SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or  tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Clean the cover/bowl and measuring cup with a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth before using. Turn the Rotary Knob counterclockwise to remove the stirring rod from the Rotary Knob.
2. Wipe the Stirring Rod and Cooking Surface with a non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth. Install the Stirring Rod, make sure the Stirring Rod aligns with the Rotary Knob, and tighten the Rotary Knob clockwise to secure.

QUARTS OF POPPED CORN| AMOUNT OF OIL| AMOUNT OF POPCORN KERNELS| AMOUNT OF BUTTER
---|---|---|---
1| 1/2 tbsp.| 2 tbsp.| 1/2 tbsp.
2| 1 tbsp.| 4 tbsp.| 1 tbsp.
3| 1 1/2 tbsp.| 6 tbsp.| 1 1/2 tbsp.

HOW TO USE YOUR POPCORN MAKER

1. Place the Popcorn Maker on a level surface and plug into electrical outlet.

2. Place vegetable oil onto the Cooking Surface according to 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 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 top rack dishwasher safe.
3. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel.
   NOTE: DO NOT submerge the Base into water or other liquids.
