OPERATION GUIDELINES
NOTE: Before using Popcorn Maker for the first time, we recommend you clean the chamber and its accessories following the instructions under CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.
Caution: it is not allowed to put any butter, shortening, sugar, salt or oil, as it will destroy the machine.
Place the Popcorn Maker on a flat, dry and level surface.
- Remove the transparent cover from the main body.
- Using the measuring spoon provided, measure a proper amount of popping corn and pour it into the main chamber. Do not use more than one spoon of corn in your Popcorn Maker at one time.
- Put the measuring spoon back into the transparent cover after each use.
- Reposition the transparent cover so it sits firmly on the body of the unit.
- Place a large bowl beneath the Popcorn Makers chute to catch the popcorn.
- Insert the plug into a power outlet and switch on the appliance.
- After a few moments, the popcorn will shoot out the chamber and into the bowl.
- When it is finished popping, turn off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket.
WARNING: wait for the unit to cool down at least 5 minutes between each cycle, otherwise the corn will heat up too much and will not pop.
WARNING: turn off the unit after each end of cycle by pressing the ON/OFF switch, otherwise it will restart by itself after a few minutes.
CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE POPCORN MAKER COVER DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPERATION. THE UNIT WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT.
Note:
- This device is made with an anti-overheating safety that stops the functional after about 2 mins.
- Never run the unit empty.
- A small number of unexploded corn can be ejected from the device, this is normal and depends on the quality of the corn used as well as the filling of the measuring spoon.
- For best results we advise to not fill the spoon to its maximum (approx. 50g of corn) but at ¾ (approx. 35g of corn).
