This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to
service product. Power unit never needs lubrication.
A short-power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or trip-
ping ober a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked electrical
rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the waffle maker. The extension cord
should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over intentionally.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety fea-
ture, 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.
