•
Unused corn must be stored in a dark, dry place away from moisture. The
suitably resealed original packaging is usually sufficient for conservation even
for several weeks.
•
The moisture level of corn stored for a long time could vary even
considerably, making it less suitable for preparing popcorn: therefore, do not
use popcorn stored for excessively long.
•
Do not use fresh corn for making popcorn. The moisture rate suitable for the
preparation is obtained through an elaborate production process carried out
after the harvest; corn extracted from fresh or sun-dried cobs does not lend
itself to an acceptable preparation.
•
At the end of preparation, the popcorn can be garnished with salt, sugar,
cocoa or other flavourings to taste.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The product does not require maintenance, or rather the replacement of consumable
parts or scheduled overhaul. As a rule, it is sufficient to clean the lid tip and the scoop at
regular intervals using common dish soap applied with a sponge and adequate rinsing.
All cleaning must absolutely be carried out with the power cord disconnected and,
before reconnecting, you must ensure that all parts are completely dry. All surfaces and
especially the heating element must also be completely cooled down.
Always avoid aggressive detergents, abrasive sponges, iron wool or other chemical
cleaners. Use a damp cloth to clean the inside walls when the appliance is completely
cooled down.
Use only a cloth moistened with water on the external surfaces.
