supply cord.

electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.

Popping Corn Instructions
This section describes instructions for popping Standard (salted) popcorn.
Amount of Popcorn and Oil
The popper is equipped with a corn, salt, and oil measure. We recommend flavored and colored
coconut oil. Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresh longer and does not leave black deposits in
the kettle like other oils. Use only top quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers.
Kettle Size
Popcorn Charge
Oil Charge
Flavacol (Salt)
6 oz.
6 oz. ( 77 ml)
2 oz. (59 ml)
/2 Tblsp. (7.5cc)
For best results use Mega-Pop® 6 oz. premeasured pouches (Item# 2836).
Popping Standard (Salted) Popcorn
. Turn all switches ON.
2. To determine when kettle is ready to pop corn (about 4 minutes), test pop three
kernels of corn in one ounce (30 ml) of popping oil. When kernels pop, kettle is ready.
3. Lift kettle lid and load Mega-Pop® premeasured popcorn and oil pouch, or pour in
popcorn and Flavacol, then add oil in premeasured amount. Close lid.
4. When corn has finished popping, gently dump the popcorn.
5. On final kettle of corn, turn Kettle Heat Switch OFF just as lids are forced open by the
popping corn. This procedure saves electricity, since kettle has plenty of heat, and helps
eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue that remains after popping has stopped.
6. When finished popping, turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches OFF.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!
