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.

three batches of corn, allow popper to cool down for at least 10 minutes.
