West Bend 8 quart - Manual (Page 3)

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.
