Instructions

1. Pour the vegetable oil onto the heating plate with the measured popcorn kernels.
2. Place the bowl on the popping plate and switch the slide selector to Pop.
3. Once the unit has been turned on, put the butter into a small saucepan over medium heat to melt. Once melted, remove from heat.
4. When the last kernel has popped, move the slide selector from Pop to Mix. Drizzle the melted butter and sprinkle the salt through the flavor dispenser. Allow to mix for about 30 to 45 seconds so flavors completely coat the popcorn.
5. Place cover on popper and invert. Serve immediately.
