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.
