How To Use

IMPORTANT CORD AND PLUG INFORMATION

As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will 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.

A short cord has been provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least 12.5 amps— 120 volts —1500 watts. 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 accidentally.

IMPORTANT: To assure proper operation, read and follow instructions carefully. Before using for the first time, wash the popper cover and butter melter in warm soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the popper base with a damp cloth. NEVER IMMERSE BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

1.Remove the cover and butter melter from the popper base, Fig. A.

2.Using the butter melter as your measuring cup, fill the butter melter with popcorn until it is LEVEL. Do not pack popcorn into cup or overfill. Pour popcorn into the popping chamber.

Important: Never fill the popping chamber past the fill line (Fig. B) as this could result in overheating, smoking, scorched corn, and may cause the unit to shut off. See the Important Information on page 3.

3.Place the cover in the cover groove, see Fig. B. Starting at the back of the cover, push down lightly until it is seated properly in the groove.

4.Position the butter melter on the cover with the tab

towards the back of the popper (Fig. A). Never pop corn without the butter melter in position on the cover. If you prefer buttered popcorn, put up to 3 tablespoons of SOFT butter or margarine in the butter melter. (Refrigerated butter will not melt during the short popping period.) Whether you melt butter or not, the butter melter must always be in position on the cover when popping corn.

Important: Do not place salt, butter, margarine, shortening, or microwave popcorn in the popping chamber.

5.Place a 4-quart or larger heat-proof bowl under the popping chute to collect popped corn. One batch will yield 3 to 5 quarts of popped popcorn.

6.Plug unit into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Popping will be completed within 2 to 3 minutes after it starts popping.

Important: Do not leave unit unattended while popping. Because the yield is so great with this popper, you may have to add a second bowl during popping.

Caution: Occasionally a hot unpopped kernel may be thrown from the popping chute. To avoid contact with hot kernels, keep your children and your face and hands well away from the popping chute during popping.

7.Unplug the unit when popping is complete. Some popped corn may remain in the chamber after popping has stopped.* To prevent scorching, unplug the popper without waiting for this corn to clear the unit. Because a few kernels may continue to pop even after the unit is unplugged, make sure all popping has stopped before removing the cover and butter melter. Care- fully remove the cover— use hot pads — and pour the remaining popcorn into the bowl, then immediately place the cover back on the unit.

NOTE: The cover is made of a costly material which absorbs intense heat without melting. Temperature can, however, affect its shape. To avoid temporary malformation of the cover, allow the cover to cool on the unit after popping.

*When popcorn remains in the chamber after popping and has not discharged, it is caused by variances in popcorn type, freshness, moisture content, or household current.

Corn Popper specifications

The Presto Corn Popper has been a beloved kitchen appliance for popcorn enthusiasts for decades. Renowned for its efficiency and effectiveness, this popper transforms raw corn kernels into fluffy popcorn ready to enjoy within minutes. One of the main features of the Presto Corn Popper is its high popping performance. Utilizing a powerful heating element, it can pop an impressive amount of corn in a short time. Many models can produce up to 18 cups of popcorn in just a few minutes, making it perfect for movie nights or gatherings.

Another significant feature is the innovative design that prioritizes heat distribution. The Presto Corn Popper employs a patented design that includes a dome-shaped lid. This structure maximizes the popping space and ensures that every kernel receives even heat, resulting in minimal unpopped kernels. The transparent top also allows users to watch their popcorn as it pops, adding an element of excitement to the experience.

In terms of technology, the Presto Corn Popper is distinguished by its hot air popping method. It uses superheated air to pop the kernels rather than oil, which promotes a healthier snack option with fewer calories while preserving the popcorn's natural flavor. This technology not only makes it easier to prepare popcorn but also aids in reducing cleanup efforts since there is no greasy residue left behind.

The Presto Corn Popper is designed with user convenience in mind. Most models feature a lightweight and compact body, making them easy to store and transport. The popping chamber is usually dishwasher-safe, simplifying the cleanup process, a much-appreciated characteristic for many home cooks.

Safety is another priority for Presto, as many of its poppers include features like a built-in safety switch to prevent overheating. Additionally, the non-slip base ensures stability during operation, reducing any risk of spills or accidents.

Overall, the Presto Corn Popper stands out in the kitchen appliance arena not just for its reliability but also for its commitment to delivering delicious popcorn quickly and healthily. Whether enjoyed plain or seasoned with various toppings, popcorn made in the Presto Corn Popper is a delightful treat that never goes out of style.
