BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your appliance for the first time, be sure to:

1.  Remove all packaging and labels or stickers from your popcorn maker. (You may want to keep the box and packing materials for use at a later date.)
2.  Make sure that the appliance is unplugged and the switches are in the “OFF” position.
3.  Wipe housing and internal chamber of main unit with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Wash the accessories (measuring cup, tablespoon & tray) in hot, soapy water. Clean the internal surface of the kettle with warm soapy water, rinse well and dry with clean cloth. (NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN ANY LIQUIDS).
4. Thoroughly dry all accessories and follow instructions for assembly.

ASSEMBLING YOUR POPCORN MAKER

Step 1:

Hook the kettle onto the hanger inside the main popcorn unit.

Step 2:

Insert the kettle as power plug into the electrical socket on the inner ceiling of the main popcorn unit.

Step 3:

Set the removable tray in the Main Popcorn unit below the kettle.

Step 4:

Place the door onto the hinges by aligning the pins on the main popcorn unit with the hinges on the door.

USING YOUR POPCORN MAKER POPPING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure the popcorn maker is unplugged before you begin.
2.  Before using the unit, please check to be sure voltage (120V ~60Hz) is suitable to your home.
3.  Main popcorn unit has 2 function switches.
4. Install popping kettle by hooking the kettle onto the kettle hooks inside the main popcorn unit (see step 1 on page 4).
5. Insert the internal kettle plug into the socket on the ceiling inside the main popcorn unit. (see step 2 on page 4)
6.  Plug the external power cord into an electric wall outlet.
7.  Before pouring oil or kernels into the kettle, lift lid using the lid tab. Add oil (1 tablespoon of vegetable, corn, peanut, or coconut oil).
8. Turn both LIGHT & POP switches to ON position. The light, heater and motor will be on. Allow the kettle to preheat oil for approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the POP switch to off position, add 1/3 cup of corn kernels close lid to the kettle. Close the plexi-door. Turn POP switch back on, stirrer will begin to rotate and heater will heat up the oil and corn.
9. Popcorn starts popping out through the lid after approximately 2 minutes.
10.  When unit is finished popping – you will no longer hear the corn popping – immediately turn the POP switch to the OFF position and pull down the handle bar of the kettle to release any remaining popcorn in the kettle. This will also stop the remaining popcorn from cooking any further and prevent burning.
11. Repeat steps 8 through 10 for continuous popping.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

•  It is strongly recommended to clean the kettle after EVERY use.
•  NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN WATER OR ANY LIQUIDS.

KETTLE QUICK CLEANING PROCEDURE

Turn the POP switch to off. Pour 4 to 6 ounces of water (NO detergent is necessary) into inner kettle popper.

After cooling, pour out the water and discard.
