Important Safeguards for all Electrical Appliances
• The Design Wafflemaker is electrical heated. Ensure that the voltage rating of your
mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance
(220/230 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance directly to a mains power
supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth) connected properly. The
installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated residual
operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If
in doubt, contact your local electrician for further information. Do not use multiple
electrical adapters.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply.
Always turn the appliance off and IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance after operation,
if it is not in use and before cleaning. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the appli-

The power cord may never be knotted or squeezed. Do not let the power cord hang
over the edge of the table or counter. Take care not to entangle in the power cord.
• Do not immerse the motor housing or power cord in water or any other liquid.
• Do not pour or drip any liquids on the appliance or power cord. When liquids
