100 g.
Important! Always observe this quantity. With a
smaller quantity, less kernels will pop and some
hard kernels will be ejected from the unit. With a
larger quantity, the chamber is overfilled so that
popcorn will burn and emit smoke.
Note Only use special popcorn kernels for this
popcorn maker. Yellow kernels generally pop larger
than white ones.
Always use fresh kernels; older kernels are
dried out and may easily burn. However, to refresh
dried-out kernels, proceed as follows:
Fill the kernels into an airtight container (leave
some space in the container). For 200 ml of ker-

container in the refrigerator for three days and
shake it twice each day. Then the kernels should be
fresh and ready for use.
