A: Thank you for your interest in the Dash SmartStore Stirring Popcorn Maker! Just like when cooking popcorn on the stove top or in the microwave, you can tell it is almost finished when the popping slows down. At that point, you would switch the unit off. You can find all of this information and more in the instruction manual included. Hope this helps!
