HELPFUL TIPS
POPCORN
The MINI HOT AIR POPCORN MAKER is designed for all regular and
premium brands of popping corn. Yellow corn generally pops better than
white corn. Organic corn is not recommended for this machine.
When lling the Kernel Cap, make sure to not ll above or below the
marked line. Under-lling can cause less kernels to pop and more
unpopped kernels to come out of the unit. Overlling can cause popped
corn to burn and smoke, as it will over ll the Popping Chamber.
SEASONING
NEVER put any seasonings or oil in the Popping Chamber. Always season
popcorn after it has been removed from the MINI HOT AIR POPCORN MAKER.
Use the Butter Spray Bottle and Seasoning Shaker to avor your popcorn.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure appliance is unplugged before cleaning.
2. Allow unit to cool for at least 15 minutes.
3. Remove the Top Housing and Kernel Cap from Base.
4. Use slightly damp, non-abrasive sponge or cloth to wipe down the inside and outside of
Base, including inside of Popping Chamber, then wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.
5. Wash Top Housing and Kernel Cap with hot, soapy water using a non-
abrasive sponge or cloth and wipe dry with a non-abrasive towel.
6. Reassemble unit and store.
NOTE: Never place any parts in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.
