stirring system and pops up to 10 cups of popcorn per batch. It includes a Measuring
Spoon for oil and a Measuring Cup for popcorn kernels, so every batch pops perfectly. A

HOW TO OPERATE
Before rst use, clean the inside of the unit by wiping with a moist, non-abrasive
sponge, towel or cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Wipe down the
inside of the Kettle and be sure it is properly placed in the brackets before starting.
1. First, nd a at surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord
is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2. Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, seasonings, bowls or bags for
holding the popcorn, cooking oil, Kernel Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon.
(Kernel Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon are included with your unit)
3. Plug in the appliance while switch is ipped to OFF position.
4. Make sure Kettle is properly secured in support brackets.
5. Make sure Kettle motor is fully plugged into the outlet located on the bottom
side of the kettle. NOTE: Kettle will not heat if plug is not fully inserted.
6. Turn appliance ON by ipping the switch on the top of the machine.
Allow the appliance to run 3-5 minutes to heat up Kettle.
7. Turn unit OFF.
8. Use the Oil Measuring Spoon supplied with your VINTAGE COLLECTION™ KETTLE
POPCORN MAKER to add 1 tablespoon of your favorite popcorn cooking oil to
the Kettle. For best popping results, it is suggested to use vegetable oil.
9. Add ¼ cup (2 oz) popcorn kernels to the Kettle using supplied Kernel Measuring Cup.
10. Turn the unit ON and close the door. In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin. Fresh,
hot popcorn will begin to burst out of the ip lids on the Kettle - just like at the theater!
11. Once the kernels have stopped popping, tip the Kettle using the
red knob on the Crank Handle to release the popcorn.

HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
SMOKING
If your VINTAGE COLLECTION™ KETTLE POPCORN MAKER begins to smoke
during cooking, it may be due to grease build up. In order to reduce smoking,
make sure that you clean the inside of the Kettle between uses.
POPCORN
For best results, use an all natural soft-shelled popping corn. Some brands of
kernels have a harder outer shell and may result in fewer popped kernels.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure appliance is unplugged and completely cooled before cleaning. Unplug
the outer plug to the outlet as well as the Kettle motor plug inside the Main Unit.
2. Use slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth to wipe down the inside
and outside of Main Unit, then wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.
3. After Kettle motor has been unplugged and Kettle has completely cooled,
turn Crank Handle clockwise to loosen and remove from Kettle.
4. Remove Kettle from support brackets.
5. Take Kettle out of the Main Unit. After removing Kettle from
Main Unit, ll ²⁄³of Kettle with hot, soapy water.
6. Let the Kettle sit for 15 – 20 minutes to cut the grease. (time may vary – use
your own judgment depending on the amount of cleaning necessary)
7. Empty water. If necessary, use the scrubber side of a
cleaning sponge to scrub inside of Kettle.
8. Rinse inside carefully and dry.
9. Wipe outside of Kettle with damp cloth and dry.
10. Reattach Kettle to Main Unit and then reattach the Crank Handle by inserting Crank
Handle into the Kettle. Turn the Crank Handle counter-clockwise to tighten.
NOTE: To protect the motor plug from getting wet, never immerse the Kettle in
any liquid. Never place any parts in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.
