OPERATION
Before use

- Put the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Make sure the power supply parameters of the appliance match the parameters of the local mains.
Making popcorn
-
Install the cover on the appliance.
-
Make sure the kernels you are going to use have been dried thoroughly.
-
Put a measured amount of kernels into the popping chamber.
CAUTION! Neither put less nor more than 1 measuring cup of kernels into the popping chamber. Do not put any other ingredients, such as oil, butter, olive oil, sugar, margarine, etc. into the popping chamber. They could damage the appliance. -
Place the measuring cup on the top cover, with the bottom downwards, so that it covers the opening at the top of the cover. If this is not done, the popcorn will escape from the appliance through the opening.
-
If you want to add some butter, put no more than 2 tablespoons of butter into the measuring cup to be placed on the appliance. The heat produced in the process of making popcorn will melt the butter in the measuring cup so that you can pour it over the popped popcorn.
CAUTION! The butter must not get into the appliance! You can melt butter only with the measuring cup provided. Grease, oil, or other liquid ingredients may cause damage to the appliance. -
Place a bowl or a container made of heat-resistant material under the cover outlet.
-
Connect the appliance to a power source.
-
Turn the appliance on by pressing the power button.
-
After a short time, you will hear the sound of popping kernels, and popcorn will start coming out of the chute outlet into the bowl. The process should take no longer than 2 minutes, depending on the amount of kernels.
-
When all the kernels are popped, turn the appliance off with the power button. Remove the plug from the outlet socket.
-
Before you prepare another portion of popcorn, let the appliance cool down for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove any residue from the appliance remaining from previously made popcorn. Be careful so as not to burn yourself.
Attention: An unpleasant odor may be produced during the first use of the appliance. This is absolutely normal. Provide sufficient ventilation.
