Frequently Asked Questions - PC10651 WestBend

How to assemble the lid on the kettle?

Hold the lid by the main handle, insert the lid rod into the kettle hole, then align the clamp under the handle between the two depressions on the rim and push down until it locks. Secure the locking clamp by pressing on the wooden handle.

What type of oil to use?

Use vegetable oil (1 to 3 tablespoons). Do not replace with butter, margarine or lard as they burn or produce too much smoke.

How long does it take to pop the corn?

The popping cycle takes about 3 minutes. When you no longer hear intense popping and the handle becomes harder to turn, remove from heat.

How to clean the appliance after use?

Wash all parts in warm soapy water, rinse and dry completely. Do not wash in dishwasher to prolong life.

What to do if the corn does not pop?

Use fresh popcorn kernels. Dry or old kernels do not pop well. Also check that the stovetop temperature is high enough.

Can I use butter instead of oil?

No, butter, margarine or lard burn or produce too much smoke. Use exclusively vegetable oil.

For an electric stove: medium-high heat. For a gas stove: medium heat. For a two-burner stove: medium/low. Adjust according to popcorn formation.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

• Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use instructions in this manual.
• Do not place an empty popper on a heated stove top. The pan may melt or pit if heat cannot be transferred to oil and popcorn.
• Do not leave popper unattended while popping. Popcorn should be stirred continually throughout the popping process.
• Hot oil can burn or catch fire if left too long on a heated stove top. Always attend heating oil and do not heat it without adding other ingredients.
• Do not allow bare skin near a pan that contains hot oil. Hot oil may occasionally pop out of the pan while heating.
• Never use water or liquid to extinguish an oil fire. For best results, use an approved fire extinguisher.
• Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children.
• Do not use for other than its intended use.
• For household use only.

ASSEMBLING YOUR STOVE-TOP POPPER

Before using your stove-top popper and after each use, wash all parts in warm,

soapy water, rinse

thoroughly and dry. To prolong the life of your stove-top popper, do not wash parts in the dishwasher.

1. Hold the lid by the main handle and place the lid peg in the hole of the popper pan.
2. Line up the clamp under the main handle between the two dimples on the pan rim.
3. Press down on the main handle until the lid locks in place.
4. Attach the lid clamp to the pan by pressing down on the wood lid knob.

USING YOUR STOVE-TOP POPPER

Heat The Stove:

• For an electric range, set the burner to medium high.
• For a gas range, set the burner to medium.
• For flat-top ranges, set the burner to medium low.

Note: Because stove top heat output varies, adjust the temperature as needed so popping is completed about three minutes after the popcorn is added to the pan. Flat-top ranges cook hotter than standard ranges, pay close attention to the popping. Like most pans, the Stove-Top popper will rock when used on a flat-top range.

Popping Popcorn:

Tip: Use fresh popcorn. Old popcorn loses its moisture and won't pop well.

1. Place 1-3 tablespoons of oil and 12 cup popcorn in the popper and place on the stove top. Note: Don't use butter, margarine, shortening or lard in place of oil, as these will burn or smoke excessively.
2. Slowly and continuously, turn the handle clockwise.
3. The popping cycle will be complete in approximately three minutes. When you no longer hear vigorous popping and stirring becomes difficult, remove from heat. Carefully empty the popcorn into a serving bowl from the left side lid. Use a hot pad if you find it necessary to open the lid when emptying.
