When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following: • Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use instructions in this manual. • Do not use appliance for other than intended use. • The use of accessory attachments not recommended by West Bend® Housewares may cause injuries. • Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page. • Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself. • For household use only. To prevent burns, personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings. Heat Precautions • Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs where provided. Use hot pads or oven mitts when handling hot surfaces. • Do not move an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. • This popcorn popper will not shut off automatically. To avoid overheating, add corn and oil before operating. • Do not use this appliance or the cover on the stovetop, under the broiler, in the freezer, or in the oven. • Extreme caution must be used when unloading popcorn. Always turn the unit away from you and over a countertop so that residual hot oil or water running out will not cause burns. To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings. Electricity Precautions • To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids. • Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. • Do not use electric parts outdoors, or place them on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, refrigerator or freezer. • Always attach cord to corn popper first, then plug cord into wall outlet. After popping, unplug cord from wall outlet. Let corn popper cool before removing cord. • Do not leave corn popper plugged in when it is not being used. • Always unplug appliance from outlet before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. • Never leave corn popper unattended when it is plugged into an outlet. • Your popcorn popper has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other flat surface area. • While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the popcorn popper (wattage is stamped on the underside of the heating base). Position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other flat surface area. • Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the popcorn popper. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug. • Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot. • Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during operation. To prevent burns or other personal injuries to children, read and follow all instructions and warnings. Precautions For Use Around Children • Always supervise children. • Do not allow children to operate or be near the popcorn popper, as the outside surfaces are hot during use. • Do not allow cord to hang over any edge where a child can reach it. Arrange cord to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement.
