IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:

• Read all instructions.

• To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord,

plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.

• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

• Scalding may occur if the cover is removed during the brewing cycle.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.

• Always unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

• Avoid contacting moving parts.

• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance

malfunctions or if the appliance is dropped or damaged in any manner. If you
experience any problems with your machine, unplug it immediately from the
electrical outlet. For service information see warranty page.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by West Bend may result in
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

• Do not use this appliance outdoors.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not let the cord come into contact with hot surfaces, including a stove.

• Keep hands and utensils out of container to reduce the risk of injury to persons or

damage to the appliance.

• Never add to container while the appliance is operating.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• 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.

• To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then remove plug from wall outlet.

• Do not move an appliance containing hot water, tea or other hot liquids.

• Do not run the motor while the mixing container is empty.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not
recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the detachable
power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension
cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be arranged so that
it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children
or tripped over.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Carefully wash the inside of the mixing container and the cover with warm, soapy
water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not immerse the appliance in water, do not get
water under the motor base. This may cause permanent damage and void the
warranty. Note: Do not wash any parts in the dishwasher.

USING YOUR COCOA CRAZY

The measurements used below produce three 7-ounce servings (21 ounces). Refer
to the Ingredients Chart to determine usage for alternate serving sizes.
