HOW TO OPERATE
Before first use, clean the inside of the unit by wiping with a moist, non-abrasive
sponge, towel or cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Wipe down the
inside of the Kettle and be sure it is properly placed in the brackets before starting.
1.
First, find a flat surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord
is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2.
Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, seasonings, bowls or bags for
holding the popcorn, cooking oil, Kernel Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon.
(Kernel Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon are included with your unit.)
3.
Make sure Kettle is properly secured in support brackets.
4.
Make sure Kettle motor is fully plugged into the outlet located on the bottom
side of the kettle. NOTE: Kettle will not heat if plug is not fully inserted.
5.
Plug in the appliance while switch is flipped to OFF position.
6.
Turn appliance ON by flipping the switch on the top of the machine.
Allow the appliance to run 3-5 minutes to heat up Kettle.
7.
Once Kettle has heated, turn unit OFF before adding ingredients.
8.
Using the Oil Measuring Spoon, add 1 scoop of oil to the kettle.
For best results, light vegetable oil is recommended.
9.
Then add 1 Kernel Measuring Cup of popcorn kernels to the kettle.
NOTE: Always follow this rule: 1 Tbsp. oil + 2 oz. popcorn kernels = 8 cups popcorn.
10. Add ¼ cup (2 oz.) popcorn kernels to the Kettle using supplied Kernel Measuring Cup.
11. Close the door and turn unit ON. In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin. Fresh,
hot popcorn will begin to burst out of the flip lids on the Kettle - just like at the theater!
12. Once the kernels have stopped popping, tip the Kettle using the red knob
on the Crank Handle to release the popcorn into the Pull Out Tray.
13. Turn unit OFF and unplug from electrical outlet. Allow unit to
cool completely, then follow the instructions in the Cleaning &
Maintenance section to clean your KETTLE POPCORN MAKER.
