OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

REMEMBER:
ALWAYS load your popper with oil and corn BEFORE plugging into outlet. Your machine will begin stirring as soon as it
is plugged in.
BE SURE that the butter bin cap is REMOVED when popping begins. This allows steam to escape and ensures light
and fluffy popcorn. REPLACE CAP BEFORE UPENDING.
To use your popper:
1. Remove butter bin cap if it is on. Place the recommended amounts of oil and kernels into your
popper, distributing evenly over the non-stick surface.
2. Next, attach the power cord into the receptacle on the base of your popper, then plug the popper
into a properly grounded outlet.
3. Attach the dome to the popper base by fitting the dome handles into the handles of the base.
4. To melt butter onto your popcorn, distribute evenly sliced cold butter pats over the butter bin so that
it will drip through the holes as your popper pops. Warmer, or room temperature butter can be
added after the popping begins. This will keep butter from burning on hot popper surface.
Note: If you are not using butter on your popcorn you must still remove the butter bin cap
before popping!
5. Attach the power cord into the receptacle on the base of your popper, then plug the popper into a
properly grounded 120V outlet on a level surface. Your popper will begin stirring as soon as you plug
it in. NOTE: DO NOT SHAKE OR MOVE POPPER WHILE IN USE!
6. Once popping is done, unplug from outlet and remove cord from base (See #1 in illustration below).
CAUTION! POPPER WILL BE HOT! USE HOTPADS!
7. Replace butter bin cover
securely (#2) before
using the popper dome
as a serving bowl! Once
cover is in place, be sure
that the dome handles are
still aligned properly into
the popper base handles.
Grasp firmly (See #3 in
illustration below) and
invert AWAY from your
body. When the popper is
upended and resting on
the butter bin cover, lift off
the popper base (#4).
CAUTION! Escaping
steam and residual oils
can drip and cause burns.
8. Salt and/or season as
desired and serve (#5).

IMPORTANT!
NO PARTS OF YOUR POPPER ARE DISHWASHER SAFE!
DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OF ANY KIND ON ANY PART OF YOUR POPPER!
ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR CLEANING TOOLS CAN DAMAGE NON-STICK
SURFACES AND PLASTIC PARTS.
ALWAYS ALLOW POPPER AND ALL PARTS TO COOL DOWN PRIOR TO
CLEANING.
We recommend cleaning your popper after each use.
How to clean your popper:
1. Wash popper dome and butter bin cover in warm water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Dry
thoroughly.
2. Wipe base and non-stick surfaces with a soft cloth wetted with warm water and a mild detergent.
Then rinse with a soft cloth and warm water and dry thoroughly. DO NOT IMMERSE POPPER
BASE!
Note: After prolonged use it is normal to notice a color change in the non-stick surface of your
popper. This can be removed with common household vinegar or lemon juice applied with a cloth.
Wipe clean and allow to dry thoroughly.
3. Unscrew the stir rod cap and remove the stir rod. Wash in warm water with a mild detergent and a
soft cloth. Dry thoroughly. Replace the stir rod onto the central turning mechanism by fitting the rod’s
middle notch into the groove on the mechanism. When reinstalled properly, the stir rod will lay flat
and balanced and will not touch the non-stick surface. Replace stir rod cap.
DO NOT EXCEED 1 CUP OF UNPOPPED KERNELS PER BATCH! Your popper has a maximum
capacity of 6 quarts....using more than 1 cup of kernels could result in burning corn! Higher quality
corn may require less oil and kernels.
1/3 Cup Popcorn Kernels + 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil = 2 Quarts Popcorn
2/3 Cup Popcorn Kernels + 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil = 4 Quarts Popcorn
1 Cup Popcorn Kernels + 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil = 6 Quarts Popcorn
Do not use anything other than vegetable oil, such as butter, butter substitutes, etc., as these can burn!
