Introduction

This guide shows how to completely disassemble the Presto Poplite 04820. Before beginning the disassembly, make sure the popcorn machine is not plugged into the wall and there is no liquid lying around - to ensure you are not harmed during the disassembly.

The Presto PopLite 04820 was made available to consumers on October 2, 2001. This popcorn machine uses both regular or gourmet popcorn kernels and can pop up to 18 cups of popcorn in less than 2 1/2 minutes. The clear plastic chute directs popped popcorn directly into a bowl for easy use. The machine can also be easily cleaned with a wipe.

This device is the Poplite Hot Air Corn Popper, Stock No. 04820.

The device only comes in the color white with yellow details, such as in the main picture of this guide, with dimensions of 6 x 9 x 13.75 inches.

The model number can be found in the bottom part of the machine.

The model and brand can be found on the left side of the device so you can identify it better!

This guide is specifically for the Presto PopLite model number 04820

After disassembling the Poplite, you can see the interworking of the device.
Once the product is plugged into the wall, there is always voltage circulating the device.
