How do I use the Dash Fresh Pop Popcorn Maker?

Assemble the popcorn maker by placing the Top Cover onto the Body until it clicks. Add one Measuring Cup of popcorn kernels into the Aluminum Heat Chamber through the Popcorn Inlet. Optionally, place up to 2 tbsp of butter in the Measuring Cup on top. Place a large bowl under the Spout. Switch the unit on by pressing the Power Button. After about 3 minutes, the popcorn will finish popping. Turn off, unplug, and let cool before removing the melted butter from the Measuring Cup.

How much popcorn can I make at once?
