IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including:
Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces, instead use the handles.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse power cord,
plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.
If the power cord is damaged, the manufacturer (or a similarly
qualied person) must replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not use outdoors
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used
by or near children.
Avoid contact with moving parts
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manu-
facturer may cause re, electric shock or injury.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
appliance to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug
or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged
in any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer of its service
agent for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjust-
ment.
Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or count-
er or touch any hot surface.
Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not clean the appliance with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
break off from the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of
electrical shock.
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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - HOUSE-
HOLD USE ONLY
For best results, follow these simple instructions. Note that when
your Krumkake baker is new, you may notice some slight smoking
or odor. This is normal with many heating appliance and will not
recur. This does not affect the safety of your appliance. Also, it is
recommended that you discard the rst two krumkakes from your
new baker.
Plug into a wall outlet. The indicator light will begin to glow, indi-
cating that the baker has begun preheating. It will take approx-
imately 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking temperature. When the
proper baking temperature has been reached, the indicator light
will turn off. At this point, you will see the light going on and off.
This only means that the baker is maintaining the proper baking
temperature, and NOT when to start or stop baking.
Before baking the rst krumkake of the day, use a pastry brush to
carefully coat the entire surface of both halves of the Krumkake
Baker with vegetable oil or melted shortening. Spray shortening
works very well to this purpose. Repeat this only at the start of
each day that you bake krumkakes.
Place about 1 heaping teaspoon of batter on each grid pattern.
You may want to use 2 spoons to place the batter on the grid,
using the second spoon to push the batter off of the rst spoon.
With some experimentation, you will learn that by placing the
batter slightly behind the center of the pattern your krumkake will
come out closer to a round shape. This is because, as you close
the baker, the batter squeezes forward slightly.
Close the baker and clamp the handles together with the handle
clamp. Baking will take approximately 30-40 seconds depending
on your preference for browning, or the consistency of the batter.
Remove the krumkake from the grid with a spatula. If a at
krumkake is desired, place it on a cake rack to cool. If you wish
to shape your krumkake, do so by removing one krumkake from
the grid and shaping it immediately while it is still warm. The oth-
er krumkake will remain warm and pliable until you are ready to
remove it for shaping.

If you need to take a short break, close the baker to maintain the
heat. When you return to baking, you will notice that the rst two
krumkakes will bake much faster because extra heat has been
allowed to build up.
When you are through baking, simply unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet to turn the baker off and leave the baker open to
allow it to cool. After it has cooled, brush any crumbs from the
grooves and wipe off the grids with a dry paper towel to absorb
any excess margarine or shortening.
CLEANING AND CARE
A few easy steps to keeping your Krumkake Baker looking and
working like new:
1. Always allow the baker to cool before cleaning and always un-
plug it from the wall outlet. There is no need to disassemble the
baker for cleaning. Never immerse the baker in water.
2. To clean the cooking grids, just wipe thoroughly with a pa-
per towel, absorbing any oil or butter that might be down in the
grooves of the cookie pattern. Do not use anything abrasive
that can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
3. 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 nish. Do not immerse in
water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.

RECIPIES
Please experiment with flavors and fruits in your recipes. If you use oils (such
as orange oil), use half as much as called for in your recipe (oils are stronger
than flavors and extracts). Make a set of cookies, let them cool and sample
them. If the flavor is not strong enough, put a bit more oil in, keep track and
make a note on the recipe when you find a balance you like.

KRUMKAKE RECIPE
4 Large eggs
1 ½ Cups all-purpose flour
1 Cup sugar
½ Cup butter/margarine, melted (1 stick)
2 Tablespoons corn starch
½ Teaspoon vanilla extract
½ Teaspoon cardamom seed
Beat eggs and sugar until light yellow. Add cooled melted butter, and vanilla and
cardamom seed. Sift flour and corn starch and add to egg mixture. Batter will
have a dough-like consistency. Use spoon to place on grid, or 1 inch round balls
can be formed to be placed on grid.
ALMOND KRUMKAKE
Omit vanilla and cardamom flavorings from the basic recipe. Add 1 tablespoon
almond extract or 2 tablespoons Amaretto. Add one cup of finely chopped or
ground almonds to the batter.

PIZZELLES
This iron can also be used to make very thin pizzelles.
3 Large eggs
¾ Cup sugar
2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Stick (1/2 cup) butter/margarine, melted and cooled
½ Teaspoon anise seed (optional)
1 ¾ Cups all-purpose flour
2 Teaspoons baking powder
Melt butter and set aside. Beat eggs and sugar until light yellow, 2-3 minutes.
Add melted butter and vanilla. Beat until blended. Sift together the flour, baking
powder and anise seed. Add half of this mixture to the wet ingredients, fold until
just blended, add remaining flour and fold again until just incorporated.
Heat pizzelle iron. Place about 1 Tablespoon of batter on grid, approximately
just behind the center of the pattern. Bake until golden brown, about 30 to 60
seconds. Remove and cool on a rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
