Using Your Hot Air Popcorn Popper  
NEVER IMMERSE THE POPPER BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.  
ONLY MELT BUTTER WHILE POPPING KERNELS!  
1. Before using for the first time, wash popper cover and measuring cup in  
warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.  
2. Remove popper cover and measuring cup from popper base. Fill the  
measuring cup to the Max line with kernels and add to popping  
chamber. Do not fill measuring cup past the Max line - Kernels should  
be level in measuring cup. Measuring cup = 1/2 cup. Never add more  
1
than ⁄2 cup of popcorn kernels to the popping chamber at one time. Do  
not put any other ingredients such as oil, shortening, butter, margarine,  
salt and sugar into popping chamber as damage  
will occur.  
3. Place popper cover onto base, positioning bottom edge of cover into  
groove of base. The measuring cup may be used to melt butter while the  
unit pops the kernels. If not melting butter, place measuring cup onto  
popper cover as shown in Figure 1. If melting butter, turn measuring  
cup over and place inverted onto the popper cover. Never add more  
than 1/4 cup of butter to the measuring cup. Make sure butter is at  
room temperature. Cut butter into 8 slices before placing in measuring  
cup. Note: When using the measuring cup to measure kernels, always  
wash and dry the measuring cup after each batch of popcorn when  
melting butter.  
4. Place a heat-proof popcorn serving bowl under the front of the popper  
cover. 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.  
5. Plug unit into a 120V~60 Hz outlet and press the On/Off Switch  
to On (-–).  
6. Press the On/Off Switch to Off (O) and unplug when popping is  
complete. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT EMPTY. DO NOT  
ATTEMPT TO MELT BUTTER WITHOUT POPCORN IN CHAMBER.  
Due to variances in the popcorn type, freshness and moisture content,  
some popped or unpopped kernels may remain in the chamber after the  
popping has stopped. To prevent scorching, unplug the 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 UNIT. TO AVOID TEMPORARY  
MALFORMATION OF THE COVER, ALLOW IT TO COOL ON  
THE UNIT BASE AFTER POPPING.  
7. For additional batches, unplug unit. Make sure the popping  
chamber is empty. Carefully remove excess popcorn or left over  
unpopped kernels. Then repeat steps 2 through 6. Note: When  
popping more than one or two batches of corn, allow the popper to cool  
down for at least 10 minutes.  
Helpful Hints  
N This popcorn popper is designed to pop regular and premium  
brands of popcorn. Try different brands to find the one you like  
best. Yellow kernels generally pop larger than white. One half cup  
unpopped kernels will yield approximately 3.5 quarts of popcorn.  
N Always use fresh popcorn. Stale or dried-out popcorn pops poorly  
and may cause scorching or smoking.  
N Carefully select the bowl you will be using to collect popped corn.  
A metal bowl may become very hot to the touch due to the flow of  
hot air from the chute and must be handled carefully. It will,  
however, tend to keep the popcorn warm. If a plastic bowl is used,  
be certain it can withstand the heat caused by the warm air flow  
without melting.  
1
N Never use more than 2 cup of kernels per batch.  
N Never add salt, sugar or other flavorings into popping chamber.  
N This is an AIR corn popper. Popcorn will pop by circulating hot  
air. Oils, fats or shortening are not needed and should never be  
used. Do not use microwave popcorn in this appliance.
