Getting Acquainted

Before using your Presto ®
This popper was specially designed to work in most microwave ovens. There are however a few ultra-compact models, with cavity
sizes less than 6 inches tall by 10 inches wide, in which it will not fit. If your microwave has a removable tray or turntable, be
sure the tray or turntable is in place whenever you use your PowerPop
Make sure your microwave oven is compatible with the Presto
tested in a wide variety of microwave ovens and found to work superbly. However, the function and condition of microwave ovens
may vary greatly. Because there have been literally hundreds of different model microwave ovens produced over the last twenty
years, it was not possible to test the popper in every microwave oven. 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 notice anything unusual about the PowerPop
the Presto Consumer Service Department at 1-800-877-0441. If there is a problem relating to the function of your microwave
oven, please call an authorized service center identified by the microwave oven manufacturer.
