Using Your Hot Air Popcorn Popper
NEVER IMMERSE THE POPPER BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
ONLY MELT BUTTER WHILE POPPING KERNELS!
1. Before using for the first time, wash popper cover and measuring cup in
warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Remove popper cover and measuring cup from popper base. Fill the
measuring cup to the Max line with kernels and add to popping
chamber. Do not fill measuring cup past the Max line - Kernels should
be level in measuring cup. Measuring cup = 1/2 cup. Never add more
1
than ⁄2 cup of popcorn kernels to the popping chamber at one time. Do
not put any other ingredients such as oil, shortening, butter, margarine,
salt and sugar into popping chamber as damage
will occur.
3. Place popper cover onto base, positioning bottom edge of cover into
groove of base. The measuring cup may be used to melt butter while the
unit pops the kernels. If not melting butter, place measuring cup onto
popper cover as shown in Figure 1. If melting butter, turn measuring
cup over and place inverted onto the popper cover. Never add more
than 1/4 cup of butter to the measuring cup. Make sure butter is at
room temperature. Cut butter into 8 slices before placing in measuring
cup. Note: When using the measuring cup to measure kernels, always
wash and dry the measuring cup after each batch of popcorn when
melting butter.
4. Place a heat-proof popcorn serving bowl under the front of the popper
cover. 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.
5. Plug unit into a 120V~60 Hz outlet and press the On/Off Switch
to On (-–).
6. Press the On/Off Switch to Off (O) and unplug when popping is
complete. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT EMPTY. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO MELT BUTTER WITHOUT POPCORN IN CHAMBER.
Due to variances in the popcorn type, freshness and moisture content,
some popped or unpopped kernels may remain in the chamber after the
popping has stopped. To prevent scorching, unplug the popper without
waiting for this corn to clear the unit.

CAUTION: AS KERNELS MAY CONTINUE TO POP EVEN AFTER
UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, MAKE SURE ALL POPPING HAS
STOPPED BEFORE REMOVING COVER.
CAUTION: USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT
SURFACES OF THE UNIT. TO AVOID TEMPORARY
MALFORMATION OF THE COVER, ALLOW IT TO COOL ON
THE UNIT BASE AFTER POPPING.
7. For additional batches, unplug unit. Make sure the popping
chamber is empty. Carefully remove excess popcorn or left over
unpopped kernels. Then repeat steps 2 through 6. Note: When
popping more than one or two batches of corn, allow the popper to cool
down for at least 10 minutes.
Helpful Hints
N This popcorn popper is designed to pop regular and premium
brands of popcorn. Try different brands to find the one you like
best. Yellow kernels generally pop larger than white. One half cup
unpopped kernels will yield approximately 3.5 quarts of popcorn.
N Always use fresh popcorn. Stale or dried-out popcorn pops poorly
and may cause scorching or smoking.
N Carefully select the bowl you will be using to collect popped corn.
A metal bowl may become very hot to the touch due to the flow of
hot air from the chute and must be handled carefully. It will,
however, tend to keep the popcorn warm. If a plastic bowl is used,
be certain it can withstand the heat caused by the warm air flow
without melting.
1
N Never use more than ⁄2 cup of kernels per batch.
N Never add salt, sugar or other flavorings into popping chamber.
N This is an AIR corn popper. Popcorn will pop by circulating hot
air. Oils, fats or shortening are not needed and should never be
used. Do not use microwave popcorn in this appliance.
