SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be:
(1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V, and at least 13 A.,
1625 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over accidentally.
POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug,
(one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk
of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a separate electric circuit from other appliances.
This product is for household use only.

Using Your Hot Air Popcorn Popper
Fill out warranty information that follows the limited warranty in this book.
1. Before using for the first time, wash popper cover and measuring
cup in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Remove popper cover and measuring cup from popper base. Fill the
measuring cup with kernels and add to popping chamber. Do not
overfill measuring cup - kernels should be level in measuring cup.
1
Measuring cup = 1⁄2 cup. Never add more than ⁄2 cup of popcorn
kernels to the popping chamber at one time. Do not put any other
ingredients such as oil, shortening, butter, margarine, salt and sugar
into popping chamber as damage will occur.
3. Place popper cover onto base, positioning bottom edge of cover
into groove of base. Place measuring cup onto popper cover.
Never pop corn without popper cover and measuring cup in
position.
4. Plug unit into a 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet and press the On/ Off
Switch to On (I). Note: The measuring cup may be used to melt butter
1
while the unit pops the kernels. Never add more than ⁄2 cup of butter to
the measuring cup. For best results, cut butter into 1⁄4 slices before placing
in measuring cup. When using the measuring cup to measure kernels,
always wash and dry the measuring cup after each batch of popcorn
when melting butter.
5. Press the On/ Off Switch to Off (O) and unplug the unit when
popping is complete. Do not operate this unit empty. Due to
variances in the popcorn type, freshness and moisture content,
some popped or unpopped kernels may remain in the chamber
after the popping has stopped. To prevent scorching, unplug the
popper without waiting for this corn to clear the unit.

CAUTION: AS KERNELS MAY CONTINUE TO POP EVEN AFTER
UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, MAKE SURE ALL POPPING HAS
STOPPED BEFORE REMOVING COVER.
CAUTION: USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT
SURFACES OF THE UNIT. TO AVOID TEMPORARY
MALFORMATION OF THE COVER, ALLOW IT TO COOL ON
THE UNIT BASE AFTER POPPING.
6. For additional batches, unplug unit. Make sure the popping
chamber is empty. Carefully remove excess popcorn or left over
unpopped kernels. Then repeat steps 2 through 6. Note: When
popping more than one or two batches of corn, allow the popper to cool down
for at least 10 minutes.
Helpful Hints
N This popcorn popper is designed to pop regular and premium
brands of popcorn. Try different brands to find the one you like
best. Yellow kernels generally pop larger than white. One half cup
unpopped kernels will yield approximately 3 quarts of popcorn.
N Always use fresh popcorn. Stale or dried-out popcorn pops poorly
and may cause scorching or smoking.
N Carefully select the bowl you will be using to collect popped corn.
A metal bowl may become very hot to the touch due to the flow of
hot air from the chute and must be handled carefully. It will,
however, tend to keep the popcorn warm. If a plastic bowl is used,
be certain it can withstand the heat caused by the warm air flow
without melting.
1
N Never use more than ⁄2 cup of kernels per batch.
N Never add salt, sugar or other flavorings into popping chamber.
N This is an AIR corn popper. Popcorn will pop by circulating hot
air. Oils, fats or shortening are not needed and should never be
used. Do not use microwave popcorn in this appliance.
