BEFORE FIRST USE

After unpacking the Popcorn Maker with Melting Station, follow

the Cleaning & Maintenance instructions on page 10.

POPPING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the popcorn maker and melting station base on a

at, dry surface.

2. Place popping plate on base.

3. It is not necessary to preheat the unit.

4. Pour the recommended amount of oil onto the popping

plate (do not add more oil than recommended and do not

substitute with butter, margarine, shortening or lard, as

these will burn and cause excessive smoking).

NOTE: You may use either vegetable, peanut or canola oil

for popping.

5. Add the recommended amount of corn kernels spread out

evenly across the popping plate.

POPPING CHART

Oil Corn

Vegetable, Peanut, Canola Kernels Yield

Minimum Batch 1½ tablespoons ½ cup Up to 13 cups

Maximum Batch 2 tablespoons 2∕3cup Up to 20 cups

6. Place popping bowl on the popping plate, making sure

handles of the popping bowl line up and t into the handles

on the popping plate.

7. Do not place black lid on the popping bowl during the

popping process. The vents in the popping bowl will

allow steam to release during the popping process.

8. Plug into an outlet and turn the unit on by turning the

rocker switch to the left of the control panel to the POP

position. The stirring rod will rotate as long as the popcorn

maker is in the POP position. In approximately 3½ minutes

(depending on quantity and type of kernels being popped),

the popping cycle will be complete and you will no longer

hear the corn popping. Turn the popcorn maker power

switch to the OFF position and unplug from outlet if you are

not utilizing the melting station.

7

NOTE: Do not shake the popcorn maker during the

popping cycle.

9. Immediately after the popping cycle is complete, rmly

place the black lid on the top of the popping bowl, grasp

handles and ip the popping bowl along with the popping

plate upside down, turning the popping plate away from

you (the popping bowl becomes a serving bowl).

WARNING: POPPING PLATE IS HOT. TOUCH ONLY

DESIGNATED HANDLES.

NOTE: Do not leave popped corn on the popping plate

after the popping cycle has been completed, as the

popping plate surface is still hot and could cause the

popped corn to overcook or burn.

10. Popcorn is now ready to serve. Top with salt or follow

the melting pot instructions to top popcorn with butter,

chocolate, caramel and more!

11. For consecutive batches, wipe popping plate with clean

cloth after each batch.

POPPING ADDITIONAL BATCHES

OF POPCORN

If you plan to pop multiple batches, transfer popcorn

from popping bowl to another serving bowl. Follow steps

1 through 11.

CAUTION: Popping plate is extremely hot after multiple

batches.

MELTING STATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before popping popcorn, begin melting the toppings. Typical

melting times will vary, as indicated on page 9. You may also

wish to pop multiple batches of popcorn while using the melting

station.

1. Remove the melting pot from

the base and remove cover.

2. Place the stirrer into the

melting pot. Be sure the

stirrer is placed in the

melting pot before adding your

ingredients. This will ensure the

stirring mechanism will work

properly.

3. Add ingredients to the melting

pot. Spread ingredients out

as evenly as possible in the

melting pot for best results.

Be sure not to add ingredients

above the MAX ll line.

4. Align the stirring arm with the

top of the melting pot lid so

that they lock into place.

5. Align the stirring arm and gear

assembly to ensure the cover

is locked into place.

6. Turn the melting station

control dial to LOW or HIGH

depending on the ingredients

being melted. (The indicator

light will illuminate.) To melt

chocolate or butter, refer to

the chart at right or to recipes

section.

9

NOTE: When melting new ingredients, begin by setting the

control dial to LOW and adjust if needed. The LOW setting

is similar to the LOW setting on a stovetop, while the HIGH

setting is similar to the MEDIUM setting on a stovetop.

Ingredients Setting Time

12 oz. Milk Chocolate Chips LOW 4–6 minutes

8 tbsp. Butter HIGH 3–5 minutes

7. Throughout the melting cycle, look through the lid to see

that ingredients are mixing properly and that nothing has

interfered with the stirrer.

NOTE: During the melting process, ingredients may rise up

and interfere with the stirring process. If this occurs, simply

realign the stirring arm with the gear assembly and be sure

that it is rotating properly.

8. Once melted, remove the melting pot, mix and pour the

mixture over freshly made popcorn or as described in the

recipe section. Use caution when removing the melting

pot from the base as the handle may be hot. Do not

use metal utensils to mix ingredients or scrape excess

ingredients from the melting pot.

9. Turn the melting station control dial to the OFF position.

TIPS & HINTS

• Do not ll the melting pot with ingredients past the MAX ll

line (2 cups).

• Melting pot has a nonstick interior, but to further reduce the

chance of sticking, spray cooking spray on the bottom of the

melting pot and on stirrer.

• Use a heatproof spatula to remove/scoop ingredients from the

melting pot.

• Soak the melting pot with stirrer in hot water immediately

after using. Some ingredients, such as caramel, will be

stubborn to remove.

• Semisweet chocolate chips do not melt well. Use milk

chocolate for best results.

10

• Spread ingredients out as evenly as possible in the melting

pot for faster results.

• During the melting process, ingredients may rise up and

interfere with the stirring process. If this occurs, simply realign

the stirring mechanism and be sure that it is rotating properly.

• While ingredients are melting, minimize the amount of times

that you open the lid, as this will interfere with the stirring

mechanism and ingredients may get dislodged.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Before performing any cleaning and maintenance operations,

be sure that the popcorn maker and melting station controls

are both in the OFF position and that the unit is unplugged

and cooled. Clean the popcorn maker and melting pot after

every use.

NOTE: Do NOT place parts in an automatic dishwasher.

Melting pot is NOT dishwasher safe.

To Clean the Popcorn Maker

1. Wash popping bowl, popping plate and lid in warm, soapy

water with a dishcloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and

dry. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder on lid as

these could cause scratching.

2. Clean surface of base with a damp, soapy dishcloth,

sponge or nylon scouring pad such as Scotch Brite

Cookware Scrub ’n Sponge®. Wipe surface with a damp

cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or

powders on nonstick nish, as scratching may occur. After

consistent use, the nonstick nish may discolor. To remove

discoloration, use a soft cloth saturated with lemon juice

or vinegar and rub over nish. Then wipe the nish with a

damp cloth and dry.

11

To Clean the Melting Station

Due to the type of ingredients being melted in the melting pot,

it is best to empty and clean the melting pot immediately after

each melting cycle is complete. Clean all parts by hand as

described below. Melting pot and parts are not dishwasher

safe.

1. Remove the melting pot from the base and remove the lid.

CAUTION: Melting pot and base are hot.

2. Remove the stirring arm from the lid by releasing the tabs

on the inside of the lid. Press down and out on the tabs

and gently pull the lid off. Wipe the stirring arm clean with a

damp, non-abrasive cloth. Do not submerge the stirring

arm in water.

3. Wash the lid, stirrer and melting pot in the sink with warm

soapy water, being sure to remove all residue. Do not use

metal utensils to scrape the inside of the melting pot.

NOTE: If you nd that ingredients are sticking to the bottom of

the melting pot, you can ll the melting pot with hot water up

to the max ll line. Replace the melting pot into the base, along

with the stirrer, lid and stirring arm properly assembled. Turn the

control knob to HIGH and run for approximately 3–5 minutes.

This will help to release any stubborn ingredients. After this,

repeat steps 1–3 above.

4. If any ingredients drip into the base of the melting pot, use

a damp, non-abrasive cloth to wipe clean. CAUTION: HOT.

5. Be sure that all parts are thoroughly dry before

reassembling.

Any other servicing should be performed by an Authorized

Service Representative.
