IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, always follow the basic safety
precautions below:
1. Do not touch hot surfaces, use the handles instead.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse power cord, plug,
or appliance in water or any other liquid.
3. Do not operate appliance if it has malfunctioned or has been
damaged in any manner. To avoid the risk of an electric shock, never
try to repair the appliance yourself.
4. Do not use appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
5. Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is being used by
or near children.
6. Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage
indicated on the appliance’s rating label.
7. Avoid contact with moving parts.
8. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
9. Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you insert or
remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug – do not pull on the cord.
10. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
appliance to cool completely before handling.
11. Turn the power off and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use.
12. Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.
13. Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas burner, electric element
or any other heated household appliance.
14. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or
touch any hot surface to avoid risk of injury or fire.
15. After connecting the appliance to an electric power supply, the
cooking surface will begin to heat. To close or open the top cooking
plate, use the thermally insulated handle. To remove a cooked waffle,
use a wooden or heat resistant spatula.
DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER OR ANY LIQUID.
DO NOT PLACE IN DISHWASHER

POLARIZED 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 in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. When an appliance has a flexible cord less than
4 ½ feet (1.4m) in length, the extension cord should be grounding-type 3-wire
cord and meet the following requirements:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table where it
can be pulled on or tripped over unintentionally.
THIS DEVICE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

CLEANING AND CARE
• Before first use, wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge and
dry with a dry paper towel or cloth.
• Connect the device to the power supply and leave turned on for at least
5-7 minutes to dissipate any odor. This is normal with many heating
appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.
• Note: when first turned on, the device may emit a light smoke or odor. This
is due to the heating of internal components and it will stop shortly. If it
does not cease, unplug device and contact the customer service email at
the end of this manual.
• When you are through baking, always unplug the waffle from the wall
outlet to turn off and leave it open to cool. After cooling, make sure any
excess crumbs or oil have been wiped away with a paper towel. There is
no need to disassemble appliance to clean.
• Clean the cooking plates with paper towels and use only wood or silicone
utensils to clean the smaller or narrow grooves to avoid scratching the
nonstick surface.
• Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth only. Do not clean
the inside or outside with any abrasive scouring pads or steel wool as this
may damage the finish.

HOW TO USE YOUR WAFFLE IRON
Before the first waffle of the day, use a pastry brush to carefully coat the entire
surface of both halves of the waffle baker with vegetable oil or melted
shortening. Spray shortenings work very well for this purpose. Repeat this only
at the start of each day that you bake waffles.
• Plug into a 120 V AC wall outlet. Allow the iron to heat on setting 7. The
indicator light will glow, indicating that the baker has begun preheating.
It will take approximately 5-8 minutes to reach baking temperature. When
baking temperature has been reached, the light will turn OFF. The baker
is now ready for baking. We suggest you use setting 5 on your first waffle
and adjust for the desired cook of your waffles.
• When the light is OFF, ladle just enough batter to fill the lower grid half
full so that the peak area of the waffle pattern is covered. If necessary, a
silicone spatula may be used to spread the batter evenly to be sure the
corners are filled properly.
• Close the baker. Cover will rise slightly as waffles begin to bake. Do not
open the cover or the waffles may split. The light will come ON during
baking. When it goes OFF, you can remove waffles. They should take about
3 minutes to bake. If darker waffles are desired, let the waffles remain to
bake another ½ to 1 minute. For lighter waffles, remove in 2½ to 3 minutes.
Remove waffles with non-metallic fork or utensil.
• Always wait until the light is OFF before pouring batter. Once you pour
batter and close the lid, the light will automatically go ON. Continue to
bake. Then, when the light goes OFF, waffles have cooked to the chosen
level of browning and may be removed.
• If you need to take a short break, close the baker to maintain maximum
heat. A hot waffle iron produces the best results. Waffles may tend to stick
as the iron cools down. When you return to baking, waffles will bake faster
because the waffler has been allowed to retain heat while closed.
• When you are through baking, simply unplug from the wall outlet to turn
off and leave baker open to allow it to cool. After it has cooled, brush
crumbs from the grooves and wipe off the grids with dry paper towels to
remove any oil or batter.

FOR BEST BAKING RESULTS
• Try not open the waffle during the first 90 seconds of baking.
• Try not attempt to remove waffles from baker until they are completely
cooked.
• Stir waffle batter just until large lumps disappear. Try not over-mix.
• Crispier waffle may be made by first separating the egg yolks, blending
with flour and other ingredients, and then gently folding stiffly beaten egg
whites into the batter as the final step before baking.
RECIPE HINTS
Make your waffles special by serving with fresh fruit, whipped cream, sour
cream or yogurt. Sprinkle with nuts granola, coconut, chocolate shavings for
added texture. For a chocolate waffle dessert, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice
cream on top and stripe with your favorite caramel syrup.
For a healthy twist, swap the flour with whole wheat flour, and use half & half
instead of cream. Then top with Greek yogurt and fresh peach slices.
Happy cooking!
