HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
SMOKING
If your KETTLE POPCORN MAKER begins to smoke during cooking,
it may be due to grease build up. In order to reduce smoking, make
sure that you clean the inside of the Kettle between uses.
POPCORN
The KETTLE POPCORN MAKER is designed for all regular and premium brands
of popping corn. Yellow corn generally pops better than white corn, while
some brands of kernels have a harder outer shell and may result in fewer
popped kernels. Try different brands to find which you like best.
If you notice you are experiencing a lot of unpopped kernels, try adding
more oil to the Kettle. More oil may help pop more kernels.
Always use fresh popcorn. Dried out, stale, or old popcorn pops poorly
as it has lost its moisture content and may scorch. We recommend
storing popcorn in an airtight container in a cool place.
Occasionally popcorn does not pop. This is usually the result of environmental factors
such as freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances of popcorn
type. Unpopped kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance.
When filling the Kernel Measuring Cup, make sure to not fill above the marked line.
Underfilling can cause less kernels to pop and more unpopped kernels to come out of the
unit. Overfilling can cause popped corn to burn and smoke, as it will overfill the Kettle.
SEASONING
For more buttery popcorn or when adding seasonings, a spritz of olive oil,
water or butter will allow the seasonings to better stick to the popcorn.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT place butter, seasonings, or anything other than popcorn kernels
into the popcorn Kettle. Use of these substances may cause hazards and may damage the
unit.
