Important Cord Information
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to
fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
• Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Before First Use
1. Become familiar with the various parts of the popper (Fig. A) and read and follow the instructions carefully.
2. Prior to making your first batch of popcorn, wash the cover/serving bowl in
warm, sudsy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not wash in an automatic
dishwasher.
Wipe the popping tray with a damp cloth. WARNING! To protect against
electrical hazards, never fill the base of your popper with water, immerse it
in water or other liquid, or wash it in a dishwasher.
How To Use
1. Open the two restrictors without the lever and pour a level ½ cup of popping
corn into the popping chamber for a full batch of popcorn. Return the restric-
tors to the closed position. (If a smaller quantity is desired, you can use as
little as 2 tablespoons of popping corn.)
NOTE: Two of the restrictors will open completely, but the restrictor with
the lever (this is the restrictor above the cord) will only open partially. This
is by design. Do not force the third restrictor open completely.
IMPORTANT: Never use more than a level ½ cup of popping corn. Over-
loading the popping chamber may cause the unit to overheat and shut off. It
may also cause smoking and scorched corn.
WARNING! Do not place salt, seasoning, butter, margarine, shortening, or
microwave popcorn in the popping chamber as this could damage the popper
and cause a fire hazard.
2. Place the cover/serving bowl over the popper base so the cover handles align with the base handles.
3. Remove the serving bowl lid to allow steam to vent during popping. NOTICE: Failure to remove the lid will result in chewy popcorn
and may result in melting of the lid and the cover vents.
4. Plug the popper into a 120VAC electrical outlet. Popping will begin in approximately 1½ minutes. When you plug the unit in and
also during popping, you may notice popcorn chaff releasing from the popping chamber as a result of the hot air blowing. This is
normal.
5. Near the end of the popping cycle, when making a full batch, you may notice a buildup of popped corn on one side of the cover. If
the buildup approaches the cover vents, grasp the cover handles and popper base handles and gently shake the popper in a back and
forth motion a couple of times.
