INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Champion Retro Popcorn maker. With its stylish 1950S look, this popcorn will be the hit of every party! It features a large, stainless steel kettle with a built-in stirring system and pops up to 8 cups of popcorn per batch. It includes a measuring spoon for oil and a measuring cup for popcorn kernels, so every batch pops perfectly. A tempered window and light allow you to watch the popcorn popping, and the kernel catcher keeps unpopped corn out of every scoop. With the Champion Retro Popcorn maker, popcorn has never tasted so good at home!
PARTS
Your CHAMPION RETRO POPCORN MAKER comes fully assembled. Simply insert the kettle into brackets and screw in the crank handle.
HOW TO OPERATE
Before first use, clean the inside of the unit by wiping with a moist, non- abrasive sponge, towel, or cloth, and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Wipe down the inside of the kettle and make sure it is properly placed in the brackets before starting.
- First, find a flat surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if need.
- Gather your popcorn-making supplies: popcorn, seasonings, bowls or bags for holding the popcorn, cooking oil, kernel measuring cup, and oil measuring spoon.
- Plugin the appliance while the switch is flipped to the OFF position.
- Make sure the kettle is properly secured in support brackets.
- Make sure the kettle motor is plugged in.
- Turn the appliance ON by flipping the switch on the top of the machine. Allow the appliance to run for 3-5 minutes to heat up the kettle.
- Turn unit OFF.
- Use the oil measuring spoon supplied with your CHAMPION RETRO POPCORN MAKER to add 2/3 tablespoon of your favorite popcorn cooking oil to the kettle. For best popping results, it is suggested to use light vegetable oil.
- Add 2/3 cup (2 oz) popcorn kernels to the kettle using supplied kernel measuring cup.
- Turn the unit ON and close the door. In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin. Fresh, hot popcorn will begin to burst out of the flip lids on the kettle – just like at the theater!
- Once the kernels have stopped popping, tip the kettle using the red knob on the Crank Handle to release the popcorn.
Helpful tips:
If your CHAMPION RETRO POPCORN MAKER begins to smoke during cooking, it may be
due to grease buildup. In order to reduce smoking, make sure that you clean
the inside of the Kettle between uses.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
- Make sure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning. Unplug the outer plug to the outlet as the kettle motor plug inside the main unit.
- Use a slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge, towel, or cloth to wipe down the inside and outside of the main unit, then wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.
- Unplug the kettle motor and remove the kettle from support brackets. (the cable is not detachable)
- Take the kettle out of the main unit. After removing the kettle from the main unit, fill 2/3 of the kettle with hot, soapy water.
- Let the kettle sit for 15-20 minutes to cut the grease. (time may vary-use your own judgment depending on the amount of cleaning necessary)
- Empty the water. If necessary, use the scrubber side of a cleaning sponge to scrub inside of the kettle.
- Rinse inside carefully and dry.
- Wipe outside of kettle with a damp cloth and dry.
NOTE:
To protect the motor plug from getting wet, never immerse the kettle in any
liquid. Never place any parts in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.
