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
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
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.

BEFORE THE 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.
Remove the serving bowl from the base and clean it with warm
soapy water. Rinse then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Put the bowl and lid back on the base.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Never add butter, 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. 2.8 oz./ 80g). 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 into the bowl.
Remove the lid and use the measuring spoon to pour corn into the
popping chamber. Do not add anything else than corn kernels.
Put the lid back on the base.
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 become very
hot when the appliance is functioning. 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. If desired, you can add melted butter,
olive oil and seasonings to the popped kernels. NEVER put the butter
or oil in the popping chamber,
•The appliance is designed for all regular and premium brands of
popcorn. Yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white kernel.
(Organic kernel is not highly recommended as it will not pop as well).
Please note to use fresh kernel as older dried kernel 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.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure the appliance has totally cooled down before cleaning
(allow to cool 10 to 15 minutes after use).
The base, power plug and cord shall never be immersed in water.
Wipe the base with a damp cloth and wipe dry with a clean towel.
Clean the lid and serving bowl and measuring spoon with a warm
soapy water. Never use abrasive products as they could damage
the appliance. Then wipe dry with a non-abrasive towel.
Never use a scouring or steel wool pad on any parts of this
appliance.
All parts must be dried completely before reassembly.
Store in a cool, dry place.
