popcorn.
Hint:Beforeaddingsaltorseasoning,lightlyspraypopcornwithnostick
cookingspraytoaddavor.Saltandseasoningwillalsoadherebetter.

Helpful Hints
• Never use more than a level ½ cup of popping corn. Overloading the
poppingchambermaycausetheunittooverheatandshutoff.Itmayalso
causesmokingandscorchedcorn.Shouldtheunitshutoff,unplugthepopper
fromthewalloutlet,snaptheservingbowllidonthecover,iptheunitover,
andremovethebase.Emptyanypoppedorunpoppedcornfromthebowl.
Allowthepoppertocoolfor15minutesbeforeusingagain.
• Thispopperisdesignedtopopallkindsofpopcorn—yellow,white,and
premiumbrands,suchasOrvilleRedenbacher’s®Gourmet®PoppingCorn.
Trydifferentbrandstondtheoneyoulikebest.Yellowpopcorngenerally
popsintolargerkernelsthanwhite.
• Alwaysusefreshpopcornforbestpoppingperformance.Storepopcornina
tightlysealedcontainerinyourpantry.Donotstorepopcorninarefrigerator
orfreezerasthiscandryoutthekernelsquickly.
• Ifyourpopcorndoesnotpopwell,itmaybetoodry.Tryaddingalittlebit
ofwatertothepoppingcorn.Add1tablespoonperquartofpopcorn.Then
placethecorninanairtightcontainerandshakeatfrequentintervalsuntilthe
popcornhasabsorbedthewater.Waitfor3or4daysandthentrypoppingthe
corn.
• Alwaysremovetheservingbowllidbeforepoppingcorn.Failuretodoso
willresultinchewypopcornandmayresultinmeltingofthelidandthecover

Important Cord Information
• Thisappliancehasapolarizedplug(onebladeiswiderthantheother).To
reducetheriskofelectric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.
• Ashortpowersupplycord(orcordset)isprovidedtoreducetheriskresult-
ingfrombecomingentangledinortrippingoveralongercord.Extension
cordsmaybeusedifcareisproperlyexercisedintheiruse.
• Ifanextensioncordisused,themarkedelectricalratingoftheextensioncord
shouldbeatleastasgreatastheelectricalratingoftheappliance.Theexten-
sioncordshouldbearrangedsothatitwillnotdrapeoverthecountertopor
tabletopwhereitcanbepulledonbychildrenortrippedoverunintentionally.
• Connectthepowersupplycordtoa120VACelectricaloutletonly.
Before First Use
1. Becomefamiliarwiththevariouspartsofthepopper(Fig.A)andreadand
followtheinstructionscarefully.
2. Priortomakingyourrstbatchofpopcorn,washthecover/servingbowlin
warm,sudsywater.Rinseanddrythoroughly.Do not wash in an automatic
dishwasher.
 Wipethepoppingtraywithadampcloth.WARNING! To protect against
electricalhazards,neverllthebaseofyourpopperwithwater,immerseitin
waterorotherliquid,orwashitinadishwasher.
How To Use
1. Openthetworestrictorswithouttheleverandpouralevel ½ cup of popping
cornintothepoppingchamberforafullbatchofpopcorn.Return the restric-
torstotheclosedposition.(Ifasmallerquantityisdesired,youcanuseas
littleas2tablespoonsofpoppingcorn.)
NOTE:Twooftherestrictorswillopencompletely,buttherestrictorwiththe
lever(thisistherestrictorabovethecord)willonlyopenpartially.Thisisby
design.Do not force the third restrictor open completely.
IMPORTANT: Never use more than a level ½ cup of popping corn. Over-
loadingthepoppingchambermaycausetheunittooverheatandshutoff.It
mayalsocausesmokingandscorchedcorn.
WARNING! Do not place salt, seasoning, butter, margarine, shortening, or
microwavepopcorninthepoppingchamberasthiscoulddamagethepopper
andcausearehazard.
2. Placethecover/servingbowloverthepopperbasesothecoverhandlesalign
withthebasehandles.
3. Removetheservingbowllidtoallowsteamtoventduringpopping.
Notice: Failuretoremovethelidwillresultinchewypopcornandmay
resultinmeltingofthelidandthecovervents.
4. Plugthepopperintoa120VACelectricaloutlet.Poppingwillbegininap-
proximately1½minutes.Whenyouplugtheunitinandalsoduringpopping,
you may notice popcorn chaff releasing from the popping chamber as a result
ofthehotairblowing.Thisisnormal.
5. Whenthepoppedcornllsthepoppingtray,graspthecoverhandlesand
popperbasehandlesandgentlyshakethepopperinabackandforthmotiona
coupleoftimes.Thisactionevenlydistributesthepopcornonthetray,inturn
assuringevenairdistributionandpoppingperformance.Whenusinglessthan
¼cuppoppingcorn,shakingthepopperwillnotbenecessary.
6. Attherstsignthatpoppingisslowing(about1to2secondsbetweenpops),
unplugtheunitandsnapthelidontothecover/servingbowl.
7. Holdthecoverhandlesandpopperbasehandlestogetherandimmediatelyip
theunitover.Gentlyshaketheunitupanddownrstandthensidetoside.
Thismotioncausesanykernelsleftinthepoppingchambertodropintothe
bowl.Italsoautomaticallysiftsouthulls,partiallypoppedkernels,andany
unpoppedkernels.Thesifteditemsfallthroughthecoverventsintotheserv-
ingbowllidforeasydisposal.
8. Liftthepopperbaseoffthecover/servingbowlandsetitaside.
CAutIoN: Do not touch the restrictors or top of the popping chamber as they
willbehot.
