INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• Firstly, check that the power switch is switched off, the ‘O’ position before you plug in
the appliance.
• Remove the lid.
• Fill the measuring cup with fresh popcorn kernels, this will give the best results.
DO NOT exceed 80g, this is the MAX capacity of the measuring cup filled level to
the top.
• Pour the kernels into the popping chamber.
• Put the lid on top of the popping chamber, lining up the indent with the groove.
• Plug in and switch on at the socket.
• Switch on the power switch to the ‘I’ position and the Popcorn Maker will start
popping.

pop the kernels. DO NOT allow the appliance to run for more than 3 minutes.
NEVER lift the lid whilst the appliance is in operation.
• When the popcorn kernels have stopped popping, switch off the power switch to the
‘O’ position and switch off and unplug the appliance at the socket.
• Un-popped kernels may remain in the popping chamber. It is unlikely these will be able
to pop, so please discard.

dish and season if desired.

Allow the motor to cool down for 10 minutes before using again.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: The Popcorn Maker is fully assembled, why is nothing happening when I
press the power on/off switch.
Answer: Check that appliance is plugged in and switched on at the socket.
Question: Why have not all my popcorn kernels popped?
Answer: Some popcorn kernels may not pop because the inside of the kernel is too
dry. The kernel pop is caused by moisture inside the kernel heating up and
creating steam. The pressure causes the shell to explode, therefore resulting
in popcorn. When there’s not enough moisture, the kernel won’t pop.
