Questions & Answers
Can I make 2 consecutive poppers full w/o it needing to cool down?

If you have any questions or need to place an order for parts, please contact Presto Customer Service Department. We are available Monday-Friday 8:00am - 4:00pm Central Time. Call 1-800-877-0441.

Can the presto pop-lite popper be run with LESS than the amount listed in the instructions, say by 50% or less?
All Presto hot air poppers operate by weight. If there is not enough weight in the chamber, the hot air will blow out unpopped kernels. Note: Some varieties of small and lighter weight kernel popcorn are not recommended for use with hot air poppers. If there are any questions or concerns, please reach out to Presto Customer Service Department Monday-Friday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm Central Time at 1-800-877-0441. We are here to help.
We have put less in it .
Is the inside metal that pops the corn stainless or aluminum?
I doubt it is stainless at this price.
The popping chamber is aluminum.
Is there a on/off switch? Pulling out the plug to turn off/turn on is not to safe.
Not on this one the poplight plus has a on off switch
There is no ON/OFF switch. Pull on the plug not the cord.
No switch on mine. Still happy with it.
No on/off switch. I agree, not safe. I was disappointed to discover, but decided to keep as there are no young children in my home. Home Depot had the lowest price, as other retailers were charging $10+ more for this yellow one.
All of Presto® popcorn poppers are manufactured without an on/off switch. Your popper has been approved by Underwriter Laboratories and is within their guidelines for safety.

Do you put anything else but kernels in a air popper! There are no instructions with this one!
Nothing but the kernels.
We are sorry to hear the manual was missing. Here is a link to the manual: https://www.gopresto.com/uploads/downloads/instructions/0482007.pdf You will only add popcorn to the chamber. Adding oil or any other liquid will damage the popper. If you would like a hard copy or have any other questions, please feel free to contact Presto Customer Service at 1-800-877-0441 weekdays. We are available 8:00 - 4:00 Central Time.
You only add corn kernels to the fill line in the popper. No oil or butter. You may use the butter cup on the top to melt the butter. You can also find the complete user instruction on the Home Depot website using the description above and scrolling down to the Product Overview section and clicking on the link "Use and Care Manual" which will give you the complete use and care instructions.
We only use popcorn kernels with the Poplite, and then only Orville Redenbachers. Never cook more than 1/4 a cup of kernels at a time. Never put oil or butter in the Poplite.
i honestly can't remember. After a few uses, this was donated.
Is it bpa free?
The cover and scoop of this hot air popper is made of polycarbonate, which may contain trace amounts of BPA. If there are any questions or concerns, please reach out to Presto Customer Service Department Monday-Friday 8:00am - 4:15pm Central Time by phone 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail contact1@gopresto.com. We are here to help.
According to Presto this polycarbonate plastic does contain BPA. For more information about this product and its manufactured process contact Presto directly.
It doesn't specify that, but the interior is metal. The yellow scoop is for measuring the amount of popcorn and melting the butter. It is probably 'food grade'. I don't use butter so it doesn't bother me if it isn't. But it is very good plastic. I did read a review on another site that said it is NOT bpa-free. The POPLITE home page does not have any indications of any harmful materials, including the spec sheet and user manual. As it does not specify BPA-FREE then it probaby has BPA.
