ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
ALL USERS OF THIS APPLIANCE MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING
OR CLEANING THIS APPLIANCE.
CAUTION HOT SURFACES:
This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use. Proper precautions
must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires or other injury to persons or damage to property.
CAUTION:
The popcorn maker is hot during operation and retains heat for some time after turning off.
Always use oven mitts when handling a hot base. Do not place anything on top of the appliance while it is
operating or while it is hot.
The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.
If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately press the ON/OFF switch to OFF (O)
and unplug the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.
CAUTION:
Never place the clear lid or plastic lid cap in a microwave oven.
NEVER use near water or a damp or high-humitidy area.
NEVER put your face near the unit while popcorn is popping (especially near the chute). Stay at least
3 to 4 feet away from it while corn is popping. Extra caution is necessary when using this product near
small children or pets.
NEVER put your hand in the unit while popcorn is popping. Wait at least 15 minutes after the unit
has been turned off.
Remove all un-popped kernels in the popping chamber before refilling with fresh kernels for the next batch.
Never use microwave popcorn in this appliance. Use traditional kernels only.
WARNING:
Popcorn kernels pop quickly. During this process, it’s normal for some unpopped kernels to
eject from the chute. DO NOT pick up these kernels as they are very HOT!
WARNING:
Stay clear of the chute while the appliance is operating.
NOTES ON THE CORD
The provided short power-supply cord should be used to reduce the risk of tangling or tripping over. Longer
detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised.
If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance.
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTES ON THE PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
