HOW TO USE

HOW TO USE YOUR POPCORN MAKER

1. Place the Popcorn Maker on a level surface and plug it into an electrical outlet.
2. Place vegetable oil onto the Cooking Surface according to the chart on pg. 7. (Fig. 1) Measure corn kernels in the included Measuring Cup. (Fig. 2)
3. Add kernels to the Cooking Surface. Add the clear cover to the base of the Popcorn Maker.
   • NOTE: DO NOT attach the Measuring Cup to the top of the Popcorn Maker, as the Steam Vents must remain open.
4. For additional buttery flavor, add a pat of butter to the top of the Cover (where the Steam Vents are located) to heat while cooking. (Fig. 3). It is recommended to use 1 tbsp butter per 1/4 cup popcorn.
5. Press the Power Button to start cooking (Fig. 4). Depending on the amount of popcorn and size of kernels, it may take 3-4 minutes for the popcorn to begin popping.
6. Once popping has slowed to one kernel every three seconds or longer, turn the Power Button off and unplug the Popcorn Maker.
7. Add the Measuring Cup to the top of the Cover (Fig. 5). It should fit securely into place.
8. Hold the Bowl Handle and the Base Handle together and flip the popcorn maker over. You can also hold by the Measuring Cup and the Base of the Popcorn Maker. (Fig. 6)
   • NOTE: DO NOT directly grab the clear cover or the cooking surface, as both will be hot after cooking. Use oven mitts if desired for additional safety!
9. Remove the Base and serve (Fig. 7). Be sure to open the Popcorn Maker so the steam escapes away from you, as steam will be hot. Use oven gloves or a towel.
   • NOTE: Please wait approximately 10-12 minutes before using the Popcorn Make again, otherwise it will overheat.
   • TIP: If kernels are not popping as much as desired, try soaking them in water for 10 minutes to add moisture. This can also result in fluffier popcorn.
   • Note: If popcorn is old and completely dry, it will not pop.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Be sure to allow the Popcorn Maker to cool before cleaning. Remove the Stirring Rod from the Base by unscrewing the Rotary Knob (Fig. 8). Use a damp, frictionless sponge or damp cloth to clean the Base and the Stirring Rod before reattaching (Fig. 9)
2. Wash the Cover/Bowl and Measuring Cup in warm soapy water with a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth. The Cover/Bowl and Measuring Cup are toprack dishwasher safe.
3. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel.
   • NOTE: DO NOT submerge the Base into water or other liquids.
