kettle with a built-in stirring system and pops up to 10 cups of popcorn per batch. It

SWITCH LOCATION

There are separate ON/OFF switches for the light and the main unit. The switches

are located on the top of the Marquee. The unit comes with a 20 Watt light bulb

(installed). Follow directions in Changing the Light bulb section to change the bulb.

CUSTOMIZING THE MARQUEE

The unit comes with a sheet of reusable vinyl letters and characters to customize the

Marquee. Simply peel and stick the letters to the Marquee. If you have trouble peeling the

letters, try using an exacto knife or letter opener. You can also print messages from the

computer and insert the paper into the Marquee slots. Use your imagination and have fun!

ENGLISH

HOW TO OPERATE

Before rst use, clean the inside of the unit by wiping with a moist, non-abrasive

sponge, towel or cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Wipe down the

inside of the Kettle and be sure it is properly placed in the brackets before starting.

1. First, nd a at surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord

is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.

2. Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, seasonings, cooking oil, Serving

Bowl, Kernel Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon. (Serving Bowl, Kernel

Measuring Cup and Oil Measuring Spoon are included with your unit.)

3. Plug the appliance into the wall outlet while switch is ipped to OFF position.

4. Make sure Kettle is properly secured in the support brackets, and kettle motor cord is fully

plugged into the outlet located on the bottom side of the kettle. The kettle cord is located

on the ceiling of the unit.

NOTE: Kettle will not heat if plug is not fully inserted.

5. Turn appliance ON by ipping the switch on the top of the machine.

Allow the appliance to run 3-5 minutes to heat up the Kettle.

6. Turn unit OFF.

7. Use the supplied Oil Measuring Spoon to add 1 scoop (1 tablespoon) of your favorite

popcorn cooking oil to the Kettle. For best results, it is suggested to use coconut oil.

8. Add ¼ cup (2 oz.) popcorn kernels to the Kettle using the supplied Kernel Measuring Cup.

NOTE: DO NOT overll or pack kernels into Kernel Measuring Cup as this will crowd the

Kettle. Doing so may result in more unpopped kernels and cause kernels to smoke or burn.

9. Turn the unit ON and close the door. In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin. Fresh,

hot popcorn will begin to burst out of the ip lids on the Kettle!

NOTE: Steam produced during the popping process is normal.

10. Once the kernels have stopped popping, turn the unit OFF and tip the Kettle using the red

knob on the Crank Handle to release the popcorn.

NOTE: Do not allow motor to continue to run after popcorn is done popping.

IMPORTANT: Extreme caution must be used when emptying popcorn. Always make

sure the unit is over a countertop so that residual hot oil running out will not cause burns.

11. After each batch of popcorn, check for and empty any

unpopped kernels from the Kernel Catcher.

ENGLISH

HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.

SMOKING

If your KETTLE POPCORN MAKER begins to smoke during cooking,

it may be due to grease build up. In order to reduce smoking, make

sure that you clean the inside of the Kettle between uses.

POPCORN

The KETTLE POPCORN MAKER is designed for all regular and premium brands

of popping corn. Yellow corn generally pops better than white corn, while

some brands of kernels have a harder outer shell and may result in fewer

popped kernels. Try dierent brands to nd which you like best.

If you notice you are experiencing a lot of unpopped kernels, try adding

more oil to the Kettle. More oil may help pop more kernels.

Always use fresh popcorn. Dried out, stale, or old popcorn pops poorly

as it has lost its moisture content and may scorch. We recommend

storing popcorn in an airtight container in a cool place.

Occasionally popcorn does not pop. This is usually the result of environmental factors

such as freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances of popcorn

type. Unpopped kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance.

When lling the Kernel Measuring Cup, make sure to not ll above the marked line.

Underlling can cause less kernels to pop and more unpopped kernels to come out of the

unit. Overlling can cause popped corn to burn and smoke, as it will overll the Kettle.

SEASONING

For more buttery popcorn or when adding seasonings, a spritz of olive oil,

water or butter will allow the seasonings to better stick to the popcorn.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT place butter, seasonings, or anything other than popcorn kernels

into the popcorn Kettle. Use of these substances may cause hazards and may damage the

unit.
