8. If butter was melted during popping, carefully grasp the measuring scoop by the tab 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 measuring scoop 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, empty any popped or unpopped corn from the popping chamber, and return cover to the base immediately.
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 measuring scoop 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. Insert the cord in the cord storage slot (Fig. B, page 2) and tuck the excess cord and plug in the popping chamber. Place the cover on
the unit for convenient storage.
Helpful Hints
• 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.
• 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. 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, empty any popped
or unpopped corn from the popping chamber, and return cover to the base immediately. Allow the popper to cool for about 15 minutes
before using again.
• The measuring scoop capacity is equal to ⅓ cup. Using less than one level measuring scoop full of popcorn (⅓ 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 up to 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or, for even less calories and fat, spray the popcorn with no-stick cooking
spray. Add salt, if desired. For a unique flavor, add seasonings, such as Cajun, Italian, garlic or onion powder, seasoned salt, powdered
popcorn seasonings and much more. For more delicious popcorn recipes, visit: www.GoPresto.com/recipes/popcorn/.
