1. Connect Plug to the nearest 120 V AC electrical outlet and Turn the Power Switch to the "I" position to begin the popping cycle.

Attention: First use may cause a slight odor or small smoking upon heating, it is normal. This is a result of the heating element chemical reaction. It quickly goes away.

1. Popping times vary from 2-3 minutes from when the first kernel has popped.

Note: Keep hands away from the Popping Chute as HOT un-popped kernels can occasionally be thrown out of the Inner Popping base and miss the bowl. Use a napkin or allow these kernels to cool before picking them up.

1. Once the batch of popcorn has finished turn the Power Switch back to the "O" position to turn it off and unplug the unit from the electric outlet.
