Instructions for the Electrical Cord and Plug
1. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

from becoming entangled or tripping over a long cord.
3. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
• Extension cords can be used if care is exercised in their use.
• The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• When using a longer cord or extension cord, make sure that
the cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on or tripped over unintentionally.
4. The manufacturer does not recommend using this machine in countries that do not
support 120V AC even if a voltage adapter, transformer, or converter is in use.

HOW TO OPERATE
Before rst use, clean the Top Housing, Bowl and Base by wiping it with a moist, non-
abrasive sponge or cloth and then drying it with a non-abrasive dry towel. Make sure
the Top Housing is securely attached atop the Popping Chamber before starting.
1. First, nd a at surface near an electrical outlet. Make sure your cord is away
from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2. Plug in the appliance while switch is ipped to OFF position.
3. Remove Top Housing, and turn appliance ON by ipping the switch on the Base.
Allow the appliance to run for about 2 minutes to heat up Popping Chamber.
4. While Popping Chamber is heating, fill Kernel Cap with corn kernels (2 ounces).
NOTE: Unit pops up to 8 cups of popcorn per batch, while
the Bowl holds up to 24 cups of popcorn.
5. Turn unit OFF.
6. Pour kernels into the Popping Chamber and replace Top Housing.
7. Turn the unit ON, and soon you will hear the popping begin. Popcorn will begin
to tumble out of the opening in the Top Housing and into the bowl.
8. Once the kernels have stopped popping, turn unit OFF.
9. Tip HOT AIR POPCORN BUCKET forward to make sure that
all of the popcorn is out of the machine.
10. Repeat these steps two more times to completely ll the Bowl.

HELPFUL TIPS
POPCORN
The HOT AIR POPCORN BUCKET is designed for all regular and premium brands
of popping corn. Yellow corn generally pops better than white corn. Some brands
of kernels have a harder outer shell and may result in fewer popped kernels.
When lling the Kernel Cap, make sure to not ll above or below the
marked line. Underlling can cause less kernels to pop and more
unpopped kernels to come out of the unit. Overlling can cause popped
corn to burn and smoke, as it will over ll the Popping Chamber.
SEASONING
NEVER put any seasonings or oil in the Popping Chamber. Always season
popcorn after it has been removed from the HOT AIR POPCORN BUCKET.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure appliance is unplugged before cleaning.
2. Allow unit to cool for at least 15 minutes.
3. Remove the Top Housing from the Base.
4. Use a slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge or cloth to wipe down the inside and outside of
Base, including inside of Popping Chamber, then wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.
5. Wash Top Housing and Bowl with hot, soapy water using a non-
abrasive sponge or cloth. Wipe dry with a non-abrasive towel.
6. Reassemble unit and store.
NOTE: Never place any parts in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.
