Consumer Safety Information

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 plug will

only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug
should fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.

This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled or tripping over
a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if the electrical rating is equal to or greater
than the rating of the waffle baker/sandwich griddle. An extension cord rated at least 10
amperes may be used. 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 tripped over.

Do not use this unit near an oven, heater, or fireplace.
If using an extension cord, it should be connected to the unit’s power cord before it is plugged

into the outlet. In the case of a power failure, the same procedure should be followed.
Never remove, insert, or replace grids unless unit is unplugged, and unit and grids are

completely cool.

WARNING: To reduce
the risk of fire or
electrical shock, do
not grill meats, fatty
foods, or marinated
products on the
sandwich griddle.
