INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the RETRO SERIES KETTLE POPCORN MAKER.
With its stylish 1950’s look, this popcorn will be the hit of every party!
It features a large, stainless steel kettle with a built-in stirring system and pops up
to 8 cups of popcorn per batch. It includes a measuring spoon for oil and a
measuring cup for popcorn kernels, so every batch pops perfectly. A tempered
window and light allows you to watch the popcorn popping, and kernel catcher
keeps unpoped corn out of every scoop. With the RETRO SERIES KETTLE
POPCORN MAKER, popcorn has never tasted so good at home!

HOW TO OPERATE
Before first use, clean the inside of the unit by wiping with a moist, non-abrasive
sponge, towel or cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Wipe down the
inside of the kettle and be sure it is properly placed in the brackets before starting.
1. First, find a flat surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your
cord is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if
need.
2.
Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, seasonings, bowls or bags for
holding the popcorn, cooking oil, kernel measuring cup and oil measuring spoon.
(Kernel measuring cup and oil measuring spoon are included with your unit).
3.
Plug in the appliance while switch is flipped to OFF position.
4. Make sure kettle is properly secured in support brackets.
5. Make sure kettle motor is plugged in.
6. Turn appliance ON by flipping the switch on the top of the machine. Allow the
appliance to run 3-5 minutes to heat up kettle.
7. Turn unit OFF.
8. Use the oil measuring spoon supplied with your RETRO SERIES KETTLE POPCORN
MAKER to add 2/3tablespoon of your favorite popcorn cooking oil to the kettle.
For best popping results, it is suggested to use light vegetable oil.
9. Add 2/3cup (1 oz) popcorn kernels to the kettle using supplied kernel measuring
cup.
10. Turn the unit ON and close the door. In no time at all, you will hear the popping
begin. Fresh, hot popcorn will begin to burst out of the flip lids on the kettle-just
like at the theater!
11. Once the kernels have stopped popping, tip the kettle using the red knob on the
crank handle to release the popcorn.
