HOW TO OPERATE
Before first use, clean the inside of the unit by wiping with a moist, non-abrasive
sponge, towel or cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Wipe down the
inside of the Kettle and be sure it is properly placed in the brackets before starting.
1.
First, find a flat surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord
is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2.
Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, seasonings, cooking oil, Serving
Bowl, Kernel Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon. (Serving Bowl, Kernel
Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon are included with your unit.)
3.
Plug the appliance into the wall outlet while switch is flipped to OFF position.
4.
Make sure Kettle is properly secured in the support brackets, and kettle motor cord is fully
plugged into the outlet located on the bottom side of the kettle. The kettle cord is located
on the ceiling of the unit.
NOTE: Kettle will not heat if plug is not fully inserted.
5.
Turn appliance ON by flipping the switch on the top of the machine.
Allow the appliance to run 3-5 minutes to heat up the Kettle.
6.
Turn unit OFF.
7.
Use the supplied Oil Measuring Spoon to add 3 scoops (3 tablespoons) of your favorite
popcorn cooking oil to the Kettle. For best results, it is suggested to use coconut oil.
8.
Add 1/4 cup (2 oz.) popcorn kernels to the Kettle using the supplied Kernel Measuring Cup.
NOTE: DO NOT overfill or pack kernels into Kernel Measuring Cup as this will crowd the
Kettle. Doing so may result in more unpopped kernels and cause kernels to smoke or burn.
9.
Turn the unit ON and close the door. In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin. Fresh,
hot popcorn will begin to burst out of the flip lids on the Kettle!
NOTE: Steam produced during the popping process is normal.
10. Once the kernels have stopped popping, turn the unit OFF and tip the Kettle using the red
knob on the Crank Handle to release the popcorn.
NOTE: Do not allow motor to continue to run after popcorn is done popping.
IMPORTANT: Extreme caution must be used when emptying popcorn. Always make
sure the unit is over a countertop so that residual hot oil running out will not cause burns.
11. After each batch of popcorn, check for and empty any
unpopped kernels from the Kernel Catcher.
