Safeguards

CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires or other damage to persons or property.

CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for some time after turning off. Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place anything on top of the appliance while it is operating or while it is hot.

1. All users of this appliance must read and understand this Owner’s Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.

2. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet only.

3. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately unplug the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.

4. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.

Polarized Plug

RHBW4

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

3-Prong Plug

RHBW4CAN

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 the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Short Cord Instructions

RHBW4/RHBW4CAN

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. The use of an extension cord is not recommended.

Electric Power

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance will not operate. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Plasticizer Warning

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the

counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place-mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

Introduction

Before Using for the First Time

1. Carefully unpack the Waffle Maker.

2. Make sure the unit is unplugged and then wipe all surfaces with

a slightly damp, soft cloth and dry thoroughly. Never immerse the Waffle Maker in water or any other liquid. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleansers as they will damage the finish.

3. To burn off residue on the cooking plates, it will be necessary to

operate the unit for a few minutes before initial use. You will notice smoke and a slight odor while the residue burns off.

4. Allow the waffle maker to operate until smoke and odor disap-

pear. Then, unplug waffle maker and allow it to cool. Be care-

ful, the Cooking Plates will be hot!

Note: Some odor may still be detected during initial use. This is normal and should disappear after one or two uses.
