   Be sure to open the Popcorn Maker so the steam escapes away from you, as steam will be hot. Use oven gloves or a towel.
   NOTE: Please wait approximately 10-12 minutes before using the Popcorn Make again, otherwise it will overheat.

TIP: If kernels are not popping as much as desired, try soaking them in water for 10 minutes to add moisture. This can also result in fluffier popcorn.
Note: If popcorn is old and completely dry, it will not pop.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Be sure to allow the Popcorn Maker to cool before cleaning. Remove the Stirring Rod from the Base by unscrewing the Rotary Knob (Fig. 8).

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used:

1. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product;
2. the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
