OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE CRAZY POPPER
Remove all packaging and promotional labels and
wash transparent cover and combined measuring
cup/butter dish in hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
Step 6
Step 7
POPCORN – NO CHOLESTEROL – LOW FAT
When the Popcorn Maker stops popping corn in the
heating chamber, switch the machine off.
If you plan to pop more corn, allow the Crazy Popper
to cool for at least 10 minutes. Remove any unpopped
corn left in the popping chamber. Using oven mitts lift
cover off the base, turn base upside down to remove
unpopped corn. Do not place hands inside popping
chamber as it becomes very hot during operation.
Replace cover and start again.
Popping corn is a type of corn kernel which has
been dried. On application of heat the kernel pops
open exposing the light puffy centre of the grain.
Step 1
NOTE!!
Insert the plug into a 230/240v power outlet and turn
the power ‘on.’
If buttered popcorn is desired, place up to 25ml
(2 tablespoons) of butter in a single layer in the
measuring cup/butter dish, which is placed on
top of the transparent cover. The butter will melt
during the popping process.
Popping corn is available at most supermarkets
and specialty food stores. It should be stored in an
airtight container in a cool dry place.
Step 2
DO NOT OPERATE CRAZY POPPER WITHOUT POPCORN
KERNELS IN IT.
Fill combination measuring cup/butter dish full of
corn kernels and pour into the popping chamber. Do
not place more than one measuring cup/butter dish

Step 5
Turn the Crazy Popper on by pressing the switch ‘on.’
This switch is located at the rear of the machine.

AS THIS UNIT PERFORMS BY CIRCULATING VERY HOT AIR IN ITS CHAMBER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE
THAT NO CORN (POPPED OR OTHERWISE) IS CAUGHT IN THE HEATING SECTION, AS BURNING WILL RESULT
WITH A SUBSEQUENT EMISSION OF SMOKE.
SOME HOT UNPOPPED CORN MAY BE THROWN FROM THE MACHINE DURING THE POPPING PROCESS. BE
SURE TO PLACE THE CRAZY POPPER FACING AWAY FROM YOU OR DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF
MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
DO NOT OPERATE THE CRAZY POPPER IN EXCESS OF 5 MINUTES, SOME CORN KERNELS MAY NOT POP AND
SHOULD BE DISCARDED. ALLOW IT TO COOL DOWN FOR A FURTHER 10 MINUTES BETWEEN USES.
