OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the base of the appliance on a

water or any other liquid drip into the

base or on the heat shield.

2. Popping plate must lock

securely to base before

unit will operate. Grip the

locking levers up toward

the handles of popping

plate, which will open

the lock. Place the plate

on the base (handles of

Fig. 1

popping plate should be centred just

above the side handles on base, see Fig.1).

Once locking levers are released, the

popping plate should be locked to the base.

NOTE: The unit will not operate if popping plate is not positioned correctly. Rotate plate very slightly back and forth until you feel the plate fall into place.

3. Add approximately 2 teaspoons of

cooking oil to popping plate (see Tips

and Hints, next page, for recommended

measurements). We recommend using

vegetable or canola oil, but any type is

suitable except olive oil.

4. Add kernels to popping plate. We recommend

3

cup of kernels, especially

if using premium popcorn.

The

measuring cup provided is ½-cup

capacity, and also clearly marked for

1 ⁄

3

cup. See Tips and Hints, next page.

5. Place the inverted bowl

on top of the popping plate.

6. Plug the power cord into

a standard electrical outlet.

7. Turn the power switch to

ON.

Fig. 2

8. The stirring rod will rotate

and cooking will begin.

fi nished popping, turn the unit off. Place cap on bowl (before seasoning).

Grasp the locking lever against handles of

Fig. 3

popping plate, along with

bowl handles together.

Gently lift plate and bowl

from the base (see fi g.2).

Turn over and place the

bottom of bowl on a fl at

surface (see fi g.3).

Fig. 4

10. To avoid any burning

of popcorn, fl ip the bowl

as soon as popping is complete.

11. Lift the popping plate off the bowl by its

handles, and immediately return the plate

to the base to cool (see fi g.4).

CAUTION: After popping, the plate is

EXTREMELY HOT. Do not put fi ngers near the plate. After turning the bowl over to serve, simply return popping plate directly to the base.

A slight odour or smoke may be evident as materials used in manufacturing are burned off internal parts. This is normal.

12. Rotation shaft continues turning until unit

is switched OFF manually.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Clean your popcorn maker after every use.

Never immerse the base of the unit in water

or let water drip inside. Do not use benzene, scrubbing brushes or chemical cleaners, as these will damage the unit. Use only a damp cloth to clean exterior of the base.

Serving bowl – The serving bowl is fully immersible and dishwasher-safe. Do not clean plastic serving bowl with the scourer side of a sponge.

Popping plate – Popping plate is fully immersible and dishwasher-safe. Do not use metal utensils as these will damage the surface. The popping plate and stirring rod stay assembled for cleaning.

Do not put the popping plate in the dishwasher until it’s cool.

Note: Premium popcorns have larger kernels, resulting in a higher yield of popcorn.

If using premium popcorn, the yield of popped popcorn will be about 1 cup greater than stated above.

Note: DO NOT use more than 1 ⁄

3

cup of unpopped kernels when using premium popcorn.

The seasoning possibilities for popcorn are endless. Just add melted butter and your favourite seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.

With toppings added, popped popcorn will become much crisper and the fl avours become more intense if it is heated with desired toppings in a 150°C oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving. For best results, heat it on a baking sheet that you have lined with foil and sprayed with cooking oil.

Butter/Seasoning ratios for popcorn

2 tablespoons melted butter for ¼ cup unpopped kernels, and a minimum of 1 teaspoon of seasoning

3 tablespoons melted butter for 1 ⁄

3

cup unpopped kernels, and a minimum of 2 teaspoons of seasoning

4 tablespoons melted butter for ½ cup unpopped kernels, and a minimum of 2½ teaspoons to a tablespoon of seasoning

The amount of seasoning depends on the intensity of the ingredients you are using – it is important to let your taste be your guide.

Note: Serving bowl should not be put into oven.

It is very important to use fresh popcorn.

If your popcorn is old, the kernels will not fully pop and/or it may take a long time for them to pop.
