Out of curiosity how are the heating elements wired in this waffle maker? Are they in series or parallel?

Won't the solder melt when you turn on the waffle iron? Duh

Yeah, I think you need to clamp or spot-weld?

Jefferson Malone -

This instruction should be removed!

The Thermal fuse is likely 240C which is 460F.

This is close to the melting point of solder.

The joint needs a mechanical connection.

Run-of-the-mill plastic shrink tube is in no way a replacement for woven fiberglass electrical insulating sleeves.
