Before Using for the First Time
1. Carefully unpack the Popcorn Maker and remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash measuring cap/butter tray and clean Popcorn Maker lid in warm,
soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Place the Popcorn Maker base on a clean, at, heat-resistant working
surface.
CAUTION: During popping, the unit gets hot. Make sure the surface is
able to withstand heat or use a trivet to protect the working surface.
4. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Operating Instructions
1. Remove Popcorn Maker lid and measuring cap/butter tray. Fill one
measuring cap with kernels and add to popping chamber. (Figure 2)
CAUTION: Never add more than 1 measuring cap of popcorn kernels to the
popping chamber at one time. Do not put any other ingredients such as
oil, shortening, butter, margarine, salt or sugar into popping chamber
as damage will occur. Do not overll.
2. Place Popcorn Maker lid onto the Popcorn Maker base, positioning bottom
edge of Popcorn Maker lid into grooves of the base (Figure 3). Place
measuring cap/butter tray onto Popcorn Maker Lid.
CAUTION: Never pop corn without Popcorn Maker lid and measuring cap/
butter tray in position.
3. Place a 5-qt. or larger bowl or rectangular container under the chute.
(Figure 4) The bowl should not be more than 6 inches high, so that air
can circulate freely under the chute. 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 unit into a 120 V AC outlet and press the ON/OFF switch to ON (|)
(Figure 5).
5. The measuring cap/butter tray may be used to melt butter while the unit
pops the kernels. (Figure 6) For best results, cut butter into 1⁄4-inch
(0.6 cm) slices. Allow butter to come to room temperature. Never add
more than 1⁄4 cup (50 ml) of butter to the measuring cap. Use the handle
of the cap to remove melted butter from the lid. Always wash and dry the
19265_19266_19267_19268_19269 - Beautiful - Popcorn Maker_IM_v5.indd 1219265_19266_19267_19268_19269 - Beautiful - Popcorn Maker_IM_v5.indd 12 2022-11-24 10:57 AM2022-11-24 10:57 AM

measuring cap/butter tray after each batch of buttered popcorn. Use a
clean measuring cap to measure kernels.
6. Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF (O) and unplug the unit when popping
is complete.
CAUTION: Never operate the Popcorn Maker when empty.
7. Due to variances in the popcorn type, freshness and moisture content,
some popped or unpopped kernels may remain in the popping chamber after
the popping has stopped. To prevent scorching, unplug the Popcorn Maker
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 HOT AIR POPCORN MAKER.
ALLOW POPCORN MAKER LID TO COOL ON THE POPPER BASE AFTER POPPING.
For Additional Batches
1. For additional batches, unplug unit. Make sure the popping chamber is
empty. Carefully remove excess popcorn or remaining unpopped kernels.
2. Allow 15 minutes for the Popcorn Maker to cool before continuing to pop
additional batches of popcorn.
3. Then repeat the procedure described previously.
