removable tray or turntable, be sure
the tray or turntable is in place whenever you use your PowerPop
Your microwave popper has been tested in a wide variety of microwave ovens and found to work superbly. However, the function and
condition of microwave ovens may vary greatly. Be sure you check the operating manual for your microwave oven to see if popping
popcorn is permitted.
During each use of the popper, we ask that you do the following:
a. Check that the microwave oven is clean and free of food/grease residue according to manufacturer's instructions.
b. Remain near the microwave oven during the popping period.
c. Look through the window of the microwave oven throughout the popping period.
d. If you notice anything unusual (e.g., a peculiar odor, sparking, etc.), immediately turn off and unplug your microwave oven.
Leave the microwave oven door closed. If you encounter any issues with the use of your PowerPop
please call the Presto Consumer Service Department at 1-800-877-0441.
Become familiar with the various parts of the unit (Fig. A) and read the
instructions carefully. Before initial use and after each subsequent use,
remove the popping bowl from the PowerBase concentrator by rotating
the bowl either clockwise or counterclockwise until the locking tabs on
the bowl are no longer aligned with the locking tabs on the base. Lift the
popping bowl off the base and wash the bowl and cover in warm, sudsy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The popping bowl and cover are also
dishwasher safe. Do not immerse the PowerBase concentrator in water.
Wipe the PowerBase concentrator with a damp cloth to clean.

crisp, fluffy popcorn in a few minutes. It also minimizes the number of
unpopped kernels. Although the PowerCup

the concentrator when either you are getting more unpopped kernels than usual or if the top layer of the concentrator is cracked or torn.

How To Use

1. Attach the popping bowl to the PowerBase concentrator. Position the popping bowl locking tabs in the grooves on the PowerBase

occasionally stick together). Push it down, so it is seated securely against the bottom of the popping bowl.
3. For oil-popped corn, pour ⅓ cup popping corn onto the concentrator. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons
of oil over corn. If desired, sprinkle with salt.
For corn similar to air-popped corn (without oil), pour ⅓ cup popping corn onto the concentrator.
It is not recommended that salt be added prior to popping as it will not stick to the corn.
For butter-flavored popcorn, pour ⅓ cup popping corn onto the concentrator. Drizzle 1 to 2
tablespoons of butter-flavored oil over corn. If desired, sprinkle with salt.
4. Put the cover on the popping bowl and place in the center of the microwave oven. All microwave
ovens do not perform alike and you may find that the popper may perform better if placed off
center in your microwave.
