Important safeguards for all electrical appliances
• The Design Wafflemaker is electrical heated. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains
power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220/240 V,
50 - 60 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance directly to a mains power supply wall socket
with protective conductor (earth) connected properly. The installation of a residual current
safety switch with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying
electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your local electrician for further
information. Do not use multiple electrical adapters.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Always turn
the appliance off and immediately unplug the appliance after operation, if it is not in use and
before cleaning. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the appliance from the power outlet.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not pull or strain the power cord. The power
cord may never be knotted or squeezed. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the
table or counter. Take care not to entangle in the power cord.
• Do not immerse the motor housing or power cord in water or any other liquid.
• Do not pour or drip any liquids on the appliance or power cord. When liquids are spilled
on the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance and dry it to avoid risk of electric shock or
fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in the electrical section of
the appliance. With the appliance connected to the power supply, do not touch the appliance
with wet hands or when the appliance is damp or wet or is touching wet surfaces in order to
avoid risk of electric shock. In this case do not touch the appliance but immediately unplug the
power cord from the power supply and dry the appliance (see:
›
Care and cleaning‹).
• Do not place the appliance or power cord in an automatic dishwasher!
• The appliance is intended for baking waffles. Do not use the appliance for any other purpose.
Hot surfaces – risk of burns
CAUTION: Hot surface!
• The exterior of the Design Wafflemaker and the heating surfaces are getting
hot during operation. Do not touch the exterior of the Design Wafflemaker or
the heating surface while the appliance is in use. Always keep your hands, face
and arms as well as any clothing and other heat-sensitive objects away from the
Wafflemaker during operation and only touch the handle, attachment, or the control panel.
• For moving the hot appliance catch hold of the handle and the attachment of the wafflemaker.
• The appliance is electrical heated. The heating starts as soon as the power switch is turned
on. Do not place any foreign burnable substance (such as papers, plastics, textiles or alike) on
the heating surface, to avoid risk of fire. The appliance needs some time to cool down after
switching OFF the appliance. Do not leave any cooking cutlery on the hot heating surface. Be
aware of not touching the hot heating surface with any parts of your body or heat-sensitive
items. Ensure to open the lid all the way to make sure that it cannot fall down and cause per-
sonal damage.
• Be especially careful when you have to move the appliance while operating or shortly after
use when it is still hot. Hot liquids (such as grease or hot batter) could leak out of the appliance
and cause personal injury or material damage. Always pull the plug and let the appliance
cool down before moving or cleaning the appliance.
