POWER CORD INSTRUCTION

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
   • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   • If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord.
   • The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

PARTS

1. Housing
2. Kettle, Lid, and Stirrer
3. Door (removable)
4. Tray (removable)
5. Light (not shown)
6. Measuring Spoon and Cup

Assembling Procedure

1. Place the door on the hinges.
2. Hook the kettle onto the hanger of the main unit.
3. Insert tray.
4. Finally, insert the internal kettle plug into the socket on the inner top of the popcorn housing.

POPPING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Follow the assembly procedure.
2. Make sure the popcorn maker is unplugged before you do any of the following.
3. Before using the unit, please check carefully to be sure the voltage (120V – 60 Hz ) is suitable for your home.
4. Clean the internal surface of the kettle with warm sudsy water, rinse well, and dry with a clean cloth. Wipe down the inner and outer housing with a damp cloth.
5. The main unit has a 2-function switch as follows:
   • POP to turn the heater, stirrer, and light on
   • OFF to turn the power off
6. Insert the internal plug into the socket (see figure 4, previous page).
7. Plug the power cord into an electric outlet.
8. Before pouring oil or popcorn, lift the lid using the lid tab. Turn the switch to the POP position. The stirrer will begin to rotate in the kettle. Let the stainless steel kettle preheat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add oil (1 tablespoon of vegetable, corn, peanut, or safflower oil). Immediately add 1/3 cup of corn kernels (Note: 1/3 measuring cup included) and close the lid to the kettle.
   Caution: Lid might be hot – it is recommended to use an oven mitt.
9. Popcorn starts popping out through the lid after about 2 minutes. Yields up to 8 cups per batch in less than 3 minutes.
10. When the unit is finished popping, you will no longer hear the corn popping. Immediately turn the switch to the Off position and rotate the knob of the kettle down to release any remaining popcorn in the popper. This will also stop the remaining popcorn from cooking any further and avoid possible burning.
11. Keep the POP switch off if the unit is not continuously in use.
12. Remove the plug from the power supply if the unit is not being used.
13. Repeat steps 8 to 10 for continuous popping.

Cleaning and Maintenance

It is strongly recommended to clean the kettle frequently to avoid burning excess oil onto the bottom of the inner pot. After using the popcorn machine, let it cool, and use a wet cloth to clean the main unit, main body, and door. It is strongly recommended to wash and dry the tray after each use to avoid any bacterial buildup. The light bulb is replaceable with a 120-volt/10-watt bulb.

Quick Cleaning Procedure

Turn the POP control to Off. Pour 4 to 6 ounces of water (NO detergent is necessary) into the inner pot. Switch to POP to boil the water and let the stirrer turn in order to remove excess oil stuck on the surface. After cooling, pour out the water into a deep bowl and discard it after about 1 to 2 minutes of boiling.

CAUTION: THE KETTLE IS HOT.

Or, remove the kettle and clean it with a Scotch-Brite® scouring pad. Do not immerse the kettle or electrical plug in water.
