Frequently Asked Questions - POP50 Duronic

How to use the Duronic POP50 popcorn maker?

Place the appliance on a dry, flat surface. Assemble the parts (cooking chamber, lid, bowl). Plug in the appliance. Add 50 g of corn kernels using the provided scoop. Press the switch to start. The popcorn pops and is expelled into the bowl in about 3 minutes. Turn off and unplug before removing the lid and bowl.

How much corn kernels should I use?

Use the provided measuring scoop to add exactly 50 grams of corn kernels. Do not exceed this amount to prevent the appliance from malfunctioning.

Can I add butter or salt directly into the cooking chamber?

No, do not add anything other than corn kernels into the cooking chamber. Seasonings (butter, salt, caramel) should be added to the bowl once the popcorn is popped.

How long does it take to make popcorn?

The popping process takes about 3 minutes. Do not let the appliance run for more than 5 minutes continuously.

Can I make multiple batches in a row?

Yes, but wait at least 10 minutes between each use to allow the appliance to cool down. This extends the life of the machine.

How to clean the machine after use?

Unplug it and let it cool completely. Remove any unpopped kernels. Clean the exterior and base with a damp cloth then dry. The lid, bowl and scoop can be washed with hot water and dried. The cooking chamber should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.

What if the popcorn doesn't pop or burns?

Check that you haven't put too many kernels (max 50 g). Ensure the cooking chamber is clean and the appliance is on a flat surface. If the problem persists, turn off and let cool for 10 minutes before trying again. Do not use overly moist kernels.

What are the important safety precautions?

Never use the appliance unsupervised, outdoors, or with a damaged cord. Do not immerse in water. Do not exceed 5 minutes of continuous use. Use on a dry, flat surface. Keep out of reach of children.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

Do not use the appliance. The cord must be replaced by a qualified technician or by Duronic to avoid any risk of electrocution.

Is the machine under warranty?

Yes, the machine has a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but not normal wear, misuse, or unauthorized repairs.

1. Using the measuring cup, measure the popcorn kernels and add into the corn-in-let. One full measure (50g) is enough.

Do not overfill the machine with popcorn.

If it is overfilled it could disturb the function of the machine or stop it working.

Only plain popcorn kernels are to be used.

Do not add any other ingredients during popping such as: oil, butter, margarine, syrups, salt or sugar, as damage will occur.

1. Switch on the popcorn maker. After a few moments the continuous popping action will automatically feed Popcorn from the heat chamber out through the top cover, where it will be guided down naturally into the large bowl. This process will last about 3 minutes.

2. When all of the corn has popped,

turn off the popcorn maker and remove the plug from the mains socket.

1. Remove the top cover.

Now the popcorn bowl can be removed and taken with you to eat the popcorn.

Take care when removing the top cover and

measuring cup straight away as they will be hot.

If you want to make more popcorn, wait 10-12 minutes for the machine to cool down before removing the remaining kernels from the last batch and re-filling the machine with fresh kernels.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Before cleaning, remove the mains plug from the mains plug socket.
2. Make sure the popcorn maker has cooled down completely before cleaning.
3. Empty any leftover popcorn or kernels.
4. Clean the plastic parts of the body of the machine with a damp cloth, and then dry afterwards.
