rotate the belts while moving the cloth across the entire surface. 
This should be done when the machine is switched off and cooled 
down. The best way to clean the belts is to remove completely 
from the machine and lay on a clean flat surface and gently wipe 
using clean warm water. (No detergent is needed) Care should be 
taken to ensure that no debris would get between the belt and the 
hotplate. 

Q: HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE SPLASH GUARD BE CLEANED 
AND WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN THE SPLASH 
GUARD? 

A: The Splash-guard should be cleaned daily. The best way to 
clean the splash guard is to remove from the machine and rinse 
under hot running water or place the entire assembly in the top 
rack of the automatic dishwasher. Alternatively, use a clean damp 
cloth to clean the inside of the plastic tube of the splash guard. 

Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I PULL THE POWER CORD OUT FROM 
THE POWER SOCKET BEFORE TURNING OFF THE MACHINE 
BY USING THE POWER ON/OFF BUTTON? 

A: If the Power cord is removed from the outlet socket the cooling 
fans will not receive power to continue cooling the Popcake 
machine. If the power cord is unplugged before allowing the “cool-
down cycle” to run the machine will overheat and may cause 
damage in the long term. Avoid unplugging the machine before it 
powers OFF following the cooling down routine, after pressing 
POWER On/Off button.  

Q: WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN THE MACHINE TELLS ME 
“BAG UNWINDING” AFTER I HAVE JUST LOADED A NEW 
BAG 

A: This should only occur if the bag loaded was NOT a full bag. If it 
occurs, check the bag, close the lid, then press OK to make 
pancakes. Once the machine displays “USING FULL BAG?” 
1=YES, 2= NO, press 2 for NO, so the process continues.  

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER 

“

ALWAYS”

 USE 72F / 22C  WATER WHEN PREPARING MIX 

“

ALWAYS”

 SHAKE THE BAG VIGOROUSLY AND AGGRESSIVELY FOR 20-

30 SECONDS ON EACH SIDE WHEN PREPARING MIX 

“

ALWAYS”

 MAKE SURE THE CAP IS SCREWED ON TIGHTLY BEFORE 

LOADING THE BAG 

 “ALWAYS”

 MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF FOR 

A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING THE POWERCORD 
FROM THE SOCKET.
