Save these Instructions

For Christmas I got a new waffle maker with removal plates (for ease of wash). This morning I finally opened it. While the unit was warming up I read the IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS and SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
.
My favorite is as follows:

A. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks presented by a long cords such as entanglement and tripping.

Damn how would you like to have been the lawyer in that case?

that is quite the excuse for skimping on the cord length ;) tripping over a waffle iron cord... that seems difficult to picture!

funny...I thought the risk of waffle-ironing the cord would be the reason for the shortness. Guess thats what I get for thinking.

I am with Paula on this one, tripping and entanglement from a long cord I don't get, but cooking the cord is, or they are just cheap and want a short cord!!

Maybe someone waffled a body part while tripping and becoming entangled in the cord.
