Polarized Plug
The popcorn popper has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended
to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to modify the plug in any
way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels
warm, DO NOT use that outlet.
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product, but
if necessary, the marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product. Arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped
over or pulled. DO NOT modify the plug and/or extension cord with this appliance, including any of
the prongs on the plug.

Before using your popcorn popper for the first time:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Unpack your popcorn popper and make sure all parts are in good condition and ready to use.
3. Wash the popcorn popper’s chute and measuring cup/butter scoop in mild, warm soapy
water and dry thoroughly.
4. Clean the base of the popcorn popper with a clean damp cloth.
5. Select a flat, level and heat-resistant surface to place your popcorn popper and ensure the
power cord is routed away from the popcorn popper’s heating surfaces.
Using Your Popcorn Popper
CAUTION: Always ensure the chute and measuring cup/butter scoop are in place and your
popcorn popper is loaded with corn kernels before plugging the unit into the outlet.
NOTE: Your popcorn popper will begin heating as soon as it is plugged in. DO NOT fill the popping
engine beyond the fill line or run your machine continuously as this could cause your popcorn
popper to overheat and engage the automatic shut-off function. Allow your popcorn popper to
cool briefly between batches by unplugging it for a few minutes. If the popcorn popper goes into
automatic shut-off mode, unplug the unit from the outlet and allow it to cool. To avoid overheating,
the popcorn popper should not be used for more than 9 continuous times.
1. Remove the chute and multipurpose measuring cup/butter scoop from the popcorn popper.
Pour a level measuring cup of popcorn kernels into the popping engine.
NOTE: DO NOT overpack the multipurpose cup. Doing so may cause overheating, burning of
kernels or automatic shut-off. DO NOT use microwave popcorn in your popcorn popper.
2. Reinstall the chute by sliding it into the slot on the base and gently pushing down to set
it into place. Return the multipurpose cup to its place on the top of the chute with the tab
toward the back of the machine and add butter or seasoning if desired. We recommend
slicing butter into thin slices for the best melting results. DO NOT overfill the cup with butter.
Doing so will result in melted butter spilling over the edge of the cup and onto your popcorn
popper.
NOTE: Never add liquid, butter, fat, seasonings or anything other than popcorn kernels to the
popping engine.
3. Ready a heat-resistant bowl that is large enough to hold 18 cups of popcorn, beneath the
chute. Check to make sure that the popcorn popper’s chute and multipurpose cup are
securely in place, then plug the popcorn popper into a 120V AC outlet.
NOTE: The cup must be in place to prevent stray kernels from flying out of the popping
engine. Stray kernels may also exit through the chute, along with popcorn. For your safety,
AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 [email protected]

10
DO NOT stand in front of the chute while the popcorn popper is heating up or popping.
4. The popcorn popper will require a few minutes to heat up. Within 2 to 3 minutes after it
starts popping, the popcorn popper will finish popping. When popping has completed, use
oven mitts to remove the multipurpose cup and chute and place them to the side. Unplug
the popcorn popper. Using caution around the hot popping engine, grasp the base of the
popcorn popper and empty the rest of the popped kernels that may remain in the machine,
into the bowl.
CAUTION: The popcorn popper will be hot; we recommend using oven mitts to handle all
components of the hot popcorn popper.
5. If you used the multipurpose cup to melt butter or seasonings, carefully pour the contents
over your popcorn. Season to taste, then immediately reinstall the chute and multipurpose
cup onto the popcorn popper’s base.
CAUTION: Ensure the cup is thoroughly cleaned before reinstalling onto the chute. Butter
that drips into the inside of the base must be wiped away with a damp cloth. A dry cloth
may then be used to soak up any excess moisture. Failure to follow the above instructions
may result in fire.
NOTE: Because your popcorn popper works efficiently and quickly, chilled butter will not
have time to completely melt atop the popcorn popper in the multipurpose cup. Use room
temperature butter for best results.
6. Repeat the steps above to pop another batch, making sure the popping engine is free of
residual kernels before popping again.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Always unplug the popcorn popper from the electrical outlet and allow the parts to
cool completely before storing the unit or disassembling it for cleaning. Never immerse the unit in

Abrasive cleaners or cleaning tools can damage non-stick surfaces and plastic parts.
1. Clean the product after each use.
NOTE: The popcorn popper does not have any dishwasher-safe components.
2. Wash the chute and measuring cup/butter scoop in warm water with mild detergent and a
soft cloth. Dry thoroughly.

detergent. Then rinse with a soft cloth dampened with warm water. Dry thoroughly. DO NOT
immerse the popcorn popper’s base or cord in water or any other liquid.

NOTE: Always be sure to use a level measuring cup of popcorn kernels in your popcorn
popper. Exceeding this amount can lead to burnt kernels.
