BEFORE FIRST USE Remove all packaging and any promotional labels or stickers from your popcorn maker. Be sure that all parts (listed in Parts and Features) of your new popcorn maker have been included before discarding any packaging materials. You may want to keep the box and packing materials for use at a later date. Before using your Cuisinart® Classic-Style Popcorn Maker for the first time, wipe housing, kettle and accessories with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping. POPPING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Be sure that the popcorn maker has been assembled properly before plugging in and popping. 2. Plug the main power cord into an electrical outlet. 3. Add 2 tablespoons of oil (vegetable, canola, corn, peanut or safflower oil) and ½ cup of corn kernels to the kettle; lower the lid. Note: Use 2 scoops of the oil measuring spoon provided and 2 scoops of the kernel measuring cup provided. 4. Turn the power switch to the ON position. Note: You do not need to allow the kettle to heat up beforehand. 5. After approximately 3 minutes, popcorn will start to pop up and out of the lid. 6. When the unit is finished popping - you will no longer hear the corn popping - immediately turn the power switch to the OFF position and press down on the kettle release tab located on the right of the housing to release the kettle. This will allow the excess popcorn to fall from the kettle. 7. Before scooping popcorn, return the kettle to the upright position by using the kettle handle. CAUTION: KETTLE IS HOT. 8. Use the popcorn scoop to remove the popcorn from the unit. 9. After the popcorn has been removed from the unit, remove the screen of the kernel catcher at the bottom of the unit. Remove the tray and discard the unpopped kernels. 10. Remove plug from the power supply if the unit will not be used for additional batches. 11. Repeat steps 3 through 9 for additional batches. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE After using the popcorn maker, let it cool completely. Use a wet cloth to clean the housing and doors. It is strongly recommended to clean the kettle frequently to avoid burning excess oil onto the bottom of the inner pot. 1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position. 2. Pour 4 to 6 ounces of water (NO detergent is necessary) into the kettle. 3. Turn the power switch to the ON position to boil the water, allowing the stirrer to remove excess oil stuck on the surface. 4. After about 1 to 2 minutes of boiling, allow to cool, then pour water into a deep bowl and discard. CAUTION: THE KETTLE IS HOT. You may also remove the kettle and clean it with a nonabrasive scouring pad. Do not immerse kettle or electrical plug in water. Any other servicing should be performed by an Authorized Service Representative. LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY (U.S. and Canada only) This warranty is available to consumers only.
