Dear Customer,
All electrical and mechanical equipment needs to be cared for appropriately. It’s important to
note that using or storing the appliance in certain conditions may adversely affect its lifespan and
functionality. Always protect the appliance from the conditions listed below.
Using or storing the appliance in a wet, humid or damp environment can cause:
- deterioration and premature aging of the cover and electric insulation of the appliance,
- premature wearing and aging of the plastic and rubber components,
- rust and corrosion affecting electrical components and metal parts.
Using the appliance in a dusty environment or in the kitchen (where the air may be contaminated
with vapours from cooking oil or grease) can cause:
- greasy dust coatings on the mechanical and electrical elements and the casing of the appliance,
which could result in electrical contact failure or even complete breakdown, and could also
damage the plastic and rubber elements.
The effects of direct sunlight on the appliance can include:
- accelerated deterioration of the appliance casing and its plastic and rubber components,
damage to strength and other structural features. The appliance’s surface may become porous
and fragile, which may result in a safety risk.
Storing the appliance in cold or frosty environment may cause:
- damage to the plastic and rubber components; if they become fragile, this may result in a safety
risk.
- oxidation resulting from condensation, and corrosion of the metal components.
Direct and indirect heat (e.g. being too close to an oven or a heating appliance) can cause:
- damage, deformation, softening or melting of plastic or rubber parts and casing elements, or
deterioration of electrical insulation.
Following the operating instructions and avoiding any of the conditions listed above will help you
increase the lifespan of the appliance. The manufacturer is not responsible if the appliance is stored
inappropriately or contrary to these instructions. You are recommended to have the appliance
serviced regularly by an authorised engineer to keep it working for as long as possible.
Please respect the environment when the appliance reaches the end of its life. Electrical products
must not be disposed of with other residential waste because they can damage the natural world
and may be hazardous to human health. You should dispose of the appliance at an appropriate
recycling site or by using a collection service that specialises in electrical appliances.
Please keep this instruction manual. If you give the appliance to anyone else, you must give them
this instruction manual, too!
• Never cover the sandwich maker or use it near flammable material (e.g. curtains etc).
• Always wait until the sandwich maker has cooled down before removing the cooking plates, changing the
plates, cleaning it or storing it. Take care of the non-stick surfaces when storing the appliance.
• Avoid touching the cooking plates with sharp or abrasive objects as these can damage the non-stick surfaces.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not allow anything to fall into the openings on the appliance and never
insert anything into the openings. When preparing waffles, make sure the batter doesn’t get inside the cover
as this could cause an electrical fault.
• To avoid overloading your electrical supply, do not use another high-power appliance in the same mains
socket or extension as the sandwich maker.
• If your appliance is damaged or operates in an abnormal way, immediately stop using it and take it to an
authorised service engineer for checking, repair or adjustment.
• Modifying or adding an extra length to the power cable of the appliance is forbidden!
Should the cable of the appliance turn out to be too short, it may be extended only by using a commercially
available standard extension cable equipped with protective earth contact, and the extension cable must
have an electrical rating of at least 10 A (cables with lower electrical rating could heat up during use). If
other electric appliances have to be operated simultaneously with the same extension cable, their current
consumptions must be added up to determine the electrical rating requirement of the extension cable. If an
extension cable is used, both the mains socket and the extension cable must have protective earth. When an
extension cable is used, special care must be taken to avoid tripping over it.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage that results from overuse, incorrect operation, incorrect
maintenance, neglecting the information given in the instruction manual or normal wear and tear. In
addition, the manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by any parts of the appliance breaking or
cracking.
• You must not disassemble the appliance, remove its cover or to try to repair it. Ignoring this advice could
cause a serious accident. There are no parts in the appliance that can be repaired at home or used for any
other purpose. Never operate the appliance with a damaged mains cable or connector. Do not use the
appliance if it fails to work normally or if it has been dropped or damaged. If the appliance becomes faulty
for any reason or if any moisture is allowed inside, take it to an authorised service engineer for checking
and repair. Only service engineers who have been trained and approved should repair the appliance. The
manufacturer cannot take any responsibility for unauthorised repairs or for any circumstances resulting from
not following the instructions.
