What is the recommended amount of popcorn kernels to use?

Use 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels per batch to ensure proper popping and avoid overflow.

How can I prevent kernels from burning in the popcorn maker?

Ensure you do not exceed the recommended amount of oil and popcorn. Stir the kernels occasionally if your model has a stir function, and stop the machine once popping slows to avoid burning.

What type of oil is best to use with this popcorn maker?

Vegetable, canola, or coconut oil are recommended for best results. Avoid using butter, as it can burn at high temperatures.

If the unit overheats, unplug it immediately and allow it to cool. Check for any blockages or buildup inside the heating chamber. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
