Using Your Hot Air Popcorn Maker:
WARNING: Avoid contact with hot surfaces.
1. Using the Measuring Scoop provided, measure 1 scoop of Popcorn Kernels and add them
to the Hot Air Inner Popper. One Scoop renders about 6-8 cups of Popcorn per batch.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the product or operate it when empty.
NOTE: The Measuring Scoop/Butter Melting Tray must always be in place while in operation
even if you choose not to melt butter. Do not operate the Popcorn Maker without it. Using
cold butter/margarine is not recommended as it will not melt during the short popping period.
2. Place a Serving Bowl under the opening of the Popping Cover. Then connect in to an outlet
and Turn the Power Switch to the "I" position to begin the popping cycle.
Attention: First use may cause a slight odor or small smoking upon heating, it is normal. This is
a result of the heating element chemical reaction. It quickly goes away.
3. Popping times vary from 2-3 minutes from when the first kernel has popped.
Note: Keep hands away from the Popping Chute as HOT un-popped kernels can occasionally
be thrown out of the Inner Popping base and miss the bowl.
4. Once the batch of popcorn has finished turn the Power Switch back to the "O" position to
turn it off and unplug the unit from the electric outlet.
5. Make sure all popping has stopped before removing cover or Butter Melting Tray. If Butter
was melted, carefully remove Melting tray using a kitchen mitt, use the tray handle to pour
butter over the Popcorn in your serving bowl. DO NOT ADD BUTTER INTO THE HOT AIR
INNER POPPER
6. Make sure the Inner Popper is empty before making more batches. Carefully empty any
kernels or bits that were left behind.
Cleaning Your Popcorn Maker:
WARNING: Always unplug the product and allow it to cool before cleaning or storing it.
• Cover and Butter Melting Tray can be washed in a dishwasher or with a soft sponge and
nonabrasive soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Reassemble and store.
• The Inner Popping base may be wiped with a damp cloth making sure water does not
enter the hot air chamber. NOTE: NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE
• Dry all parts thoroughly and assemble. Store in a cool, dry place. Away from reach of children.
Popping Hints/Recipes:
• Store popcorn in a tightly sealed container in your pantry. Do not freeze or store popcorn
kernels in the refrigerator as this can dry out the kernels and change the popping results.
• Do not overfill the Popping Chute as this can cause overheating, smoking or burnt corn. The unit
may shut off if it over heats. If overheating occurs unplug the unit from the electrical outlet,
remove cover and empty contents of the Inner Popper. Allow the popper to cool for 15 minutes
before restarting.
