It is recommended that the machine and kettle be cleaned after each use
when the popper has cooled. However, waiting to clean after a few popping
sessions is acceptable.

popcorn machine is unplugged and cool.
•Clean all surfaces with a dry or damp cloth or sponge. NEVER
immerse the kettle or any other part of the machine in water.
•Do not use abrasive chemicals or cleaners on any part of
the machine.
•Clean and dry thoroughly before any extended storage
period.

of hot water (no detergents) into the kettle.

bowl is large enough to collect all water from the kettle).
3. Turn on STIR and KETTLE, then bring water to boil for 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Turn off STIR and KETTLE, wait a few minutes, then carefully pour out water
into bowl. [CAUTION: KETTLE AND WATER WILL BE HOT!]
