How To Clean
1. Allow unit to cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the cover and butter melter in warm soapy water.
Do not wash in dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe
the corn popper base, including the popping chamber, clean
and dry with a soft dry cloth. Never immerse the corn popper
base in water or other liquid. Do not scour surfaces with
steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
Place cover on unit when storing between uses.
Helpful Hints
1. This popper is designed to pop regular and premium brands
of popcorn. Try different brands to find the one you like best.
Yellow popcorn generally pops larger than white.
2. Some varieties of small and lighter weight kernel popcorn
are not recommended for use with this hot air popper. Refer
to any additional instructions by popcorn manufacturer.
3. Always use fresh popcorn for the best popping performance.
Store popcorn in a tightly sealed container in your pantry. Do
not store popcorn in a refrigerator or freezer as this can dry
out the kernels quickly.
4. 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.
5. Never fill the popping chamber past the fill line (Fig. B, page
4). Overloading the chamber will cause overheating, smoking,
scorched corn, and may cause the unit to shut off. Should this
happen, unplug the popper from the wall outlet, remove cover,
and empty any popped or unpopped corn from the popping
chamber. Allow the popper to cool for about 15 minutes before
using again.
6. The butter melter capacity is equal to ½ cup.
Using less than
one level butter melter full of popcorn (½ cup) may increase
the number of unpopped kernels.
7. Tipping the popper toward the bowl slightly when popping
stops will help clear popped corn from the chamber.
