3. Place a 4-qt. or larger bowl or rectangular container under the chute. The bowl should not be more than
6 inches high, so that air can circulate freely under the chute. Choose a heat-proof bowl. If a plastic bowl is
used, be sure it will withstand heat without melting. A metal bowl may become hot to the touch, but it will
tend to keep the popcorn warmer.
4. Plug unit into a 120 V AC outlet and press the ON/OFF switch to ON (|).
5. Using the measuring cap to melt butter:
The measuring cap/butter tray may be used to melt butter while the unit pops the kernels. For best results,
cut butter into 1⁄4-inch slices before placing in measuring cap. Allow butter to come to room temperature.
Never add more than 1⁄4 cup of butter to the measuring cap. Use the handle of the cap to remove melted
butter from the Popcorn Popper lid.
Always wash and dry the measuring cap/butter tray after each batch of buttered popcorn. Always use a
clean measuring cap to measure kernels.
6. Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF (O) and unplug the unit when popping is complete.
CAUTION: Never operate the Popcorn Popper when empty.
7. Due to variances in the popcorn type, freshness and moisture content, some popped or unpopped kernels
may remain in the popping chamber after the popping has stopped. To prevent scorching, unplug the
Popcorn Popper without waiting for this corn to clear the unit.
CAUTION: AS KERNELS MAY CONTINUE TO POP EVEN AFTER UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, MAKE SURE ALL
POPPING HAS STOPPED BEFORE REMOVING COVER.
CAUTION: USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT SURFACES OF THE HOT AIR POPCORN POPPER.
ALLOW POPCORN POPPER LID TO COOL ON THE POPPER BASE AFTER POPPING.
For Additional Batches
1. For additional batches, unplug unit. Make sure the popping chamber is empty. Carefully remove excess
popcorn or remaining unpopped kernels.
2. Allow 15 minutes for the Popcorn Popper to cool before continuing to pop additional batches of popcorn.
3. Then repeat the procedure described previously.
