PRIOR TO FIRST USE Before using the popcorn maker for the first time, remove all packaging and clean the appliance as described in “Cleaning”. USE The popcorn maker pops the corn using hot air. Therefore you should never use microwave popcorn or ready-mixed packs of popping corn containing oil/fat in this appliance. Never place oil/fat, salt or anything else in the popper with the corn. • Place the upper section (3) on the base (6), so the opening (5) is opposite the side with the on/off button (7). • Fill the measuring cup (1) with popping corn (approx. 40 g). • Pour the corn through the filling funnel (2), so it falls down into the popper (4). 10 • Place the measuring cup in the funnel, where it acts as a lid. • Place a bowl under the opening for the popped corn to fall into. • Plug the appliance in and switch it on using the on/off button (position I). After a few minutes the first kernels will begin to pop. • Switch off using the on/off button (position 0) once all the corn has popped. • Sprinkle salt on the corn in the bowl and serve while still hot. NB! Never pour more than 1 cupful of corn into the machine at a time, as the kernels may get burnt onto internal surfaces. NB! Do not leave the popcorn maker running for more than 4 minutes at a time. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes after popping two portions of popcorn. CLEANING • Switch the popcorn maker off, allow it to cool completely and remove the plug from the socket before cleaning. • Never use scouring powder, steel scourers or other strong cleaning agents to clean the interior or exterior surfaces of the popcorn maker, as they may scratch the surfaces. • The popcorn maker must not be immersed in water or any other liquid. • Wipe the exterior with a well-wrung cloth using hot water and a little detergent, if required. • Wipe the popper using a well-wrung cloth and hot water. Wipe off thoroughly with a dry cloth. • The measuring cup and upper section can be washed in hot water and a little detergent. • Ensure all parts are completely dry before replacing them and using the popcorn maker again. • Always clean the popcorn maker before putting it away if it is not to be used for a prolonged period.
