Use and Care Manual

OPERATING PROCEDURES
Please Note: If you are using your popper for the first time, clean the interior of the glass surfaces
and wipe the inside of your popper with a clean damp sponge before heat is applied. Please follow
these procedures for the best operating results and long machine life.
1. Place the popcorn popper on a dry, level surface. Protect from rain and other weather elements.
Do not install near pool or water. Plug the unit into a suitable grounded electrical outlet. (Please
check the electrical specifications! This is a commercial quality popper requiring 120V. Be
sure that your power source matches the rating label specified next to the power cord.)
2. The Main unit has 3 function switches: Warmer, Stirrer & Kettle Heater.

3. Check to see that the kettle power cord is securely attached and that the stirrer arm is securely
seated in its housing inside at the top of the cabinet.
4. Turn the Warmer switch (Ill) to ON. Turn the Kettle Heater switch (II) to ON and add a suitable
amount of oil (Fig. 1). While the amount is dependent upon your taste, please do not exceed 3/4
cup (12T.) for a full 16oz. batch of popcorn. A good rule of thumb for popcorn to oil ratio is 3:1.
See next page for measurement equivalents.

5. Preheat kettle for 3 to 4 minutes with the oil added (until steam comes out from the pot). If using
a Superior Popcorn Company Tri-Pack, cut off top of oil section on pouch and squeeze oil into
pot. NEVER heat kettle without oil or attempt to make popcorn without oil.
Please Note: DO NOT USE LIQUID SUGAR OR HONEY AS THIS MAY DAMAGE KETTLE
AND CAUSE SMOKING AND/OR INJURY FROM HOT SUGAR. KEEP WATER AWAY FROM
KETTLE, OIL AND MACHINE. AVOID SPILLING OIL ON OR AROUND THE MACHINE AS
THIS MAY CAUSE A POTENTIAL FIRE.
