GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS For your protection, the Cuisinart® Breakfast Express® Belgian Waffle/ Omelet Maker is supplied with a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug and should be used in combination with a properly connected groundingtype outlet as shown in the illustration. NOTE: This Cuisinart® Breakfast Express® Belgian Waffle/Omelet Maker has been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the waffle grids and omelet plates by brushing with cooking oil. Wipe with a paper towel or pastry brush. Remove all packaging and any promotional labels or stickers from your waffle/omelet maker. Be sure that all parts (listed in Parts and Features) of your new waffle/omelet maker have been included before discarding any packing materials. You may want to keep the box and packing materials for use at a later date. SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over. The extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord. This appliance is for 120 volts only and should not be used with a converter. Failure to comply voids the warranty.
