IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the
appliance’s rating label.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or cooking unit in
water or any other liquid.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
4. This appliance should not be used by children.
5. Extreme caution must be exercised when any appliance is used near children.
6. Unplug from wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning
or storing this appliance.
7. Never yank the cord to disconnect the cooking unit from the outlet. Instead, grasp the plug
and pull to disconnect.
8. Do not operate any appliance if the cord is damaged. Do not use this appliance if the unit
malfunctions, if it is dropped or has been damaged in any manner. In order to avoid the
risk of an electric shock, never try to repair the Waffle Maker by yourself. Call our toll-free
number for returning, or replacing the product.
9. The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause
fire, electrical shock or injury.
10. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
11. Do not use this appliance for purposes other than the one for which it was designed.
12. Do not let the electrical cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop, or touch hot
surfaces.
13. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or heated oven.
14. Use on a heat-resistant, flat level surface only.

liquids.
16. To disconnect, remove plug from outlet.
17. Always unplug after use. The appliance will remain on unless unplugged.
18. CAUTION: This appliance generates heat during use. Proper precautions must be taken
to prevent the risk of burns, fire or other damage to persons or property.

POLARIZED PLUG AND SHORT CORD CONSTRUCTION
This appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, as a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not insert fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still fails to fit,
contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOTATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If
an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

HOW TO USE
FOR BEST RESULTS, FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS.
When your waffle maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is
normal with many heating appliances. This 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 that you discard these.
PREPARING THE WAFFLE MAKER
1. Pre-heat the waffle maker by setting the temperature control to the maximum setting.
2. Close the waffle maker and plug it into the wall outlet, you will notice that the red power
light will go on, indicating that the waffle maker has begun preheating.
3. It will take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking temperature. The red power light
will remain on until you unplug your waffle maker. When the green light goes on, the waffle
maker is ready for use.
4. Set the Waffle Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting in the
middle. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference. A lower
setting produces a lighter colored waffle, while waffles made at a higher setting 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.
5. Before baking the first waffles of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top and
bottom waffle grids with vegetable oil. Alight coating of non-stick cooking spray also works
well.
BAKING
1. When the proper baking temperature is reached, the green light will go on. Once heated
up, cycle times will be faster.
2. Pour batter onto bottom grid of waffle maker. Ladle just enough batter to fill lower grid so
that the peak area of the grid is covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter in
to the corners of the grid.At this point the green light will go off as the baking cycle begins.
3. Close waffle maker and rotate unit 180° to the right (clockwise). Do not open for at least
1½ minutes. Opening the lid too soon will cause under-baked waffles to split, making them
difficult to remove.
4. When the green light goes on again, rotate waffle maker 180 degree to the left
(counterclockwise). Your waffles should be done according to the Waffle Temperature
Control setting that you’ve chosen. If you want them darker, close the lid and continue
baking until the desired color is achieved.
5. Remove waffles from the grid using non-metallic utensils.
6. If additional baking is to be done, close waffle maker to retain heat. Always be sure the
green light goes on again before making more waffles.
7. If you need to take a short break, close waffle maker to maintain heat. When you return to
baking, you will notice that the first waffles will bake faster because extra heat has been
allowed to build up.
8. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or near children.
9. When baking is complete, unplug the power cord from wall outlet. Leave waffle maker

open to cool. Do not clean until unit has cooled.
WAFFLE BAKING TIPS
1. When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix 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 lid.
4. Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are tenderer 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 support waffles when
removing from the waffle maker.
5. To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam from
accumulating 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, watching 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 CARE
1. Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it 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 any loose crumbs from the grooves. Wipe grids clean with a paper towel,
absorbing any oil or butter that might be down 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.Alittle metal polish
suitable for stainless steel may be used occasionally on the top housing. Do not immerse
in water or any other liquid.
4. Do not place in the dishwasher.
5. Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil onto the
hardened batter. Let sit 5 minutes to soften batter, and then wipe off with a paper towel or
soft cloth.
6. Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles, they can damage the non-stick surface.
