TO USE
1. Remove Cover from Base. Place fresh hot air popcorn kernels into
the Popping Chamber up to the MAX Fill Line. NEVER FILL WITH
KERNELS PAST THIS LINE. Do not add any other ingredients such
as: oil, shortening, butter, margarine, salt or sugar, as damage will
occur.
2. Place Cover on Base, positioning the pegs on the bottom edge of the
Cover into the slots on the Base. The Cover must be securely in place
before operating unit.
3. Place Popcorn Serving Bowl that comes with the unit under the
Chute. If you are using a different bowl choose a heat-proof bowl. If a
plastic bowl is used, be sure it will withstand heat without melting. A
metal bowl may become hot to the touch, but it will tend to keep the
popcorn warmer.
4. Plug in to operate. Kernels take a few minutes to heat before popping
begins. Always wait until all popping has stopped before unplugging.
NOTE: Due to variances in the popcorn type, freshness and moisture
content, some popped or unpopped kernels may remain in the
Chamber after popping has stopped. To prevent scorching, unplug the
unit without waiting for these kernels to clear.

empty. Carefully remove excess popcorn or left over unpopped kernels.
Then repeat steps 1 through 4. Note: When popping more than two or
three batches of corn, allow popper to cool down for at least 10 minutes.
