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 t in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

HOW TO USE YOUR PANCAKE/WAFFLE MAKER
For best results, follow these instructions. Note that when your appliance is new you
may notice some slight smoking or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances
and will not recur. This does not affect the safety of your appliance. Also it is recom-
mended that you discard the first waffle or pancake from your new baker.
1. Before the first waffle or pancake 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/pancakes.
2. Allow the iron to preheat. It will take approximately 5-8 minutes to reach
baking temperature.
3. Ladle just enough batter to fill the lower grid half full so that the peak
area of the plate pattern is covered. If necessary, a silicone spatula
may be used to spread the batter evenly to be sure the corners are
filled properly.
4. Close the baker. Cover will rise slightly as waffles/pancakes begin to
bake. Do not open the cover or the waffles may split. If darker waffles
are desired, let the waffles/pancakes remain to bake another ½ to 1
minute. Remove waffles/pancakes with non-metallic fork or utensil.
5. If you need to take a short break, close the baker to maintain maximum
heat. When you return to baking, waffles/pancakes will bake much
faster because extra heat has been allowed to build up.
6. 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 absorb any excess margarine or shortening. Allow sufficient
time for the maker to cool before attempting to remove plates or clean
them.
7. Plates can be removed by pressing the black button on top, and the
bottom small black button on the bottom.
8. Always check to make sure plates are secured before plugging in the
device. Plates that are not inserted properly may result in unevenly
cooked pancakes or waffles, and increases risk of burning and
malfunction.

CHANGING THE PLATES
Do not attempt to change the plates while device is hot. Allow device and plates
sufficient time to cool before attempting to handle plates.
Open the baker, locate the plate release buttons on front of the unit. Press firmly
on button and the plate will pop up slightly from the base. Grasp the plate with
two hands, slide it out from under the metal brackets, and lift it out of the base.
Press on the other plate release button to remove the other cooking plate in the
same manner.
CLEANING AND CARE
1. When you are through baking, always unplug the baker from the wall
outlet to turn off and leave it open to cool. After cooling, remove plates
to clean and make sure any excess crumbs or oil have been wiped
away with a paper towel. Be sure to remove all food from baker surfaces
before storing.
2. Wipe the cooking plates with paper towels and use only wood or
silicone utensils to get into narrow grooves.
3. The cooking plates are hand wash only.
4. Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the non-stick
coating.
5. Do not use metal utensils to remove your foods, they can damage the
non-stick surface.
6. Wipe the outside of the baker with a damp cloth only. Do not clean
the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will
damage the finish. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
7. Do not place in the dishwasher.
8. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth and replace.
9. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury to
persons.
DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN WATER OR
LIQUID. DO NOT PLACE IN DISHWASHER
RECIPES
FOR BEST BAKING RESULTS:
Do not open the baker during the first 90 seconds of baking.
Do not attempt to remove waffles or pancakes from baker until they are
completely cooked.
Stir waffle or pancake batter just until large lumps disappear. Do not over-mix
An extra crispy waffle may be made by first beating the egg yolks, blending with
flour & other ingredients, and then gently folding stiffly beaten egg whites into
the batter.
RECIPE HINTS
Make your waffles and pancakes special. You can put fresh fruit, whipped cream, sour
cream or yogurt on a waffle. Sprinkle with nuts, granola, coconut, chocolate shavings.
Make a chocolate waffle or pancake, plunk a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and drib-
ble on chocolate sauce. You can use whole wheat flour in equal amounts or half & half
to make a healthier waffle or pancake. Top with yogurt and fresh peach slices. Let your
imagination roam.
