SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SHORT-CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable
power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply
extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and;
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
POWER-CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it rmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks.
If any are found, contact Chefman Customer Support.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packing materials and any removable stickers from the
inside and outside of the wafe maker.
2. Gently wipe down the exterior and interior with a damp cloth or
paper towel to remove any packaging residue. Dry completely. Never
immerse the wafe maker, cord, or plug in water or any other liquids.
3. Wash the measuring cup with warm, soapy water and a sponge. Dry
completely.
4. Read all instructions and follow them carefully.
HOW TO USE THE ANTI-OVERFLOW WAFFLE MAKER
It’s easy to make thick, light, and crisp wafes with no mess using the
Anti-Overow Wafe Maker.
1. Prepare your wafe batter.
2. Place the closed wafe maker on a at, dry surface with space on all
sides. NOTE: Never use aerosol nonstick spray on the wafe maker’s
cooking plates. Nonstick spray will cause buildup over time, which
may cause sticking. If desired, brush the plates with a small amount of
cooking oil instead.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Unwind the power cord completely and plug in the wafe maker.
4. The red POWER light located on the top of the wafe maker will come
on, and the wafe maker will begin to preheat. When the wafe maker
is fully heated, after about 5 minutes, the green READY light will come
on as well.
5. Use the shade setting knob to select your desired shade setting. There
are seven shade settings: MIN (lightest), MAX (darkest), and 5 settings
in between. The higher the setting, the darker and crisper the wafe will
be.
6. Use the included measuring cup to scoop the batter. The amount of
batter needed will vary depending on your recipe, so you may need
to experiment. Start with about
1
/
2
cup for most batters and adjust the
amount as needed. NOTE: The measuring cup’s handle is designed so it
can rest on the side of the batter bowl to prevent batter from dripping
on your counter.
7. Carefully open the wafe maker by positioning a thumb or nger on the
latch release grip and pinching the latch between your ngers.
8. Pour the batter onto the center of the lower cooking plate. TIP: You
may need to adjust the amount of batter you use per wafe to prevent
overow.

9 10
• When making wafe batter, mix just until large lumps disappear.
Overmixing can make wafes tough.
• Adding mix-ins, such as fruit or chocolate chips, may take some
experimenting to get right. Try mixing some into a single wafe’s worth
of batter at rst to judge the ratio of batter to mix-in.
• Do not open the wafe maker during the rst minute of cooking as the
wafe may separate.
• If the wafe maker resists opening after the wafe is cooked, allow the
wafe to cook longer in 30-second increments, then try again.
• Wafe results will vary based on the brand of wafe mix or the
recipe used.
• If not serving wafes right away, keep them warm in a 200°F oven. Set
a wire rack on a baking sheet and transfer wafes to the rack so that air
can ow beneath, keeping the wafes crisp.
• Cooked wafes freeze well. Let wafes cool completely, then transfer
to a zip-top plastic bag or wrap in aluminum foil. Unwrap and reheat
wafes in a toaster, toaster oven, or oven.
WAFFLE MAKING TIPSOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9. Close the lid. The green READY light will turn off while the wafe is
cooking and will come back on when the wafe is done. WARNING: Hot
steam escapes from the sides of the wafe maker during cooking and
can potentially cause burns. Keep away from the steam.
10. When the green READY light comes back on, carefully open the lid.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when opening the wafe maker once the
wafe is done as hot steam will escape and may cause burns.
11. Use silicone-tipped tongs to remove the cooked wafe. (Do not use
metal utensils as they can scratch the nonstick surface.)
12. To make more wafes, brush away any crumbs left in the plates, then
close the lid and let the wafe maker reheat until the green READY light
comes back on. Repeat steps 6-11.
13. When nished, unplug the wafe maker to turn it off. Let it cool
completely before cleaning and storing in a cool, dry place.

11 12
With its nonstick plates, the wafe maker is super easy to clean.
1. Unplug the wafe maker when done and let cool completely before
cleaning.
2. Use a soft bristle brush, such as a pastry brush, or a paper towel to brush
away crumbs from the plates. The measuring cup may be washed with
warm, soapy water and a sponge.
3. The wafe maker does not disassemble for cleaning. Gently wipe down
the interior plates and the exterior (if necessary) with a damp cloth or
paper towel.
4. To remove batter that has cooked onto the plates, pour a small amount
of cooking oil onto the hardened batter. Allow to sit for 5 minutes,
then wipe off with a dry towel or damp paper towel. Never use coarse
scouring pads or steel wool as this can damage surfaces. CAUTION:
Never immerse the wafe maker, the cord, or the plug in water or any
other liquids.
5. Always allow all parts to dry completely.
6. The cord can be wrapped underneath the wafe maker, and the wafe
maker may be stored in the upright position to save space.
