- Frequently empty the catch tray of unpopped popcorn kernels and clean it with soap and water. Dry it thoroughly afterward.
- Frequent cleaning of the popcorn kettle is strongly recommended. This will help prevent burning of excess oils on the bottom of the kettle.
- Let the unit cool down before cleaning.
- Clean the kettle surface inside and out with wet cloth. To thoroughly clean the popcorn kettle, turn off the unit and add 1-1/2 to 2 cups of hot water into the kettle (no detergent is necessary). Then place a towel at the bottom of the main unit and place a large bowl or container on the towel (the container must be large enough to easily pour water from the popcorn kettle)). Turn on the Stirrer & Heater (2) and boil the water for 1 to 2 minutes. After that, turn off the stirrer and heater and carefully pour the water from the popcorn kettle to the bowl or container.
