When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or any part of the appliance in water or other
liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or
adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Do not use appliance unattended.
• During use, provide 4 to 6 inches air space above, behind, and on both sides for air circulation. Do not use on
surfaces where heat may cause a problem.
• Never remove the waffle with any kind of cutting device or other metallic kitchen utensil.
• Always allow the appliance to cool before putting it away and never wind the cord around the appliance while it
is still hot.
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household
current).
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk 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. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used;
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance, and
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If the power-supply cord is a grounding-type 3-wire cord with a grounding prong on the plug, the extension cord
should also be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is
equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: If the plug on this appliance does not fit in your outlet, do not modify the plug, and do not
use an adapter. Have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
