IMPORTANT CORD AND PLUG INFORMATION

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.

How To Use

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.
