Frequently Asked Questions - Pedestal Base Benchmark USA
How do I use the Pedestal Base popcorn machine?
First, plug in the machine and preheat the kettle for 5 minutes. Add oil (approx. 1/2 cup) and popcorn kernels (1/2 cup). Close the lid and turn the switch on. The stirring rod will rotate. Once popping slows, turn off and carefully pour out popcorn. Always use the safety lid during operation.
What type of oil should I use?
Use a high-smoke-point oil such as coconut oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil. Butter or margarine are not recommended as they burn quickly.
How do I clean the kettle?
Unplug the machine and let the kettle cool completely. Remove the kettle by lifting it off the base. Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Do not immerse the base in water; wipe with a damp cloth.
Why is my popcorn burning?
The temperature may be too high. Adjust the thermostat to a lower setting. Also ensure you are using enough oil and that the kettle is not overloaded with kernels.
How often should I replace the stirring rod?
The stirring rod is durable and typically lasts for years. If it becomes damaged or stops rotating, contact Benchmark USA for a replacement part.
Can I use the machine without the lid?
No, the lid must always be in place during operation to prevent hot oil and kernels from splattering. It also keeps the popping process contained.
What is the warranty period?
The Pedestal Base comes with a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Proof of purchase is required.
Where can I find replacement parts?
Replacement parts such as kettles, lids, and stirring rods can be ordered through the Benchmark USA website or authorized dealers.
How much popcorn can I make at once?
The 8 oz kettle can pop up to 3 gallons of popped popcorn per batch. Do not fill the kettle more than 1/2 full with unpopped kernels.
Is the machine safe to leave unattended?
No, never leave the machine unattended while in use. It has an automatic shut-off if overheating, but you should always monitor the popping process.
