HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Caution:
• This product is used to pop corn kernels into popcorn. Do not use for
other purposes.
• Do not use with pre-packaged salt/oil/popcorn combinations.
• This product will not turn off automatically. To avoid overheating,
always add the kernels before turning the product ON. Turn OFF after
use.
• Place a heat resistant non-plastic coaster or mat on a stable surface
between the product and your countertop/table. Failure to do so
may cause finish to darken, permanent blemishes to occur, or stains
to appear.
• To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
product on the same electrical circuit.
• Always remove the un-popped kernels and residues from the
popping chamber before starting another batch.
POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the
outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension
cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
 The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension
cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
 The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS TO REMEMBER
 NEVER immerse in water.
 NEVER use near water.
 NEVER use an abrasive sponge or cloth.
 NEVER use a scouring pad on the unit.
 NEVER leave unit unattended while in use.
 This unit uses hot air. Do not use butter or oil or water in the
popping chamber.
 DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Unit becomes hot when corn is
popping.
 DO NOT put in dishwasher.
 Keep out of reach of children.
 NEVER put your face near the unit while corn is popping. Stay at
least 3 feet (1 meter) away from unit while corn is popping.
 NEVER put hands in the unit while corn is popping. Wait at least
5 minutes after the unit has been turned off.

PARTS DESCRIPTION
See page 2-3.
BEFORE FIRST USE
 Before first use, lift the lid off and wipe clean the inside of the unit
with a non-abrasive, slightly damp sponge or towel, then wipe dry
 Put the lid back on the base.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning! Never add butter, salt. oil or sugar to the corn in the popping
chamber!
 Only use corn especially made for popping.
 Make sure the appliance is unplugged and switched off, and fully
assembled.
 Measure popping corn using the corn measuring cap. One full
measure per popping session is enough (approx. 60g). More than
one full measure could overfill the appliance and disturb the
correct functioning of the appliance. Less than one full measure
could cause fewer kernels to pop and more un-popped kernels to
be ejected from the chute.
 Pour corn into the popping chamber through the filling inlet of the
lid. Do not add anything else other than corn kernels.
 Put the measuring cap back on top of the lid.
 Select a bowl with at least 3L / 12 cup capacity, that is heat
resistant and will fit under the chute (but not block it)
 Place this bowl under the chute so that the edge of the bowl is
touching the body of the machine. It is important that the popcorn

9

being ejected down the chute into the bowl is not re-directed,
blocked or otherwise interfered with, since the popcorn is hot and
premature contact may cause burns.
 Plug into the outlet and switch on the appliance. After a few
moments, the continuous popping action will automatically feed
corn into the bowl until all has been popped. This process will last
about 2 to 4 minutes.
 Turn off the appliance when popping has stopped.
 If you want to pop a second portion, first remove the corns
remaining in the popping chamber. Pay attention not to get
burned when handling the lid or the popping chamber as these
parts as well as the measuring cup become very hot when the
appliance is functioning. Therefore, we advise you to wait about 10
to 15 minutes before popping a second portion.
WARNING: THIS IS NOT A TOY! PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN
UNSUPERVISED WITH THE APPLIANCE DURING OPERATION, WHEN IT IS
HOT OR CONNECTED TO ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
HINTS
• Popcorn is usually very dry. However, if desired, you can fill the
measuring cup with butter or margarine place it on top of the
popping chute, butter side up. The heat generated to pop the corn
will also melt the butter for adding to your popcorn in the bowl
beside the popcorn maker (NEVER put the butter into the heat
chamber). With butter, the sugar or salt you will add will stick to the
popcorn better. Clean the measuring cup after use.
• The appliance is designed for all regular and premium brands of
popcorn. Yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white kernel.
(Organic kernels are not highly recommended as they will not pop
as well). Please note: use fresh kernels as older dried kernels can
scorch and cause smoking in the unit.
• If your kernel is old and dried out, you can refresh it by putting the
kernels into an air tight container leaving some space for shaking.
Put in 1 teaspoon of water for each cup of kernel. Shake twice a
day for 3 days leaving the container in the refrigerator. Then the
kernel should be fresh again.
