WARNNG: Stay clear of the chute while the appliance is operating.

NOTES ON THE PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

NOTES ON THE CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type,the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the counter upper or table upper or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter upper or table upper. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur, or stains can appear.

Before Using for the First Time

Carefully unpack the Popcorn Maker and remove all packaging materials.
Wash measuring cap/butter tray and clean Popcorn Maker lid in warm,
soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
Place the Popcorn Maker base on a clean, flat, heat-resistant working surface.
CAUTION: During popping, the unit gets hot. Make sure the surface is able to withstand heat or use a trivet to protect the working surface.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Operating Instructions

Remove Popcorn Maker lid and measuring cap/butter tray. Fill one measuring cap with kernels and add to popping chamber. (Figure 2)

CAUTION: Never add more than 1 measuring cap of popcorn kernels to the popping chamber at one time. Do not put any other ingredients such as oil, shortening, butter, margarine, salt or sugar into popping chamber as damage will occur. Do not overfill.
Place Popcorn Maker lid onto the Popcorn Maker base, positioning bottom edge of Popcorn Maker lid into grooves of the base (Figure 3). Place measuring cap/butter tray onto Popcorn Maker Lid.

CAUTION: Never pop corn without Popcorn Maker lid and measuring cap/ butter tray in position.
Place a 5-qt. or larger bowl or rectangular container under the chute. (Figure 4) The bowl should not be more than 6 inches high, so that air can circulate freely under the chute. Choose a heat-proof bowl. If a plastic bowl is used, be sure it will withstand heat without melting. A metal bowl may become hot to the touch, but it will tend to keep the popcorn warmer.
Plug unit into a 120 V AC outlet and press the ON/OFF switch to ON (|) (Figure 5).
The measuring cap/butter tray may be used to melt butter while the unit pops the kernels. (Figure 6) For best results, cut butter into 1⁄4-inch (0.6 cm) slices. Allow butter to come to room temperature. Never add more than 1⁄4 cup (50 ml) of butter to the measuring cap. Use the handle of the cap to remove melted butter from the lid. Always wash and dry the measuring cap/butter tray after each batch of buttered popcorn. Use a clean measuring cap to measure kernels.
Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF (O) and unplug the unit when popping is complete.
CAUTION: Never operate the Popcorn Maker when empty.
Due to variances in the popcorn type, freshness and moisture content, some popped or unpopped kernels may remain in the popping chamber after the popping has stopped. To prevent scorching, unplug the Popcorn Maker without waiting for this corn to clear the unit.

CAUTION: AS KERNELS MAY CONTINUE TO POP EVEN AFTER UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, MAKE SURE ALL POPPING HAS STOPPED BEFORE REMOVING COVER.
CAUTION: USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT SURFACES OF THE HOT AIR POPCORN MAKER. ALLOW POPCORN MAKER LID TO COOL ON THE POPPER BASE AFTER POPPING.

For Additional Batches

For additional batches, unplug unit. Make sure the popping chamber is empty. Carefully remove excess popcorn or remaining unpopped kernels.
Allow 15 minutes for the Popcorn Maker to cool before continuing to pop additional batches of popcorn.
Then repeat the procedure described previously.

Cautions

This is a hot air Popcorn Maker. Never add oils, fats, shortening, sugar, or salt to the popping chamber.
This Popcorn Maker is designed to be used with regular or premium hot air popcorn; do not use microwave popcorn in this Popcorn Maker.
Always use fresh hot air popcorn kernels; stale or dried-out kernels pop poorly and may cause scorching or smoking.
It is not necessary to preheat this appliance before using; never plug in or operate unit when empty.
Never leave unit unattended while using.
Always keep lid on base until all popping is complete. Unplug unit before removing the lid.
Occasionally, a hot, unpopped kernel may be thrown from the chute. To avoid any contact with hot kernels, keep face and hands away from the chute, and keep children away from the unit.
