Save These Instructions
Notice:
A short electrical cord has been provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. There are longer extension
cords available from a variety of retail stores and may be used if care is exercised
in their use. If a long extension cord is used please note that the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical
rating of the waffle appliance.
Care should be taken to avoid cords hanging over the edge of a counter or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals or tripped over. If your
appliance has a grounded 3-prong plug you must use the compatible 3-wire
extension cord.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature, this plug will 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.
Before Your First Use
Before using for the first time remove all packaging materials. Wash the waffle
plates according to the “Care & Cleaning” section of this manual. During first use
you may notice slight smoking or odor. This is normal with any heating appliance
and will not reoccur after multiple uses. It is recommended that you turn your
Waffle Baker to MAX and run until all smoke and / or odor has dissipated.
This will take approximately 10 – 15 minutes. This does not affect the
safety or your appliance.
