Hi, not only can you use it with the plastic part of the lid off, you should. My finding is that if we make popcorn with the plastic part of the lid on, moisture can't escape and it makes the popcorn soggy.
The plastic LID remains OFF while the corn is being popped. This lets the steam escape so the popped corn stays crisp and doesn't come out "chewy". Put the LID ON when popping is done and turn the top over to remove from the cooking base. It's its own serving bowl. Very simple, very convenient.

the ratio for popping corn with oil is three parts corn to one part oil . So a 6 oz kettle you would use 6 oz of corn seed to 2 oz of oil. Don't use butter to pop, it will burn.
three parts corn to one part oil. so 6 oz corn to 2 oz oil. if it takes over 4 min. in a hot kettle (if its heating rite) its too much for it, if its done under 3 min. not enough .
could be that the bowel had a thin plastic protection on it when new that should have been peeled off before starting it up
could be a wire touching the hot bowel and melting
what ever , it is under warranty so take it to a service dealer or authorized repair shop and have it checked out
smoke and smell are food contaminants so the cause has to be found for safety reasons
single layer of popcorn on bottom of entire maker...no oil is needed but you can use a tablespoon if you like...butter melts through the hokes in lid....Place butter pats over top holes in lid before popping starts if you want butter to drip down on the corn ( it does pop better with a little oil!)
how much oil and popcorn do you put in?
How much popcorn do I use and how much oil?
