will spin, and the kettle will begin heating. The tilt door may be left open to scoop
popcorn as it pops, or may be closed until popping is complete.
5. After about 4 minutes, popcorn should begin to pop. Let popcorn pop until there
is a pause of 2-3 seconds between pops. Turn "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF." Using
a hotpad or oven mitt, tilt the kettle using the handle to remove any remaining
popcorn or kernels. Note: The lightbulb is controlled by the "ON/OFF" switch.
Turning the popper off will turn the light off.
6. If popping more popcorn, add oil and kernels to the kettle, then press the
"ON/OFF" switch back to "ON." Repeat steps 3 & 5 as necessary.
7. If not popping more corn, unplug the cabinet from the wall outlet and let cool
completely. DO NOT attempt to unplug the kettle cord while the appliance is hot.
A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the
release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and
cooling – this is normal.
Always use fresh popcorn. Dried out, stale, or old popcorn pops poorly as it has
lost its moisture content and may scorch.
Store popcorn in airtight containers made of glass or plastic to avoid moisture loss
in the kernels. Be sure that the container is stored in a cool place, do not store in
the refrigerator. Most refrigerators contain little moisture and can dry out kernels,
resulting in poor popping.
Average Yield of Popped Corn

4 Oz.
If popcorn does not pop, it is usually the result of environmental factors such as
the freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances by popcorn type.
Unpopped kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance.
Over time, salt and oil can abrade and make the cabinet walls look unattractive. It
is important to thoroughly clean and dry the cabinet after every use.
If your popper is not heating, check that the cord from the kettle is plugged into the
outlet at the top of the cabinet.
Burning at the bottom of your kettle is due to oil build-up. In addition to cleaning
after every use, we also recommend cleaning periodically with a non-abrasive
cleanser and scrubber.
This popcorn popper can accommodate both regular and premium popcorns.
Premium and gourmet popcorns do not yield results as good as regular popcorn. If
premium or gourmet popcorn is used, you may notice an increase in the number
of unpopped kernels.
Instead of popping with vegetable oil, try one of these healthy choices, extra virgin olive
oil, canola oil, coconut oil, corn oil, peanut oil, or sunflower oil. Specialty oils may also
be used, but some experimentation may be necessary to find the best popping results
and flavor you prefer. Do not use more than 1½ tablespoons of any oil.
