Place transparent cover on the opening of the popping chamber and place the combined measuring tray/butter dish onto the opening on top of the cover.
Place a large heat proof bowl directly under the popping chute to collect the popcorn.
Switch the Popcorn Factory on by pressing down on the On/Off switch, which is located on the side of the machine. Ensure there are no obstructions inside or below the chute which could obstruct the popped corn from falling directly into the bowl.
WARNING. As this unit performs by circulating very hot air in its chamber, it is important to check to ensure that no corn (popped or otherwise) is caught in the heating section, as burning will result with a subsequent emission of smoke.
CAUTION. Some hot unpopped corn may be thrown from the machine during the popping process. Be sure to place the quick popper facing away from you; do not stand in front of the machine while it is in operation.
When the Popcorn Factory stops popping corn in the heating chamber, switch the machine off.
Note: If buttered popcorn is desired, place up to 45ml (2 tablespoons) of butter in a single layer in the combined measuring tray/butter dish, which is placed on top of the transparent cover.The butter will melt during the popping period.
Do not remove the combination measuring tray and butter dish from the Popcorn Factory cover until the popping
cycle is complete and the machine has been turned off.
After the popcorn has been popped and collected in the heat proof bowl, pour the butter onto the popcorn.
IMPORTANT: Do not place any oils, salt, shortening, butter or margarine in the popping chamber.The Popcorn Factory operates without oil. Use of such substances will cause hazards and could cause damage to the unit.
If you plan to pop more corn, allow the Popcorn Factory to cool for at least 10 minutes. Remove any unpopped corn left in the popping chamber using oven mitts to lift the cover off the base, turn base upside down to remove unpopped corn. Do not place hands inside the popping chamber as it becomes very hot during operation. Replace the cover and start again.
CAUTION. Do not operate the Popcorn Factory in excess of 5 minutes. Some corn kernels may not pop and should be discarded. Allow the machine to cool down for a further 10 minutes between uses.
CARE AND CLEANING
The Popcorn Factory should be cleaned after each use. Always turn the power Off, and then turn the machine off at the power outlet. Remove the plug from the power outlet and allow to cool before cleaning.
Wipe the outside of the Popcorn Factory base with a dampened cloth and wipe dry.
