• The appliance is heated electrically via integrated heating elements.
Do not heat the appliance via any other heating device. Do not place
the appliance or any part of it in a range, or on or near hot surfaces
(e.g. burner, heater, or oven).
• Do not handle the appliance or any part of it with violence. Always
turn the locking clip to the horizontal open position, before opening
the lid and operating the appliance.
• Do not tilt the appliance or place the appliance upright, while it is still
hot. Hot fat and batter could run out and cause injuries and dama-
ge. Always switch off (press the "POWER" button), unplug and lea-
ve the appliance cool down, before moving, cleaning, or storing the
appliance. Always ensure that the locking clip is closed firmly, before
moving the appliance via the handle and before storing the appliance.
• Do not use any hard or sharp-edged objects with the appliance (e.g.
knives, forks, metal scrapers). Do not use any cooking utensils that
could melt, burn, crack, get distorted, or give off harmful substances,
when exposed to heat.
• The batter may splash, when placed on the hot waffle plates, and hot
steam may escape. Always ensure that persons (including you) stay in
sufficient distance to the appliance during operation. Always expect
that splashes may escape.
• Do not place any hard and/or heavy objects on or in the appliance
or any part of it.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring
pads), or any corrosive chemicals (e.g. bleach, over cleaner) for cleaning.
Do not place the appliance or power cord in an automatic dishwasher.
• Do not leave any food dry on the appliance. Always clean the appli-
ance after each use to prevent an accumulation of baked-on food
(see: 'Care and Cleaning'). Always keep the appliance and its parts,
where it is clean.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The WAFFLE IRON ADVANCED CONTROL is heated electrically. Place
the appliance near a suitable wall power outlet to connect the appliance
directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your
power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance
(220 - 240 V ~, 50 - 60 Hz). The power outlet socket must be installed
separately from other power outlet sockets to avoid interference with other
appliances.
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.)
with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supp-
lying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your
electrician for further information. In various foreign countries, the specifi-
cations for power supplies are subject to incompatible norms. Therefore,
it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the
requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating
the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible. Do not use
any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, or remote control systems.
It is best to avoid using an extension cord, but if you wish to use one,
ensure that it is rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 16 A
with safety plug, safety coupler plug, and protective conductor (earth/
ground) connected properly. For disconnecting: Always unplug the exten-
sion cord from the power supply first.
• Always unplug the appliance, when it is not in use, and before
moving or cleaning the appliance.
• Always handle power cords with care. The pins of the power plug
must be smooth and clean. Always completely unwind the power
cord before use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord.
Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squee-
zed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the
table or counter. The power cord may never touch hot surfaces or
sharp edges. Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power
cord or get entangled in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to
disconnect the power cord.
