While we recommend using regular white or yellow popcorn, this popcorn popper can also accommodate premium and gourmet popcorns. However, premium and gourmet popcorns may not yield results as good as regular popcorn; you may notice an increase in the number of unpopped kernels. If the flow of popcorn is slow, or stops, slide the function switch to "OFF," let the popper cool for a minute or two, remove the cover, and empty the popping chamber. Be sure to hold the corn storage lid closed when emptying the popper. When popping the next batch, reduce the amount of corn being popped. If popcorn does not pop, it is usually the result of environmental factors such as the freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances by popcorn type. Unpopped kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance. This popper is not intended for use with seeds, beans, or anything other than popcorn. We recommend using a deep bowl for popping popcorn. Use a bowl that is at least 5.5" deep when popping corn, and be sure that the bowl is flush to the popper to collect popped corn. If too shallow a bowl is used, hot popcorn and kernels can ricochet from the bowl and can pose a burn hazard. Do not stand, or allow children to stand, too close to the popper as it is operating. This popper pops using hot air. It does not require any oils or fats to pop the corn, and they should never be used in the popper. DO NOT use microwave popcorn. To use the cord storage, push the cord into the storage opening located at the bottom of the appliance for easy, tangle-free storage. CLEANING YOUR AIR CRAZY™ ON DEMAND POPCORN POPPER Your popper must be cleaned after every use. Note: Do not immerse the popper base in water or any other liquid. Do not use any abrasive cleansers or scrubbers on any part of the popper. 1. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. Allow the entire appliance to cool before washing any parts. 2. Remove the cover from the popper base. Wash the popper cover in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The cover may be washed in a dishwasher, top rack only. 3. If there is popcorn in the popping chute, hold the storage chamber cover down, then invert the popper to remove any unpopped kernels or chaff. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the popper and the popcorn chute. DO NOT wipe inside the popping chamber. Check during every cleaning that no pieces of popcorn are stuck in the bottom screen; ensure that the screen is clear before each use. If it is not, repeat step 3. This appliance has no user serviceable parts. English - 5
