8. Add salt or seasoning to popcorn, as desired.
NOTICE: If using spray butter, transfer the popcorn to another bowl before applying the spray butter. Spray butter may damage the
cover/serving bowl.
Hint: Before adding salt or seasoning, lightly spray popcorn with no-stick cooking spray to add avor. Salt and seasoning will
also adhere better.
IMPORTANT: If popping consecutive batches, allow the popper to cool 1 minute between batches. Failure to do so may cause the
popper to shut off temporarily. If that happens, unplug the popper, snap the lid on, and ip the unit over. Lift the base off the serving
bowl and empty any popped or unpopped corn. Allow the unit to cool for 5 minutes and begin again with step 2.
How to Clean
1. Allow the popper to cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the cover/serving bowl and lid in warm, soapy water; rinse, and dry thoroughly. Do not wash in the dishwasher or scour
surfaces with steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
3. Wipe the popper base, including the popping chamber, with a soft, dry cloth to clean. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
Occasionally clean the bottom of the rubber feet with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Never immerse the popper
base in water or other liquid.
4. Wrap the cord around the bottom of the base (Fig. A, page 2) and place the base inside the cover/serving bowl for compact storage
(Fig. B).
Helpful Hints
• This popper is designed to pop regular and premium brands of popcorn. Try different brands to nd the one you like best.
Yellow popcorn generally pops into larger kernels than white.
• Some varieties of small and lighter weight kernel popcorn are not recommended for use with hot air poppers. Refer to any
additional instructions by popcorn manufacturer.
• Always use fresh popcorn for the best popping performance. Store popcorn in a tightly sealed container. Do not store popcorn in
a refrigerator or freezer as this can dry out the kernels quickly.
• If your popcorn does not pop well, it may be too dry. Try adding a little bit of water to the popping corn. Add 1 tablespoon per
quart of popcorn. Then place the corn in an airtight container and shake at frequent intervals until the popcorn has absorbed the
water. Wait for 3 or 4 days and then try popping the corn.
