SHORT CORD PURPOSE
NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.
POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other),
please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not
alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Read all instructions and important safeguards.
Carefully unpack the Belgian Waffle Maker and remove all packaging and materials.
Clean the baking plates with a damp cloth or sponge.
Slightly grease the baking plates with a little cooking oil.
CAUTION: Take care to prevent water from running into the appliance.
NEVER IMMERSE THE HEATING BODY OF THE BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUIDS!
HOW TO USE YOUR WAFFLE MAKER
For the best results, follow these simple instructions.
Note: When your waffle maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or
odor. This is normal with many heating appliances and does not affect the safety of your
appliance. However, it may affect the flavor of the first set of waffles prepared in your
waffle maker, and it is recommended to discard these.
Preparing for use
Close the waffle maker and plug it into the wall outlet, you will notice that the Red Power
Light will go on. Turn the temperature control knob to your desired setting, the Green
Ready Light will go on. It will take approximately 3 to 5 minutes to reach baking
temperature. When the Green Ready Light turns off, the waffle maker is ready to cook!
1. Set the Waffle Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting
between 6 - MAX. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your
preference. Settings 2 - 6 produce a lighter colored waffle, while waffles made at 8 -
MAX are darker and crisper. Different waffle batters will also cook up differently.
Over time, you will find your perfect setting for the batter you use.
2. Before baking the first waffles of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top
and bottom waffle grids with vegetable oil. A light coating of non-stick cooking
spray will also work.
3. When the proper baking temperature is reached, the green light will turn off. Once
heated up, cycle times will be quicker.
4. Pour batter onto the bottom grid of waffle maker. Ladle just enough batter to fill the
lower grid so that the peak area of the grid is covered. If necessary, use a spatula to
spread the batter into the corners of the grid.
5. Close cover. It is normal for a small amount of batter to run over and down the sides.
If an excessive amount of batter runs over, use less batter.
6. Cover will rise slightly as waffles begin to bake. Do not open cover while steam is
escaping. Most waffle recipes bake in approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
7. When waffles are done, remove with a non-metallic utensil so as not to scratch the
non-stick finish.
NOTE: The green light will turn on and off while cooking. This indicates the thermostat
is maintaining its temperature.

HOW TO USE YOUR WAFFLE MAKER (cont.)
WAFFLE BAKING TIPS
1. When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix the batter or waffles will be tough.
Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
2. The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing,
will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help
you gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid of waffle maker with
enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid about ¾ to 1 cup.
3. For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer edge of grid, using a
heat proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before closing the lid.
4. Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more tender than regular
waffles, and may require more care when removing from waffle maker. You may
want to break these waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use a spatula
to help lift waffles when removing from the waffle maker.
5. To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam
from building up underneath.
6. When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot and crisp by placing on a
rack in a preheated 200°F oven until ready to serve.
7. Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped, individually, by returning
to hot waffle maker. Set Waffle Temperature Control to low. Place waffle on grid so
grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes; watch carefully to prevent
burning.
8. Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer bag
or in covered container, separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles in
toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Unplug from electric outlet and allow to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
1. Always unplug waffle maker and allow to cool before cleaning. There is no need to
disassemble the waffle maker for cleaning. Never immerse the waffle maker in
water or place in dishwasher.
2. Brush away loose crumbs from the grooves. Wipe grids clean with a paper towel,
absorbing any oil or butter that may have accumulated in the grooves of the grid.
You can also wipe grids with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive that can
scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
3. Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only. Do not clean the
outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish.
A little metal polish suitable for stainless steel may be used occasionally on the top
housing. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not place in the
dishwasher.
4. Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil onto the
hardened batter. Let sit 5 minutes to soften batter, then wipe off with a paper towel
or soft cloth.
5. Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles, they can damage the non-stick
surface.
6. Store in closed position. Unit stands on end for convenient storage. Use cord wrap
on the bottom of unit for cord storage.
