SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Merchandise for household use only.
No user-serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards
resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.
An extension cord may be used with care; however, the
marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord should
not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using for the first time, the baking surfaces should be
cleaned with a moist cloth. We recommend lightly greasing
the baking surfaces when using for the first time. This will
not be necessary on subsequent occasions. The first two or
three waffles should not be eaten.

HOW TO MAKE WAFFLES
1. Insert the plug into a standard electrical outlet. Make
sure that the voltage to be used agrees with the rated
voltage of your appliance.
2. Close the waffle maker and prepare batter while it is
pre-heating.
3. The red light will illuminate when the plug is inserted into
the outlet. It will shut off when the waffle maker is
ready for baking.
4. Open the appliance and pour ( approximately ¾ cup)
sufficient batter onto the center of the lower baking grid.
Close the appliance carefully. Do not force shut. Steam
may be ejected from between the grids.
Note: Care must be taken to ensure that fingers do not
come into contact with the grids. The surface will be
hot.
During baking, the red light will cycle on and off
while the thermostat keeps the waffle maker at
the correct temperature.
Bake only with baking grids closed.
5. Adjust the control slider on the front of the maker to the
right to make darker, crispier waffles, adjust to the left to
make lighter, softer waffles and keep to the center for an
overall even bake. ( See cooking chart on page 5)

6. Your waffle will typically bake in 4-5 minutes. You may
need to adjust the baking time to suit your
personal taste. When baking is finished, open the waffle
baker and remove the waffle with a plastic or wooden
spatula. Never use metal utensils as this will damage
the non-stick coating.
7. The appliance should be kept closed in-between the
baking of successive waffles.
8. After use, remove the plug from the wall socket.
The red indicator light comes on when the waffle maker
is heating to reach the set temperature. For best results,
wait until the indicator light goes out before adding the
waffle batter. This means the waffle maker has reached
the perfect temperature.
WARNING: Whenever the unit is plugged in the surfaces
will be hot even if the indicator light is not illuminated.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. Always preheat the waffle maker before adding batter.
Plug the waffle maker in first, and prepare the batter
while the waffle maker is heating.
2. If the lid resists lifting, allow the waffle to bake a little
longer, then try lifting the lid again.
3. If the waffles stick to the top cooking plates, remove
them with a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal
utensils.
4. Let waffles cool slightly before eating to avoid possible
burns.
5. Top baked waffles with different fruits or ice cream to
create your own specialties.
