Consumer Safety Information
3
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/sandwich griddle.
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.
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 an extension cord is
used, it must also be a grounded-type 3-wire
cord. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the
rating of the appliance. Care must be taken
to arrange the extension cord so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose
of the grounding pin by modifying the plug
in any way.
Never remove, insert, or replace grids unless
unit is unplugged and unit and grids are
completely cool.
The waffle baker/sandwich griddle is made
with a Cool Touch top. This means that,
during normal use, the top surface will not
cause burns to hands or fingers if accidentally
touched. Other surfaces may be hot so care
should always be taken when using this or
any appliance.
WARNING: Always use a hot mitt to
protect hand when
opening a hot waffle
baker/ sandwich
griddle. Escaping
steam can burn.
