Operation Procedures
PLEASE NOTE: If you are using your popper for the rst time, clean the interior of the glass
surfaces and wipe the inside of your popper with a clean damp sponge before heat is applied.
Please follow these procedures for the best operating results and long machine life.
1. Place the corn popper on a dry, level surface. Protect from rain and other weather
elements. Do not install near pool or water. Plug the unit into a suitable grounded electrical
outlet. (Please check the electrical specs. Be sure that your power source matches the
rating label specied next to the power cord; 120V AC ~ 60Hz).
2. The unit has 2 function switches: Light and Pop:
LIGHT: Turns on the light inside the popper housing
POP: Controls power to the motor and kettle heater
3. Make sure that the kettle plug inside the housing is plugged into its housing outlet, then plug the
power cord into your household electrical outlet.
4. Plug in the power cord to the popcorn maker.
5. Before adding popcorn or oil make sure that the kettle lid is up; open using the kettle lid tab.
6. Turn the Light and Pop switches to the ON position and allow the machine to preheat
for 2-3 minutes.
Please Note: ENGAGING BOTH SWITCHES WILL TURN THE LIGHT, MOTOR AND
KETTLE HEATER ON.
7. Once the machine has preheated, turn the Pop switch to the OFF position and add 1 Tablespoon
of oil immediately followed by 1/3 cup popcorn (use scoop provided). Close lid immediately.
8. Turn Pop switch to the ON position. The stirrer will engage and the kettle will begin to heat an
pop the popcorn.
CAUTION: When adding oil, corn, during the popping process, when emptying kettle or
handling machine after popping, machine and kettle and kettle lid will be HOT. We
recommend using oven mitts. Use extreme caution to avoid burns and keep children away!
9. Corn should begin to pop after approximately 2 minutes. When you no longer hear any popping,
immediately turn the Pop switch to the OFF position and using the kettle handle, empty the
remaining popcorn and kernels from the kettle into the removable tray with the rest of the
popcorn (use mitts).
Note: Emptying the kettle immediately when popping is done will help to prevent burnt
kernels and popcorn from forming in popper.
10. Keep Pop switch in OFF position if not preheating or popping. Keep unit unplugged when
not in use.
