rements 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, only use an extension cord
rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 16 A with safety plug and safety coupler
plug and protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Additionally, the extension
cord must be of sufficient length. When laying power cords, always ensure that no one will
step on the power cord or get entangled or trip over the power cords. Also, ensure that no
tension is applied to any part of the power cords. Tie the extension cord loosely onto the leg
of the table using a separate cord, to ensure that no one will pull the power cord. To connect:
always connect the appliance to the extension cord first. To disconnect: Always unplug the
extension cord from the power supply first.
• 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 squeezed. Do
not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may
not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power
cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the
power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands when the appliance is
connected to the power supply.
• DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on the housing or power cord. Do not immerse the appli-
ance or power cord in water or other liquids. Do not pour or spill any liquids on the housing
or power cord. Do not place the appliance on wet surfaces. When liquids overflowed or are
spilled on the housing or power cord, immediately unplug the appliance. Thereafter, clean
the appliance and let it dry for at least 1 day. (see: ›Care and cleaning‹) Do not clean the
appliance in an automatic dishwasher.
High temperatures – risk of burns
WarNING! HOT surfaCe!
The Design Waffle Maker Pro is designed for baking food. For this purpose, the heating plates
are heated electrically. The heating elements start heating as soon as you connect the appli-
ance to the power supply. Thus, improper handling could cause severe injuries
and damage. Please keep this in mind to avoid burns and damage.
• The heating plate, frame of the heating plate, lid and housing of the ap-
pliance can be very hot during operation and shortly thereafter. Additionally,
during preparation of your food, hot steam and splashes could escape. Do
not touch the hot surfaces with any parts or your body or any heat-sensitive or
moisture-sensitive objects during operation or while the appliance is still hot. Only touch the
appliance and its parts at the handles and operating elements during operation and shortly
thereafter. Beware of hot steam and condensate, when placing food on the heating plate. Do
not leave any foreign objects on the hot heating plate.
• Do not move the appliance when still hot. Always leave the appliance and all its parts cool
down before moving the appliance or cleaning the appliance. Do not place the appliance on
heat-sensitive surfaces, for operation or when hot.
• Do not operate the appliance close to inflammable, volatile materials (e.g. alcohol, spirit, or
benzine), or high-proof alcoholic beverages. Alcohol will quickly evaporate due to the heat,
thus building up an inflammable mixture that could be ignited by any source of ignition (e.g.
