Are you ready to become a popcorn maestro? Operating our Popcorn Machine is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

Step 1: 

  • Begin by opening up the glass doors
  • With your left hand, grasp the lever and raise it to the top until it securely attaches to the magnet.

Step 2:

  • Grab a scoop full of popcorn kernels and place them carefully into the awaiting bowl.
  • Reach for the oil bottle and give it a gentle squeeze, allowing 2-3 oil rounds to coat the kernels.

Step 3:

  • Seal the bowl by pulling down the left-hand lever.
  • Close the doors and activate the ‘turn’ and ‘heat’ functions.
  • As the magic unfolds, you’ll soon hear the popcorn kernels gracefully pirouetting. In just 5-7 minutes, they’ll burst into a symphony of pops.

Step 4:

  • When the pops subside, turn off the machine and the heat function.
  • After the machine settles, gently swing open the doors.
  • Magnetise the left-hand lever again, then rotate the right-hand lever to the left.
  • Release the bowl and scoop out any remaining popcorn.

Step 6:

  • Open the tray and you can now sprinkle through the provided butter salt or leave it as plain popcorn. Once it is salted, grab your popcorn bag or popcorn box and scoop the popcorn in. Switch on the warming & light function to keep your popcorn warm
