HOW to Operate

Popcorn Popper

1.Place the popper base on flat, level, dry surface.

2.Pour 11/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 1/2 a cup of popping corn into popper base. This will yield 2-3 quarts of popped corn. Do not add more popping corn or oil than recommended. Spread the corn and oil evenly over the non-stick surface.

3.Do not substitute butter, margarine, shortening or lard for vegetable oil as these will burn or smoke excessively.

4.Place popper cover on the base making sure the handles of cover fit into handles of popper base.

5.Remove the plastic cap on the top of the cover.

6.Add 11/2 tablespoons of butter (or margarine) into the butter well (optional).

7.Plug the popper into a power outlet and turn the switch “on”. The popper will turn on and the stir ring rod will begin turning.

8.The typical popping time will be about 31/2 - 4 minutes for a 1/2 cup of popping corn.

NOTE: Preheating is not necessary before popping. Do not touch the popping cover or base during operation.

9.When the popping begins to slow down after about 31/2 minutes, turn the power switch “off” and unplug cord from wall outlet.

10.Securely replace the plastic cap on the popper cover.

11.Firmly grasp the handles and completely turn the popper base and cover over in one smooth motion away from your body. The popped popcorn will fall into the popper cover.

12.Lift the popper base away from the cover, being careful of the escaping steam.

13.The popcorn is now ready for serving. Sprinkle the popcorn with salt, if desired.

14.If you plan to pop more corn immediately, transfer the popcorn into a serving bowl and follow steps 1 through 11 above.

Note: The max operation time should not exceed 20 minutes and minimum 20 minutes cool down period must be maintained between two consecutive popping cycles.
