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
Popcorn Maker for the first time, wipe housing,
kettle, and accessories with a damp cloth to
remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping.

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

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.

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

batches.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE

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 oil stuck on the surface.
4.
After 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
