OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Place the base of the appliance on a clean, flat surface. Caution: Do not let water or any other liquid drip into the base or on the heat shield.

2.Popping plate must lock securely to base before

unit will operate. Grip the locking levers up towards

the handles of popping

plate, which will open the lock. Place the plate on the base (handles of

popping plate should be

centered just above the side handles on base, see Fig.1). Once locking levers are released, the popping plate should be locked to the base.

NOTE: the unit will not operate if popping plate is not positioned correctly. Rotate

plate very slightly back and forth until you feel the plate fall into place within the safety mechanism.

3.Add approximately 2 teaspoons of cooking oil to popping plate (see Tips and Hints, next page, for recommended measurements). We recommend using vegetable or canola oil, but any type is suitable except olive oil.

4.Add kernels to popping plate. We recommend

1⁄3 cup of kernels, especially if using premium popcorn. The measuring cup provided is 1⁄2-cup capacity, and also clearly marked for 1⁄3 cup. See Tips and Hints, next page.

Gently lift plate and bowl from the base (see fig.2). Turn over and place the bottom of bowl on a flat surface (see fig.3).

10.To avoid any burning of popcorn, flip the bowl

as soon as popping		Fig. 4
is complete.

11.Lift the popping plate off the bowl by its handles, and immediately return the plate onto the base to cool (see fig.4).

CAUTION: After popping, the plate is EXTREMELY HOT. Do not put fingers near the plate. After turning the bowl over to serve, simply return popping plate directly

to the base.

12.Rotation shaft continues turning until unit is switched OFF manually.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We recommend letting the popcorn maker cool for at least 5 to 10 minutes between popping cycles. If the heat builds up from too many consecutive cycles,

a safety mechanism may shut down functioning temporarily, in order to let unit cool down again. (After 2 or more consecutive popping cycles, this might happen mid-cycle.) Once cooled

to room temperature, unit will be able to start again.

CLEANING AND

5.Place the inverted bowl on top of the popping plate.
