INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the SMART KETTLE POPCORN MAKER. With its stylish 1950s look, this popcorn popper will be the hit of every party! It features a large, stainless steel Kettle with a built-in 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. With the SMART KETTLE POPCORN MAKER, popcorn has never tasted so good at home!
PARTS & ASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLY
Your SMART KETTLE POPCORN MAKER comes fully assembled. Simply insert the Kettle into brackets and place the Pull Out Tray in the bottom of the unit.
HOW TO OPERATE
Before first 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
-
First, find a flat 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.
-
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.)
-
Plug in the appliance while switch is flipped to OFF position.
-
Make sure Kettle is properly secured in support brackets.
-
Make sure Kettle motor is plugged in.
-
Turn appliance ON by flipping the switch on the top of the machine. Allow the
appliance to run 2-3 minutes to heat up Kettle. -
Turn unit OFF.
-
Use the Oil Measuring Spoon supplied with your SMART 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.
-
Add ¼ cup (2-oz.) popcorn kernels to the Kettle using supplied Kernel Measuring Cup.
-
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 flip lids on the Kettle – just like at the theater!
-
Once the kernels have stopped popping, tip the Kettle using the red knob on the Crank Handle to release the popcorn into the Pull Out Tray.
-
You may use the Pull Out Tray as a serving dish.
-
Turn unit OFF and unplug from electrical outlet. Allow to cool completely, then follow

HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
SMOKING
If your SMART 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. Organic popping corn is not recommended for use in your SMART KETTLE POPCORN MAKER as it has a harder husk and will result in more unpopped kernels.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
- 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.
- Use slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth to wipe down the insideb and outside of Main Unit, then wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.

- Take Kettle out of the Main Unit. After removing Kettle from Main Unit, fill 2 /3 of Kettle with hot, soapy water.
- 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.)
- Empty water. If necessary, use the scrubber side of a cleaning sponge to scrub inside of Kettle.
- Rinse inside carefully and dry.
- Wipe outside of Kettle with damp cloth and dry.
- Reattach Kettle to Main Unit
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.
