IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against risk of electrical
shock do not immerse cord, plug or
cooking unit in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appli-
ance malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-
free customer service number for
information on examination, repair or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex may cause hazards or
injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces, includ-

Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household
use only.
No user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
If the appliance has a grounded-type 3-wire
cord, and an extension cord is used, it
must also be a grounded-type 3-wire cord.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit with the waffle maker.
Your waffle maker will be equipped with
one of the following types of plugs:
Polarized plug: This type of plug has one
blade wider than the other. The plug will fit
into an electrical outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, try revers-
ing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, remove plug from wall
outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
14. Do not use appliance unattended.
15. When using this appliance, provide
4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) air space
above, behind and on both sides for air
circulation. Do not use on surfaces
where heat may cause a problem.
16. Make sure that neither the cord nor
yourself touch any hot part of the
appliance due to danger of burning.
17. Place the appliance only on a dry and
level surface.
18. Never remove the waffle with any kind of
cutting device or other metallic kitchen
utensil.
19. Always allow the appliance to cool down
completely before putting it away and
never wind the cord around the appli-
ance while it is still hot.
Grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug):
This type of plug will only fit into an electri-
cal 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. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the ground-
ing pin by modifying the plug in any way.
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 a longer cord is
necessary an approved extension cord
may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the waffle maker. Care
must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the coun-
tertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or accidentally tripped over.
