supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
7. Unplug from wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to cool before cleaning or storing this appliance.
8. Never yank the cord to disconnect the cooking unit from the outlet.
Instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
9. Do not operate any appliance if the cord is damaged. Do not use
this appliance if the unit malfunctions, if it is dropped or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest

3
authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or

11. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
12. Do not use this appliance for purposes other than the one for which
it was designed.
13. Do not let the electrical cord hang over the edge of the table or

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for
some time after turning OFF. Always use oven mitts when handling
hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not
place anything on top of the appliance while it is operating or while
it is hot.
1. All users of this appliance must read and understand this Instruction
Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.
2. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
NOTES ON THE PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.
NOTES ON THE CORD
A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to

5
be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used :
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord
should be a grounding-type3-wire cord; and
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape
over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of
the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC
coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the
counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to
darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Getting to Know Your 4 Slice Belgian Wae Maker

Before Using for the First time
1. Carefully unpack the Waffle Maker and remove all packaging and materials.
2. Before using your Waffle Maker for the first time, wipe the cooking plates with a damp
cloth toremove all dust and then dry. Wipe outer surfaces with a slightly damp, soft
cloth or sponge.
CAUTION: Take care to prevent water from running into the appliance.
Never immerse wae maker BODY in water or any other liquids!
3. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat surface. Keep the Waffle Maker closed
until use.
Operating Instructions
1. Using the handle latch, lift the top lid to the open position.
2. Before baking the first waffles of the day, select the plate with the pattern of your
choice and use a heat-resistant brush to apply 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to both the
upper and lower cooking plates. If a brush is not available, spread withanabsorbent
kitchen towel and wipe off any excess oil.
3. Plug unit into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The white POWER light will illuminate as the
WaffleMakerpreheats.
NOTE: When your Waffle Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke
or odor. Thisisnormal and should disappear after 1 or 2 uses. This does not affect
the safety of the appliance. However, as it may affect the flavor of the first waffles
prepared in the Waffle Maker,
it is recommended that these be discarded.
4. While preheating, prepare waffle batter.
5. After approximately 3 to 5 minutes, the white READY light will illuminate, indicating
the unit ispreheated and is ready for use.
6. Recipes will vary in cook time and brownness; batters with more sugar will brown
quicker.
Note the perfect cook times for each batter recipe for future use.
7. Pour waffle batter onto the center of each of the 4 waffles on the lower cooking plate.
If batter is thick, use a spatula to spread batter to edges.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL; batter will expand when cooked.
8. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
9. Allow the Waffle Maker to cook for 4 to 5 minutes, according to recipe directions.
ThewhiteREADYlight will cycle on and off as the unit maintains baking temperature.

10. Wipe the outside with a clean paper towel or cleaning cloth if necessary.
11. At the end of the cook time, open the latch and lift the top lid gently; if it pulls,
continue baking for30 seconds and test again. If the waffles need to bake to a darker
finish, close the lid and continue cooking in 20 second intervals until the desired color
is achieved.
12. Wearing oven mitts, remove waffles from the cooking plates using a non-metallic
utensil. Awoodenor heat-proof plastic spatula can be used to remove the waffles.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the non-stick surface, never use any sharp, pointed or
metal objects.
WARNING: Cooking surfaces are hot, do not touch; use caution until cooking plates
are cool.
NOTE: If additional waffles are to be cooked, keep the Waffle Maker closed to retain
heat. Alwayswait until the blue READY light illuminates before baking more waffles.
NOTE: Waffles made later will bake faster because extra heat has been retained.
It may be necessary to adjust to a shorter cooking time to accommodate.
13. When baking is complete, after waffles have been removed, unplug the power cord
fromelectricoutlet. Lift the top lid to expose the cooking plates and allow unit to cool.
14. Do not clean until unit has been fully cooled.
Wae Baking Tips
• Most recipes can be easily halved or doubled.
• Do not open the Waffle Maker during the first minute of baking or the waffle will
separate. Completely cook the waffle before removing.
• When a waffle is done, the top lid should lift easily. Lift gently; if it pulls, continue
cooking for30seconds and test again.
• When preparing waffle batter, do not over-mix or waffles will be tough.
Stir batter only until largelumps of dry ingredients disappear. Some lumps are ok.
• The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing,
will vary withdifferent waffle batters.
• For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to the outer edge of the lower
cooking plate using a heat-proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before
closing the lid.
• Cake-based waffles are more tender than regular waffles, and may require more care
when removing from the Waffle Maker. Wearing oven mitts, use a spatula to support
waffles when removing from the Waffle Maker.
