process it is normal for some un-popped kernels to eject from the
chute. DO NOT pick up these kernels as they are very HOT!
WARNNG: Stay clear of the chute while the appliance is operating.

9
NOTES ON THE PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.
NOTES ON THE CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord)
is to be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords
are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord
or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance;
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should
be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over.

PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the
counter upper or table upper or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC
coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the
counter upper or table upper. Failure to do so may cause the finish to
darken; permanent blemishes may occur, or stains can appear.

Before Using for the First Time
1. Carefully unpack the Popcorn Popper and remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash measuring cap/butter tray and clean Popcorn Popper lid in warm, soapy water;
rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Place the Popcorn Popper base on a clean, flat, 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 Popper lid and measuring cap/butter tray. Fill one level measuring
cap with kernels and add to popping chamber. One level measuring cap of popcorn
kernels = 1⁄3 cup.
CAUTION: Never add more than 1 measuring cap or 1⁄3 cup 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 overfill.
2. Place Popcorn Popper lid onto the Popcorn Popper base, positioning bottom edge of
Popcorn Popper lid into grooves of the base. Place measuring cap/butter tray onto
Popcorn Popper Lid.
CAUTION: Never pop corn without Popcorn Popper lid and measuring cap/butter tray
in position.
3. Place a 4-qt. or larger bowl or rectangular container under the chute. 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 (|).

1 3
5. The measuring cap/butter tray may be used to melt butter while the unit pops
the kernels. 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 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 Popper 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 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 HOT AIR
POPCORN POPPER. ALLOW POPCORN POPPER 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 Popper to cool before continuing to pop additional
batches of popcorn.
3. Then repeat the procedure described previously.
Cautions
• This is a hot air Popcorn Popper. Never add oils, fats, shortening, sugar, or salt to the
popping chamber.
• This Popcorn Popper is designed to be used with regular or premium hot air popcorn;
