POPPING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure the popcorn maker is unplugged before you do any of the following.
2. Clean the internal surface of the kettle with warm, sudsy water, rinse well, and dry with a clean cloth. Wipe down the inner and outer housing with a damp cloth.
3. The main unit has 2 function switches as follows:
   • Light/Warmer combination POP switch to turn heater and stirrer on
4. Hook the kettle onto the hanger of the main unit.
5. Plug the power cord into an electric outlet.
6. Insert the internal plug into the socket (see Figure 5, previous page).
7. Turn the light switch to the ON position and the POP switch to the ON position. The stirrer will begin to rotate in the kettle. Let the stainless steel kettle preheat about 1 to 2 minutes.
   • Open the lid and add oil (1 tablespoon of vegetable, corn, peanut, or safflower oil). Immediately add ½ cup of corn kernels and close the lid to the kettle.
   • Caution: The lid might be hot – it is recommended to use an oven mitt.
   • NOTE: For your convenience, the lid to the kettle is magnetized. Before adding oil or popcorn to the kettle, lift the kettle handle toward the top of the unit until the magnetic connection is made.
8. Popcorn starts popping out through the lid after about 2 minutes. Yields up to 12 cups per batch in less than 2½ minutes.
9. When the unit is finished popping – you will no longer hear the corn popping – immediately turn the POP switch to the OFF position and rotate the roller bar of the kettle down to release any remaining popcorn in the popper. This will also stop the remaining popcorn from cooking any further and avoid possible burning.
10. The light/warmer may be left in the ON position.
11. Keep the POP switch OFF if the unit is not continuously in use.
12. Keep only the Light/Warmer switch on.
13. Remove the plug from the power supply if the unit is not being used.
14. Repeat steps 7 to 10 for continuous popping.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• After using the popcorn machine, use a wet cloth to clean the main unit, main body, and glass.
• It is strongly recommended to wash and dry the tray after each use to avoid any bacteria buildup.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

LIGHT/WARMER

• The Light/Warmer bulb can be replaced with a 120V, 60W maximum bulb only.

QUICK CLEANING PROCEDURE

• Turn the POP control to OFF. Pour 5 to 8 ounces of water (NO detergent is necessary) into the inner pot.
• Switch to ON to boil the water and let the stirrer turn to remove excess oil stuck on the surface.
• After about 1 to 2 minutes of boiling, pour out the water into a deep bowl or sink to discard.
• Or, remove the kettle and clean it with a scouring pad. Do not immerse the kettle or electrical plug in water.
• CAUTION: THE KETTLE IS HOT.
