POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord or detachable 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.
If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance;
• 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; and
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
NOTICES
1. Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by
certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot
pad or trivet under your waffle maker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
2. During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal
with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature
or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet
feels warm do not use that outlet.
