- Plug in your unit in the OFF position.
- Make sure the top unit is properly seated in the base unit.
- By using the 1-tablespoon oil-measuring spoon supplied with your OLD FASHIONED MOVIE
TIME POPCORN CART™, add your favorite popcorn cooking oil to the kettle. - Then by using the 1/2 cup popcorn measuring cup supplied, add popcorn to the kettle.
- Turn the unit ON, and close the door. In no time at all, you can hear the popping begin. Then fresh hot popcorn will begin to burst out of the flip lids on the kettle, just like at the theater!
When the popping sound obviously slows down or stops, turn the unit OFF. Flip the kettle over (see page 4) to empty the kettle. Repeat steps 6 thru 8 until the desired amount of popcorn has been popped.
Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning. Unplug the outer plug to the outlet as well as the kettle motor plug inside the unit. (See photo item C, item 4 on page 3 for the location of the motor plug).
- See instructions on page 5 for kettle cleaning.
- Use a slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge or non-abrasive towel to wipe clean the inside and outside of the unit, then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel to dry.
NOTE: Never immerse the kettle unit in any liquid – simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. Never place any parts in the dishwasher – always wash by hand.
CLEANING
- Switch “OFF” the unit.
- Pull up the cover and by turning the handle of the bow anti-clockwise, discard any unpopped popcorn kernels and oil remaining in the kettle.
- Wipe out the kettle with a disposable clean cloth. The kettle should be clean but “Seasoned” and ready for the next use.

Make sure the machine is unplugged and completely cooled. Disconnect both the outer power plug and the kettle motor plug inside. Wipe the inside and outside of the unit with a slightly damp, non-abrasive cloth, then dry with a soft towel.
