Dash DAPP150V2 - FRESH POP POPCORN MAKER Manual & Recipes

PARTS & FEATURES

TIPS & TRICKS

• After the first popping cycle, wait for approximately 10 to 12 minutes before using the Popcorn Maker again.
• Place a small amount of butter in the Measuring Cup during the popping process and allow the butter to melt.
• Never put the butter in the Aluminum Heat Chamber.
• If the butter isn't entirely melted after the duration of popping, leave the unit on for a few more minutes to let the hot air melt the butter.
• DO NOT exceed one Measuring Cup of kernels in one cycle as this will overfill the machine.
• DO NOT use less than the minimum amount of kernels in one cycle (1/2 Measuring Cup), as this will result in burnt popcorn.
• For best results use fresh kernels, as old kernels may dry out and be unable to pop during a cycle. If your kernels are dry, try adding them to a 12 oz sealable jar with 1 tsp of water, then seal, shake, and let sit overnight.

USING YOUR DASH POPCORN MAKER

NOTE: Wash the Popcorn Maker and parts with a damp cloth prior to use.

Dry before using.

DO NOT put butter into the Aluminum Heat Chamber.

Aluminum Heat Chamber will get very hot. NEVER insert fingers into the chamber while operating, or after use.

1. Assemble the Popcorn Maker by placing the Top Cover onto the Body until it clicks into place, then set the Popcorn Maker on a flat and stable surface.
   
2. Using the Measuring Cup, add one Measuring Cup of kernels into the Aluminum Heat Chamber through the Popcorn Inlet. Note: one cup is enough, any more will overfill the Popcorn Maker and will keep the appliance from functioning.
   
3. Put the Measuring Cup back on the Top Cover after each use. You have the option to place a tablespoon of butter into the Measuring Cup as it will melt over the duration of the popping period.
   
4. Place a large bowl under the Spout so that the edge of the bowl is touching the Body of the Popcorn Maker. Be sure that there is nothing blocking the Spout so the popcorn can eject properly.
   
5. Switch the unit on by pressing the Power Button to "On."
   
6. After a few minutes the Popcorn Maker will start making popcorn. It will continue to operate until all the kernels are popped. The popping cycle will last about 3 minutes.
   

the Popcorn Maker will heat up, refrain from touching the Top Cover or Measuring Cup as they will be very hot.

7. Once popping is complete, turn off the unit by pressing the Power Button to "Off," then unplug the unit.
   
8. Once the Popcorn Maker has cooled, carefully remove the butter-filled Measuring Cup and pour the melted butter onto the freshly popped popcorn. Mix the popcorn well to distribute the butter evenly.
   

Cleaning & maintenance

• Make sure the Popcorn Maker has cooled down completely before disassembling and cleaning.
