Cleaning Your Theater Crazy® Popcorn Maker - West Bend THEATER CRAZY PCWBTCBK13 Instruction Manual

• If popcorn does not pop, it is usually the result of environmental factors such as the
freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances by popcorn type. Unpopped
kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance.
• Over time, salt and oil can abrade and make the cabinet walls look unattractive. It is
important to thoroughly clean and dry the cabinet after every use.
• If your popper is not heating, check that the cord from the kettle is plugged into the outlet
at the top of the cabinet.
• Burning at the bottom of your kettle is due to oil build-up. In addition to cleaning after
every use, we also recommend cleaning periodically with a non-abrasive cleanser and
scrubber.
• While we recommend using regular white or yellow popcorn, this popcorn machine
can also accommodate gourmet and organic popcorns. However, gourmet and organic
popcorns may not yield results as good as regular popcorn; you may notice an increase in
the number of unpopped kernels.
• Instead of popping with vegetable oil, try one of these healthy choices: extra virgin olive oil,
canola oil, coconut oil, corn oil, peanut oil, or sunflower oil. Specialty oils may also be used,
but some experimentation may be necessary to find the best popping results and flavor you
prefer. Do not use more than 2 tablespoons of any oil.

• Let popper cool completely before cleaning. Unplug the cabinet cord from the wall outlet.
Remove the popping kettle from the cabinet and discard any unpopped kernels. Use a
soapy dishcloth or non-abrasive scrubber to wash inside the kettle then rinse and dry
thoroughly. Do not immerse kettle in water. Remove the stir rod and kettle cover from the
cabinet. Wash the stir rod, kettle cover, measuring cup and spoon, popcorn scoop, screen,
and kernel catcher in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Wipe the interior of the popper cabinet with a damp, soapy cloth to remove any residues.
Rinse with a damp, soap-free cloth and dry thoroughly. If desired, remove the doors and
wash in warm, soapy water.
