¼ cup  
3. Replace chute

cup  
Approximately 15 cups  
popped popcorn  
½ cup  
5. Place bowl under chute  
large enough to accom-  
modate up to 15 cups of  
popped corn.  
6. Turn switch to ON.  
7. Turn switch off when  
kernels stop popping.  
CAUTION: AFTER  
POPPING, THE POPPING  
CHAMBER IS EXTREMELY  
HOT. DO NOT REMOVE CHUTE OR PUT  
HANDS NEAR CHAMBER UNTIL IT IS  
COMPLETELY COOL.  
NOTE: Premium popcorn has larger  
kernels, resulting in a higher yield of popped  
corn. If using premium popcorn, the yield may  
sometimes be greater than stated above.  
The flavor possibilities for popcorn are end-  
less. Just add melted butter and your favorite  
seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.  
With toppings added, popped popcorn will  
become much crisper and the flavors become  
more intense if it is heated with toppings in a  
300°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before  
serving. For best results, heat it on a baking  
sheet lined with foil and coated with nonstick  
cooking spray.  
CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
1. Unplug the popcorn maker and let  
cool completely.  
2. Place chute and measuring cup into the  
dishwasher, or wash with mild detergent  
and rinse to clean.  
3. Exterior of unit can be wiped clean with  
a damp cloth.  
NOTE: It is very important to use fresh  
popcorn. If your popcorn is old, the kernels  
will not fully pop and/or it may take longer  
for them to pop.  
SEASONING SUGGESTIONS  
Cheese  
NOTE: Never immerse the popcorn maker  
in water.  
4. Any other servicing should be performed  
by an authorized service representative.  
Taco seasoning  
Chili powders  
Hot sauce  
Packaged sauces (e.g., Alfredo)  
Soy sauce  
Italian seasoning and herbs

Butter/Seasoning Ratios for Popcorn

unpopped kernels and a minimum of  
1 teaspoon of seasoning.  
Makes about 10 cups  
3 tablespoons melted butter for 13 cup  
unpopped kernels and a minimum of  
2 teaspoons of seasoning.  
¹/3

2½ teaspoons to a tablespoon of seasoning.  
½ to ¾ teaspoon kosher/sea salt

unit on.  
Note: Use olive oil for a little richer flavor, or  
grapeseed oil, which imparts no flavor at all  
to popcorn.

Add the olive oil and salt to the popped corn and  
mix to fully coat. Serve immediately.

tablespoons granulated sugar  
teaspoon ground cinnamon  
(add an extra pinch if you  
are a big cinnamon lover!)  
3. Watch the caramel mixture on the stove closely.  
Using a candy thermometer, monitor the  
temperature of the caramel. It should be between  
240°F and 260°F, not exceeding 260°F. Once it is  
boiling, and turning golden brown (about 6 to 8  
minutes) it should start to thicken slightly. Turn the  
popcorn maker on to begin popping. Leave the  
caramel on warm until popcorn is popped.

small skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted  
stir in the sugar, cinnamon and salt until well  
incorporated; remove from heat and reserve.  
6. This popcorn recipe also makes delicious  
popcorn balls. To do so, line a tray or pan with  
aluminum foil and lightly coat the foil and a one  
cup measure with nonstick cooking spray. Rub a  
little spray on your hands as well. Using the oiled  
measuring cup, scoop out 1-cup of the caramel  
corn at a time and form into balls. Put onto the  
oiled foil. Repeat with remaining popcorn – yield  
should be about 8 to 10 popcorn balls. If not  
serving immediately, wrap in waxed paper.  
4. Once the last kernel has popped, turn unit off.  
Pour the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the popped  
corn and mix to fully coat. Serve immediately.

LIMITED THREE-YEAR  
WARRANTY  
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are  
a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® EasyPop® Hot Air  
Popcorn Maker that was purchased at retail for personal,  
family or household use. Except as otherwise required  
under applicable law, this warranty is not available to  
retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners.  
We warrant that your Cuisinart® EasyPop® Hot Air Popcorn  
Maker will be free of defects in materials and workmanship  
under normal home use for 3 years from the date of  
original purchase.  
We recommend that you visit our website,  
www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to complete  
your product registration. However, product registration  
does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain  
the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the  
warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof  
of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this  
warranty will be the date of manufacture.  
This warranty does not cover any damage caused  
by accident, misuse, shipment or other than ordinary  
household use. This warranty excludes all incidental  
or consequential damages. Some states do not allow  
the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so these  
exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have other  
rights, which vary from state to state .  
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:  
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service,  
California residents have the option of returning a  
nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was  
purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart  
products of the same type. The retail store shall then,  
according to its preference, either repair the product, refer  
the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace  
the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount  
directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the  
product. If neither of the above two options results in the  
appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then  
take the product to an independent repair facility, if service  
or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and  
not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable  
cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for  
nonconforming products under warranty. California  
residents may also, according to their preference, return  
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair  
or, if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer  
Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will  
be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and  
shipping and handling for such nonconforming products  
under warranty.  
Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced  
by someone other than Cuisinart’s Authorized Service  
Center, please remind the servicer to call our Consumer  
Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the  
problem is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced  
with the correct parts, and to ensure that the product is  
still under warranty.
