When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse cord,
plug, or any part of the appliance in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
6. 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.

This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a
polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized
or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including the stove.

heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance
containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Do not use appliance unattended.
14. During use, provide 4 to 6 inches air space above, behind, and
on both sides for air circulation.
15. Never remove the waffle with any kind of cutting device or other
metallic kitchen utensil.
16. Always allow the appliance to cool before putting it away, and
never wrap the cord around the appliance while it is still hot.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided
with a grounded cord, the extension cord must also be a grounding
3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
