The terms "device" or "product" are used in the warnings and instructions to refer to:

Popcorn machine

2.1. Electrical safety

a) The plug must fit the socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Using original plugs and matching sockets reduces the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed elements such as pipes, heaters, boilers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if the earthed device is exposed to rain, comes into direct contact with a wet surface or is operating in a damp environment. Water getting into the device increases the risk of damage to the device and of electric shock.
c) Do not touch the device with wet or damp hands.
d) Use the cable only for its designated use. Never use it to carry the device or to pull the plug out of a socket. Keep the cable away from heat sources, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) If working with the device outdoors, make sure to use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If using the device in a damp environment cannot be avoided, a residual current device (RCD) should be applied. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
g) Do not use the device if the power cord is damaged or shows obvious signs of wear. A damaged power cord should be replaced by a qualified electrician or the manufacturer's service centre.
h) To avoid electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or device in water or other liquids. Do not use the device on wet surfaces.
i) Do not use in very humid environments or in the direct vicinity of water tanks.
j) Prevent the device from getting wet. Risk of electric shock!

2.2. Safety in the workplace

a) Make sure the workplace is clean and well lit. A messy or poorly lit workplace may lead to accidents. Try to think ahead, observe what is going on and use common sense when working with the device.
b) Do not use the device in a potentially explosive environment, for example in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
c) If you are unsure about whether the product is operating correctly or if you find damage, please contact the manufacturer's service centre.
d) Only the manufacturer's service centre may make repairs to the product. Do not attempt to make repairs yourself!
e) In case of fire, use a powder or carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguisher (one intended for use on live electrical devices) to put it out.
f) Children or unauthorised persons are forbidden to enter a work station.
g) Please keep this manual available for future reference. If this device is passed on to a third party, the manual must be passed on with it.
h) If this device is used together with another equipment, the remaining instructions for use shall also be followed.

Remember! When using the device, protect children and other bystanders.

f) The device is not a toy. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.

2.4. Safe device use

a) Disconnect the device from the power supply before commencement of adjustment, cleaning and maintenance. Such a preventive measure reduces the risk of accidental activation.
b) When not in use, store in a safe place, away from children and people not familiar with the device who have not read the user manual. The device may pose a hazard in the hands of inexperienced users.
c) Keep the device in perfect technical condition. Before each use check for general damage and especially check for cracked parts or elements and for any other conditions which may impact the safe operation of the device. If damage is discovered, hand over the device for repair before use.
d) Keep the device out of the reach of children.
e) Device repair or maintenance should be carried out by qualified persons, only using original spare parts. This will ensure safe use.
f) To ensure the operational integrity of the device, do not remove factory-fitted guards and do not loosen any screws.
g) When transporting and handling the device between the warehouse and the destination, observe the occupational health and safety principles for manual transport operations which apply in the country where the device will be used.
h) Avoid situations where the device stops working during use due to excessive loading. This may result in overheating of the drive elements and damage to the device.
i) Do not touch articulated parts or accessories unless the device has been disconnected from the power source.
j) Do not move, adjust or rotate the device in the course of work.

APPLIANCE LOCATION

The temperature of environment must not be higher than 40^ and the relative humidity should be less than 85% . Ensure good ventilation in the room in which the device is being used. There should be at least 10cm distance between each side of the device and the wall or other objects. The device should always be used when positioned on an even, stable, clean, fireproof and dry surface, and be out of the reach of children and persons with limited mental and sensory functions. Position the device such that you always have access to the power plug. The power cord connected to the appliance must be properly grounded and correspond to the technical details on the product label.

Disassemble the device and all its components and clean them before the first use.

3.3. Assembling the device

Trolley assembly (RCPW-16E.1-2F and RCPW-16E-2F models only):

3.4. Device use

ATTENTION: Before usage please remove the adhesive tape from the mixing arm which is located inside of the bowl.

ATTENTION! After reading the manual, before first use, please turn on the machine for 30

minutes making sure that the room is ventilated. The appearance of a small amount of smoke and the smell of paint is a normal occurrence of a new product in the process of heat up. Open the machine and ventilate, also clean using the cleaning agent dedicated for contact with food products. Machine is ready for use.

3.4.1. Operation

1. In order to switch on the heating range and the light turn on the switch (LIGHT & KEEP WARM).
2. Set the appropriate operating mode: SALTY POPS or SWEET POPS.
3. Turn on the switch HEAT & TURN and pre-heat the bowl for 5-6 minutes. Put 50ml oil, 150g corn and appropriate amount of salt or sugar depending on the selected operating mode into the pan.
4. Please note that during the production of popcorn, the door needs to be closed so that the hot popcorn cannot escape and cause burns.
5. Stir the popcorn until all corn is popped. Turn off the switch HEAT & TURN. Now, tip the popcorn out of the bowl. To do that you have to operate the lever attached to the bowl.
6. You can repeat this procedure as often as you want to. It only takes approximately 2 minutes until the corn pops steadily.
7. Do not let any oil drop on the hot plate as it can result in a fire. WARNING: Do not let any water drip on the plate during the popcorn popping procedure.
8. The device is equipped with a thermostat. If the temperature exceeds the maximum the machine switches off automatically to ensure the required safety.

ATTENTION: The pot has to be emptied and the heating turned off as soon as the frequency (approx. 2-3 seconds) of popping slows down. Only like this, burning of sugar and popcorn as well as damage to the coating can be prevented. It is not always possible for all corn to pop. Remove residues after every production cycle. We cannot assume liability for damages to the pot's coating due to improper use.

ATTENTION!

Before use, ensure that the rotating metal rod does not come into direct contact with the Teflon bottom of the pot.

When processing salty popcorn, make sure that fine salt is added to the pot, do not add coarse salt! Do not use the "SALTY POPS" function to prepare sweet popcorn, as the temperature of the "SALTY POPS" function is higher than that of the "SWEET POPS" function, which may cause the sweet popcorn to burn.
