3. Initial Setup

Before using your popcorn machine for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and ensure all components are present.
2. Clean: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Clean the non-stick popping kettle and measuring cup with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Placement: Place the popcorn machine on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from walls or other appliances to allow for proper ventilation.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is easily accessible and not obstructed.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare fresh popcorn:

1. Prepare the Kettle: Ensure the popping kettle is clean and properly attached inside the machine.
2. Add Oil: Add a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., coconut oil, vegetable oil) to the non-stick popping kettle. Refer to the measuring cup for recommended quantities, typically 1-2 tablespoons for a 50g batch.
3. Add Kernels: Use the provided measuring cup to add popcorn kernels to the kettle. Do not overfill; typically, one full measuring cup (approx. 50g) is suitable per batch.
4. Add Seasoning (Optional): For sweet popcorn, you can add a small amount of sugar with the kernels and oil. For savory, add salt after popping.
5. Close Door: Ensure the front door of the machine is securely closed.
6. Power On: Plug the machine into a suitable power outlet and turn on the power switch. The kettle will begin to heat and the stirring rod will rotate.
7. Popping Process: Popcorn will begin to pop within a few minutes. The integrated stirring system will ensure even popping.
8. Serving: Once popping slows down significantly (usually after 2-3 minutes), turn off the power switch and unplug the machine. Carefully open the front door and tilt the kettle to release the popcorn into a bowl placed underneath.
9. Repeat (if desired): If making multiple batches, allow the machine to cool for 10-15 minutes between batches to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.
