oil is not necessary for this brand of popper. The seeds will pop themselves. Just make sure you don't overfill it with seeds. You have to turn it off when it is done. You'll need a bowl to catch the popped popcorn. Wait 15 minutes after popping before starting again.

I have the same popper and the instructions. You do not need any oil. There is a circle lid piece at the top of the popper. You put the pop corn seeds in that lid and then pour the seeds in through the hole at the top. The popper needs to be off while you do this. Once you've added the popcorn you can then turn on the switch located on the back of the popper. It looks like a small light switch. The popcorn will start popping and it may smell funny at first if you haven't used it or used it properly. You have to monitor it and turn it off yourself- using that same switch. And per the manual you need to wait 15 minutes before you use it again.
We use ours all the time and love it. Hope this helps.

1 tablespoon oil and half a cup of popcorn. You can get the manual here:

No oil needed - is hot air popper. Use round lid on top to measure popcorn, pour popcorn into metal part in center of popper.

I found your owner's manual here: http://nostalgiaelectrics.com/?wpfb_dl=155 Took a fast look through it and found no reset switch. However, there is an automatic lock. Just hit the cancel button and within 2 minutes, use your unit.

Water line may be frozen, heat it with a hair dryer, see if water then flows.This can happen if aair flow to bottom of frig is blocked.

Double check the kettle is plugged in tight, otherwise there are no repairable parts on Nostalgia poppers.

i lent mine out and it came back without a cord , found one on a old burnt out pitzelle iron that worked in my pile , it's just not as long as the original lesson: look at your other appliances you might allready have one !!

What would you like to know.

There are no parts available for Nostagia brand anything, anywhere. Replacing the popper with a better brand is your only choice.

http://www.nostalgiaelectrics.com/default.asp?c=4 the customer support has an option to dl a manual.

Nostalgia does not have repair parts, return the machine to where you bought it.
