intended use.
14.
Do not use appliance unattended.
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

This appliance is intended for household
use only.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit with the waffle baker.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-
type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This type
of plug will only fit into an electrical outlet
made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding pin
by modifying the plug in any way.
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 waffle baker. Care
must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the coun-
tertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or accidentally tripped over.
