4. Plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC outlet ONLY. With the cover in place, press the
ON/OFF "
5. Popcorn will begin to pop, and the cycle will be done within 3 minutes. After
popcorn has completed popping, press the ON/OFF "
has completed when there is a gap of 3 seconds between kernels popping.
Unplug the popper from the outlet. Let the popper sit, with the lid in place, for at
least one minute after completion of the popping cycle. Unpopped kernels may
still pop unexpectedly. Use caution when handling the Clear Air popcorn popper,
it will be hot after popping cycle. Always use hot pads or oven mitts to handle the
hot appliance.
6. If you wish to pop an additional batch of popcorn, let the popper cool for several
minutes, then remove any unpopped kernels and loose popcorn from the popper
by inverting the popper. Use oven mitts or hot pads when handling the hot
popper. Repeat steps 1-5 above. After 2 batches, let popper cool 15 minutes
before additional uses.
• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the
release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and
cooling – this is normal.
• Always use fresh popcorn. Dried out, stale, or old popcorn pops poorly as it has
lost its moisture content and may scorch.
• Store popcorn in airtight containers made of glass or plastic to avoid moisture loss
in the kernels. Be sure that the container is stored in a cool place, do not store in
the refrigerator. Most refrigerators contain little moisture and can dry out kernels,
resulting in poor popping.
• 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 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.
• When done popping, start layering flavors. We find a light misting of olive oil,
(many great infused olive oils are also available) lemon or lime juice, balsamic
vinegar, or even water will help any additional seasonings adhere to the corn.
• Melted chocolate or marshmallow is a great way to bind and layer decadent
ingredients with popcorn, or to create popcorn balls, bars, or pops. For a more
traditional binder, boil 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of corn syrup, then add your other
ingredients toss and form. Or while still warm, roll balls or pops in crushed
candies, coconut, chopped nuts, sprinkles.
