POPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Follow assembly procedure.
2. Make sure the popcorn maker is unplugged before
you do any of the following.
3. Before using the unit, please check carefully to be sure
voltage (120V – 60 Hz ) is suitable to your home.
4. Clean the internal surface of the kettle with warm sudsy
water, rinse well and dry with a clean cloth. Wipe down
inner and outer housing with damp cloth.
5. Main unit has a 2-function switch as follows:
– POP to turn heater, stirrer and light on
– OFF to turn power off
6. Insert the internal plug into the socket (see gure 4,
previous page).
7. Plug the power cord into an electric outlet.
8. Before pouring oil or popcorn, lift lid up using the
lid tab. Turn the switch to the POP position. The
stirrer will begin to rotate in the kettle. Let the stainless
steel kettle preheat about 2 to 3 minutes. Add oil
(1 tablespoon of vegetable, corn, peanut, or safower
oil). Immediately add 1/3cup of corn kernels (Note:
1/3measuring cup included) and close lid to the kettle.
Caution: Lid might be hot – it is recommended to
use an oven mitt.
9. Popcorn starts popping out through the lid after about
2 minutes. Yields up to 8 cups per batch in less than
3 minutes.
10. When unit is nished popping – you will no longer
hear the corn popping – immediately turn switch to the
Off position and rotate the knob of the kettle down to
release any remaining popcorn in the popper. This will
also stop the remaining popcorn from cooking any
further and avoid possible burning.

12. Remove plug from power supply if the unit is not
being used.
13. Repeat steps 8 to 10 for continuous popping.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
It is strongly recommended to clean the kettle frequently to
avoid burning excess oil onto the bottom of the inner pot.
After using the popcorn machine, let it cool, and use a
wet cloth to clean the main unit, main body and door.
It is strongly recommended to wash and dry the tray after
each use to avoid any bacteria buildup. The light bulb is
replaceable with a 120 volt/10 watt bulb.
QUICK CLEANING PROCEDURE
Turn the POP control to Off. Pour 4 to 6 ounces of water
(NO detergent is necessary) into inner pot. Switch to POP
to boil the water and let the stirrer turn in order to remove
excess oil stuck on the surface. After cooling, pour out
the water into a deep bowl and discard after about 1 to 2
minutes of boiling. CAUTION: THE KETTLE IS HOT.
Or, remove the kettle and clean it with a Scotch-Brite®
scouring pad. Do not immerse kettle or electrical plug
in water.
