USING THE SERVING BOWL
1. Place bowl cap on top of
serving bowl before adding
any seasonings
(see figure 4).
2. Grasp the locking levers
on each side of the pop-
ping plate, as well as the
handles of the serving
bowl and pinch together
(see figure 5).
Note: When pinching
together, gently squeeze
the locking levers by pull-
ing up. The popping plate
and serving bowl will lift
from the motor base (see
figure 6).
3. Turn over and place the
bottom of the serving bowl
on a flat surface (see figure
7).
Note: To avoid burning
popcorn, flip bowl as soon
as cooking process
is complete.
4. Once serving bowl is
properly positioned, lift the
popping plate away from
the serving bowl and return
to motor base.
CAUTION: POPPING PLATE HANDLES ARE
EXTREMELY HOT AFTER USE.
CAUTION: After popping, the plate is
EXTREMELY HOT. Do not put fingers near
the plate. After turning the bowl over to
serve, simply return popping plate directly
to the base. A slight odor or smoke may be
evident as materials used in manufactur-
ing are burned off internal parts. This is
normal.

Note: Premium popcorns yield less, by about 2
cups.
The seasoning possibilities for popcorn are end-
less. Just add melted butter and your favorite
seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.
With toppings added, popped popcorn will
become much crisper and the flavors become
more intense if it is heated with desired toppings
in a 300°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before
serving. For best results, heat it on a baking
sheet that you have lined with foil and sprayed
with cooking oil.
Note: Serving bowl should not be put
into oven.
It is very important to use fresh popcorn. If
your popcorn is old, the kernels will not fully
pop and/or it may take a long time for them to
pop.
