Getting Acquainted

Before using your Presto→ PowerPop→ multi-popper, please read the following information.

This popper was specially designed to work in most microwave ovens. There are however a few ultra-compact models, with cavity sizes less than 6 inches tall by 10 inches wide, in which it will not fit. If your microwave has a removable tray or turntable, be sure the tray or turntable is in place whenever you use your PowerPop→ multi-popper.

Make sure your microwave oven is compatible with the Presto→ PowerPop→ multi-popper. Your microwave popper has been tested in a wide variety of microwave ovens and found to work superbly. However, the function and condition of microwave ovens may vary greatly. Because there have been literally hundreds of different model microwave ovens produced over the last twenty years, it was not possible to test the popper in every microwave oven. Be sure you check the operating manual for your microwave oven to see if popping popcorn is permitted.

During each use of the popper, we ask that you do the following:

a. Check that the microwave oven is clean and free of food/grease residue according to manufacturer’s instructions. b. Remain near the microwave oven during the popping period.

c. Look through the window of the microwave oven throughout the popping period.

d. If you notice anything unusual (e.g., a peculiar odor, sparking etc.), immediately turn off and unplug your microwave oven. Leave the microwave oven door closed. If you notice anything unusual about the PowerPop→ microwave popper, please call the Presto Consumer Service Department at 1-800-877-0441. If there is a problem relating to the function of your microwave oven, please call an authorized service center identified by the microwave oven manufacturer.

Before using your Presto→ PowerPop→ multi-popper, study the diagram below to become familiar with the various parts of the unit and read the instructions carefully. Before initial use and after each subsequent use, remove the popping bowl from the PowerBase™ concentrator by rotating the bowl either clockwise or counterclockwise until the locking tabs on the bowl are no longer aligned with the locking tabs on the base. Lift the popping bowl off the base and wash the bowl and cover in warm, sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly, or wash in the dishwasher. Do not immerse the PowerBase™ concentrator in water. Wipe the PowerBase™ concentrator with a damp cloth to clean.

The Presto→ PowerPop→ microwave multi-popper is the first microwave popper that really works. Its secret is the combination of the permanent PowerBase™ concentrator with the replaceable PowerCup→ concentrator. Apart, neither pops corn well; together, however, they pop corn superbly. Although the PowerCup→ concentrator is a disposable part, it is designed for multiple uses. The number of uses will vary from microwave to microwave with up to 12 batches when using the popper with oil and up to 24 batches when using the popper without oil. You will know it is time to replace the concentrator when either you are getting more unpopped kernels than usual or if the top layer of the concentrator is cracked or torn. For more information on the use and care of the PowerCup→ concentrator, see pages 4 and 5.

There is a package of PowerCup→ concentrators packed inside your popper. Additional packages should be available wherever the poppers are sold. You may also order them directly from Presto. See the order form on page 8.

Important: Use only genuine Presto→ PowerCup→ concentrators. Use of any other concentrator or microwave crisping paper will damage your Presto→ PowerPop→ multi-popper and void its warranty. You will know the concentrator is genuine by the target on its face.
