INTRODUCTION
Thank You for purchasing the Old Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Maker™! This nostalgic
looking popcorn maker resembles the late 1800's to early 1900's theater style popcorn
machines.
The Old Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Maker™! is only designed in appearance to look
like the nostalgic style popcorn makers, however, it is a technologically advanced hot air
popcorn popper that pops more kernels than other popcorn makers.
The Old Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Maker™! uses air to pop the kernels which results
in more perfectly popped popcorn and less kernels to bite into.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The Old Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Maker™! is easy to use. Just follow these simple
instructions.
After Taking the Unit Out of the Box
Your Old Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Maker™! is already fully assembled.
Before first use, lift the top body housing off of the body and wipe clean the inside
of the unit with a non-abrasive moist sponge or a non-abrasive towel and then
wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
After Taking the Unit Out of the Box (Continued)
After cleaning the inside, put the top housing back on to the base.
Now you are ready to enjoy freshly popped popcorn in your Old Fashioned Movie Time
Popcorn Maker™!
First find a stable place near an electrical outlet before starting. (Make sure you cord is
away from any water source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an extension cord).
1. Completely fill, level to the top of the kernel cap on the top of the unit, with your
favorite popcorn.
2. IMPORTANT - NEVER under fill or over fill the kernel cap. Under filling the cap can
cause less kernels to pop and more hard kernels to come out ofunit during popping.

popping chamber.
4. Pour entire cap of kernels down the hole on the top of the unit until cap is empty. (see

5. Place cap back in it’s place
6. Place a bowl or dish under the popcorn opening to allow popcorn to fill the bowl.
(see photo 3)
NOTE: When selecting a bowl, use a bowl that is large enough and will fit under the
popcorn chute. Some bowls may not fit because of the wheels. If needed, put a small cup
or smaller bowl under the bowl intended to collect the popcorn to prop the bowl up to the
height of the chute.
7. Plug unit into outlet.
8. Turn unit ON (see photo 2) and in just minutes, you will have freshly popped popcorn
popped to perfection!
9. When kernels have fully popped, turn unit OFF. You can tip the popcorn maker
forward at this point to make sure you get all the popcorn out of the machine.

RECIPES AND TIPS
SELECTING THE RIGHT POPCORN
The Old Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Maker™! is designed for all regular and premium
brands of popcorn. Also, yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white popcorn. (Organic
popcorn is not highly recommended for this machine).
Please note to use fresh popcorn as older dried popcorn can scorch and cause smoking in
the unit.
If your popcorn is old and dried out, you can freshen 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
popcorn. Shake twice a day for 3 days leaving the container in the refrigerator. Then the
kernels should be fresh again.
