HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
• This popcorn popper will pop a variety of popcorn kernels. The yield and popping
time may depend upon what variety of corn is used. It is normal for popped corn
and possibly unpopped kernels to remain in the popping reservoir after operation.
This is caused by the differences in corn types, freshness or moisture content.
• Fresh popcorn kernels are best. Store sealed in a pantry or location free of
moisture. Kernels that are refrigerated or frozen will be dried out and should not
be used.
• In general, yellow corn pops larger than white corn.
•
Some lighter weight kernels are not recommended for use in this popper. Always
read the instructions from the corn manufacturer.
• NEVER use microwave popcorn kernels in this popper.
• For different tastes, try adding different seasonings, salts, spices, oils or even
fresh grated Parmesan to popped corn. NEVER add these seasonings to the
kernels before popping or to the popping reservoir.
• NEVER pack kernels in the popping reservoirs or ll past the MAX line.
• A ceramic or heat-resistant plastic bowl is the best choice to catch the popped
corn. Because hot air is directed out of the popper chute, a metal bowl may be
hot.
•
The upper cover is made of a high temperature plastic. A change in temperature
could effect the shape of the cover. To maintain the ideal shape and structure
of the upper cover, always replace it into the groove on top of the popper after
popping and when storing.
