turner are firmly in place, respectively not loosened, and that they have not fallen into the prepared
popcorn.

Using the appliance for the first time
Ingredients and quantities:
Popping corn Vegetable oil
50 g 1 tablespoon
Note: Do not place butter, margarine or similar on the non-stick hotplate, but only through the
ventilation opening.
12
Butter/margarine
5-10 g
Put the corresponding quantity of vegetable oil and popping corn into the
WMF KITCHENminis popcorn maker. Spread the popping corn evenly over the
non-stick hotplate.
Caution! Only add vegetable oil, not butter, margarine or similar on the
hotplate, as these ingredients would burn.
Note: To make cleaning the appliance easier, we recommend only adding the
sugar or salt once the popcorn is ready.
Close the lid and make sure that its handles are securely connected to the
handles of the base unit. Remove the cover plate while the appliance is in
operation so that any excess moisture can escape.
Note: To make buttery popcorn, spread the recommended quantity of chilled
butter lightly into the holes in the ventilation opening.
Plug the appliance into the mains power socket and switch the appliance on.
The popcorn turner starts to rotate.
Warning: The heating and the popcorn turner remain switched on until
the appliance is unplugged or is switched off.
When after 5 minutes or so you can no longer hear the sound of bursting
popping corn, switch the appliance off and unplug it from the mains power
socket. Clean any residues from the ventilation opening. Any butter residue
can be brushed through the holes beforehand, using a basting brush.
Caution! Screw the cover plate firmly onto the lid.
Note: The total number of popped corn grains depends on the age and
moisture of the corn and can therefore vary.
Hold the handles of the lid and the base unit firmly together before turning
the appliance over.
Caution! Before turning the appliance over, switch it off and pull out the
mains plug from the mains power socket. Do not turn the appliance over
before you have done this.
Hold both handles firmly and turn the appliance over, away from your body.
Warning: Risk of burning! Lift the base unit off of the lid using the handles
and do not touch the hotplate. Beware of any escaping steam.
The popcorn is now ready to serve and can be refined with sugar, salt or
other flavourings.
Note: If you want to make some more, put the prepared popcorn into
another bowl and start again from step 1. However, you must first let the
appliance cool down for at least 5 minutes.
