15.
When using this appliance, 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.
16.
Make sure that neither the cord nor
yourself touch any hot part of the
appliance due to danger of burning.
17.
Place the appliance only on a dry and
level surface.
18.
Never remove the waffle with any kind of
cutting device or other metallic kitchen
utensil.
19.
Always allow the appliance to cool down
completely before putting it away and
never wind the cord around the appli-
ance while it is still hot.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
No user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
If the appliance has a grounded-type 3-wire
cord, and an extension cord is used, it must
also be a grounded-type 3-wire cord.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit with the waffle baker.
Your waffle baker will be equipped with one
of the following types of plugs:
Polarized plug:
This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
