damaged cord or plug, or after the appli-
ance has malfunctioned or has been
dropped or damaged in any way or is not
operating properly. Return the appliance
to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for
examination, repair, or mechanical or
electrical adjustment.
8. The use of attachments or accessories not

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORDSET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over
a long cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised
in their use. If an extension cord is used, the
marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance.
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not t, contact a qualied electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TIPS AND HINTS
POPCORN AMOUNTS

Oil

Popcorn
¼ cup 1½ teaspoons
Approximately
8 cups popped
popcorn
1⁄3cup 2 teaspoons
Approximately
10-12 cups

½ cup 1 tablespoon
Approximately

popped
popcorn
Note: Premium popcorns yield less, by about 2
cups.
The seasoning possibilities for popcorn are end-
less. Just add melted butter and your favorite
seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.
With toppings added, popped popcorn will
become much crisper and the avors become
more intense if it is heated with desired toppings
in a 300°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before
serving. For best results, heat it on a baking
sheet that you have lined with foil and sprayed
with cooking oil.
Note: Serving bowl should not be put
into oven.
It is very important to use fresh popcorn. If
your popcorn is old, the kernels will not fully
pop and/or it may take a long time for them to
pop.
