The MINI RETRO POPCORN MAKER™ is a technologi-
cally advanced hot air popcorn popper that pops more
kernels than many other popcorn makers.
This convenient tabletop-size electric popcorn popper
uses air instead of oil, producing perfectly popped pop-
corn with less kernels to bite into. Air-popped popcorn
is a deliciously healthy low-fat snack.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The MINI RETRO POPCORN MAKER™ is easy to use.
Just follow these simple instructions.
After Taking the Unit Out of the Box
- Your MINI RETRO POPCORN MAKER™ is already
fully assembled. Before first use, lift the top housing
off of the main body and wipe clean the inside of the
unit with a non-abrasive moist sponge or a non-abra-
sive moist towel. Wipe dry with a non-abrasive towel.
- After cleaning the inside, put the top housing back
onto the base. Now you are ready to enjoy freshly
popped popcorn!
IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER USE OIL, BUTTER, OR
MICROWAVE POPCORN WITH THIS UNIT AS THESE
COULD START A FIRE!
Popping Popcorn
First, find a stable place near an electrical outlet before
starting. (Make sure your cord is away from any water
source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an extension
cord).
1. Take off the top and fill with kernels up to the
marked arrow line (as seen below). The kernels
should cover the surface of the top with one, sin-
gular layer. It is important not to underfill or overfill
the kernel cap. Underfilling the top can cause less
kernels to pop and more hard kernels to come out
of the unit during popping. Overfilling can cause
popped popcorn to burn and smoke as it will overfill
the popping chamber.
2. Pour the kernels down into the circular base of the
motor.
3. Place the top back in its place.
4. Place a bowl or dish under the popcorn opening to
allow popcorn to fill the bowl.

NOTE: When selecting a bowl, make sure to use one
that is large enough and will fit under the popcorn
chute.
5. Plug unit into outlet.
6. Turn unit the unit ON by flipping the power button
on the side of the unit. In just minutes, you will have
freshly popped popcorn to perfection!
7. When kernels have fully popped, turn the unit OFF.
You can tip the popcorn maker forward at this point
to make sure you get all the popcorn out of the
machine.
8. Eat popcorn as is or top with your favorite toppings
such as:
• Salt and Pepper
• Seasoning Salts
• Butter or Margarine
• Caramel
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Food Coloring for fun
• Parmesan Salt...
IMPORTANT – Always allow 15 minutes between
popping cycles for the machine to cool. This will
ensure the unit does not overheat and works
effectively.
CLEANING
1. Allow unit to cool at least 15 minutes before lifting
the top housing to clean the unit.
2. Use a slightly damp non-abrasive sponge or a non-
abrasive towel to wipe clean. Make sure to then dry
by wiping with a non-abrasive dry towel.
3. Reassemble top housing to base of unit and store.

RECIPES AND TIPS

SELECTING THE RIGHT POPCORN
The MINI RETRO POPCORN MAKER™ is designed for
all regular and premium brands of popcorn. Please
note that yellow popcorn generally pops larger than
white popcorn. Organic popcorn will work, but is not
highly recommended for this machine as less kernels
will pop.
Make sure to use fresh popcorn kernels, as older, dried
popcorn can scorch and cause smoking in the unit.
• Here's a tip:
If your popcorn is old and dried out, you can freshen
it by putting the kernels into an air tight container
and leaving some space for shaking. Put 1 teaspoon
of water into the container for each cup of popcorn.
Shake twice a day for 3 days leaving the container in
the refrigerator. The kernels should be fresh again and
ready to go at this time.
You can enjoy any flavor popcorn - in your own home
– with the MINI RETRO POPCORN MAKER™. Here are
some sample ideas/recipes to get you started.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never put any seasoning or
oil in the popcorn popping chamber at any time.
Always season your popped popcorn after the
popcorn has been popped and removed from The
MINI RETRO POPCORN MAKER™.
