Operating Instructions

1. Preheat Kettle: Close the magnetic door. Turn on the "HEAT" switch (usually red) to preheat the kettle for 3-5 minutes.
2. Add Ingredients: Once preheated, turn off the "HEAT" switch. Carefully open the kettle lid using the handle. Add the recommended amount of popcorn kernels (e.g., 4 oz) and oil (e.g., 1-2 tablespoons) to the kettle. Close the kettle lid.
3. Start Popping: Turn on both the "HEAT" and "TURN" (stirring) switches. The kettle will begin to heat and stir the kernels.
4. Monitor Popping: Popcorn will begin to pop and fall into the collection tray below. The internal light will illuminate the popcorn.
5. Serving: Once popping slows significantly (typically after 2-3 minutes), turn off both switches. Carefully open the magnetic door and use the provided popcorn scoop to serve the fresh popcorn.
6. Empty Kettle: Rotate the kettle handle to empty any remaining unpopped kernels or debris into the crumb tray.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your popcorn maker.

4. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the machine, including the glass panels and red frame, with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
