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.
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. Pour
1
⁄
2
LEVEL cup popcorn into the popping cham-
ber. Use the butter melter to measure
1
⁄
2
cup or fill to
the line in the popping chamber. DO NOT USE MORE
THAN
1
⁄
2
CUP POPCORN. Overloading the chamber
will cause overheating, smoking, scorched corn, and
may cause the unit to shut off. Note:
1
⁄
2
level cup un-
popped corn will yield 3 to 5 quarts of popcorn.
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.
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.
4. Place the butter melter on the cover. 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.)
Do not place salt, butter, margarine, shortening, or microwave popcorn in the
popping chamber.
Whether you melt butter or not, the butter melter must always be in position on the cover
when popping corn.
5. Place a 4-quart or larger heat-proof bowl under the popping chute to collect popped
corn.
6. Plug unit into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Popping will be completed within 2 to 3
minutes after it starts popping.
Caution: 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 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. Carefully remove the cover—use hot
pads—and pour the remaining popcorn into the bowl, then place the cover back on the unit.
Because a few kernels may continue to pop even after the unit is unplugged, make sure all popping has stopped before re
-
moving the cover and butter melter.
*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.
8. If butter was melted in the butter melter, carefully grasp the butter melter and pour the butter over the popped corn. Sprinkle
the popcorn with salt if desired.
