INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the STIR-POP POPCORN MAKER from Nostalgia™! This unique popper is fun and easy to use. It's a popcorn maker and serving bowl in one! Simply add kernels and flip the switch. In about five minutes, replace the lid, turn unit upside-down and you'll have a bowl full of delicious popcorn. The included measuring spoon allows you to add the perfect amount of kernels for each batch, while the stirrer inside helps prevent popcorn from burning. Add oil, butter or salt to enhance the flavor. Also works great for making kettle corn or roasting nuts.

PARTS & ASSEMBLY

Parts

Bowl Base BOWL COVER Lid Center Knob Stirring Rod Oil Measuring Spoon (1 Tbsp.) Kernel Measuring Cup (¼ cup = 2 oz.)

HOW TO OPERATE

Before first use, clean the Bowl and Lid by removing Lid from Bowl and wiping both with a moist, non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a non-abrasive dry towel.

Remove the Stirring Rod from the Base by turning Center Knob counterclockwise. Wipe the Stirring Rod and Base with a moist, non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth and then wipe with a non-abrasive dry towel. Replace the Stirring Rod and make sure the rod fits into the notched area around the screw. Secure by turning Center Knob clockwise.

1. First, find a flat surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.
2. Gather your popcorn making supplies: popcorn, seasonings, cooking oil, and measuring spoon for oil.
3. Measure 2 tablespoons of oil and add to the nonstick Base (oil may also be added through ventilation slots while corn kernels are popping).
4. Using the Measuring Cup supplied with your STIR-POP POPCORN MAKER, add up to 6 ounces (3/4 cup) of corn kernels. The Kernel Measuring Cup is 2 ounces, so you may fill the Measuring Cup 3 times and place kernels in the nonstick Base. DO NOT exceed 6 ounces total of popcorn kernels.
5. For every Measuring Cap full of kernels (2 oz.), add 1 tablespoons of oil. For best results, soft-shelled popping corn and vegetable or canola oil is recommended.
6. Always remove Lid while kernels are popping. This will allow steam to vent through the top.
7. Plug in the appliance while switch is flipped to OFF position.
8. Turn appliance ON by flipping the switch on the back of the Base. In no time at all, you will hear the popping begin.
9. Once popping stops, turn unit OFF, then unplug.
10. Secure the Lid to the top of the Bowl.
11. While wearing oven mitts, flip the Bowl and Base over, then remove the Base. If desired, add popcorn seasons to your popcorn. Use the Bowl Cover to shake and evenly coat your popcorn with seasonings.

HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.

Smoking

If your STIR-POP POPCORN MAKER begins to smoke during cooking, it may be due to grease build up. In order to reduce smoking, make sure that you clean the nonstick surface of the Base between uses.

Popcorn

For best results, use an all natural soft-shelled popping corn. Organic popping corn is not recommended for use in your STIR-POP POPCORN MAKER as it has a harder husk and will result in more unpopped kernels.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Make sure appliance is unplugged and cooled before cleaning.
2. Remove Stirring Rod from Base by unscrewing Center Knob. Wipe with a moist, non-abrasive sponge, towel or cloth and dry.
3. Wash the Bowl and Lid in warm, soapy water with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a non-abrasive towel.
4. Clean the nonstick surface of the Base with a non-abrasive, damp and soapy cloth. Wipe surface until fully clean and then dry with a dry, non-abrasive cloth. NEVER use scouring pad nor abrasive cleaners on the Base, as scratching may occur.
5. Wipe outside of Base with damp cloth and dry.

NOTE: Never place any parts in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.
