Before first use, ensure all parts are clean by wiping with a damp cloth. Assemble the unit according to the user manual, ensuring the stirring rod is properly attached and the cover is securely placed.
Use 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels and 1-3 tablespoons of oil. Adjust the oil based on your taste preference or dietary needs.
Check if the unit is properly plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position. If it still doesn't work, inspect the cord for damage.
Regularly clean the popping plate and cover with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Check the stirring rod for any food residue and clean it as necessary.
Do not overfill the unit with kernels. Use the recommended amount of oil, and monitor the popping process to turn off the unit once the popping slows significantly.
It is not recommended to add butter or seasoning directly during popping as it can cause buildup. Instead, add them immediately after popping for best results.
While possible, popping without oil may result in uneven popping and potentially more unpopped kernels. Using a small amount of oil helps improve popping performance.
Allow the unit to cool completely, then wipe the popping plate and exterior with a damp cloth. The cover can be washed in warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly before storage.
Ensure the rod is properly installed and not blocked by debris. Check for any obstructions and clear them. If the problem persists, inspect the motor or contact customer support.
Store the unit in a cool, dry place. Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Avoid wrapping the cord tightly around the unit to prevent damage.
