Operating Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Pour 30ml of oil (using the small measuring cup) onto the nonstick popping plate, spreading it in a circular motion.
- Add Kernels: Use the large measuring cup to add 100g (approximately 4.6 ounces) of corn kernels to the popping plate. You may also sprinkle sugar or other seasonings evenly at this stage if desired.
- Cover and Power On: Place the transparent lid onto the popping plate. Ensure the black vent cover is removed. Plug in the machine and press the power switch button to the "ON" position. The stirring rod will begin to rotate.
- Popping Process: The machine will begin heating and popping. This typically takes about 3 minutes for 6.3 quarts (28 cups) of popcorn.
- Monitor Popping: Observe the popcorn through the transparent lid. Once the popping sounds significantly slow down or stop, immediately turn off the power switch.
- Serve: Carefully place the black vent cover back onto the transparent lid. Hold both handles of the transparent lid and the popping plate, then carefully flip the entire unit 180 degrees. The transparent lid now serves as a large serving bowl filled with popcorn.

Troubleshooting
Popcorn Not Popping or Burning
- Vent Cover: Ensure the black vent cover is removed during popping to allow steam to escape. Steam buildup can affect popping efficiency and cause burning.
- Timing: Turn off the machine immediately once popping slows down significantly to prevent kernels from burning.
- Ingredients: Use fresh popcorn kernels and the recommended amount of oil.
Lid Not Staying On (for serving)
- Ensure the black vent cover is securely placed on the transparent lid before attempting to use it as a serving bowl. If the lid is damaged, contact customer support for a replacement.
