Troubleshooting
Popcorn maker not turning on
Ensure the unit is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Few kernels are popping
Ensure you are using fresh popcorn kernels. Overfilling the chamber can impede hot air circulation; use only the recommended amount (typically one measuring cup).
Popcorn is burning
This can happen if the unit is left on too long after popping finishes. Remove the popped corn immediately once popping slows down significantly.
Unit producing excessive noise
Ensure the unit is on a stable, flat surface. Minor operational noise is normal, but excessive rattling could indicate an issue with the fan mechanism; contact customer support if concerned.
