OPERATION - General

The popcorn maker is only intended for domestic use, not for professional use.

2. Lid

OPERATION - Use

ATTENTION:

• Always use popcorn maize to prepare popcorn.
• Do not add other ingredients, such as butter or oil, to the popping chamber.

• Do not leave the appliance switched on for more than necessary. If you do so the appliance may overheat and activate the overheating safeguard. Allow the popcorn maker to cool down for 15 minutes before you use the appliance again.

• Fill the measuring cup (max 50 gr) with popcorn maize, and sprinkle the popcorn maize into the popping chamber. Do not add more than one measuring scoop of popcorn maize. Do not add any other ingredients to the popping chamber.

• Fit the lid to the popping chamber, and fit the measuring scoop to the lid. If you so wish, you can put a pat of butter in the measuring scoop to melt it.
• Put a bowl under the opening in the lid.
• Put the plug into the wall socket.
• Switch on the appliance by setting the On/Off switch to 'I'. After a few minutes most maize kernels will pop and fall into the bowl.

You will now have prepared a full bowl of delicious popcorn. If you wish, you can bring your popcorn to taste using the molten butter in the measuring scoop; you can also add sugar or salt.

2. Pull the plug out of the socket.
