IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
b.The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled on by
children.
ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG
This unit has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, the plug is intended to
be used by inserting it into the electrical
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
securely into the outlet, reverse the plug
and re-insert. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician for assistance. Do not
modify the plug in any way.

1. Remove all packaging material and all stickers and labels.
2. Wipe the inside and outside of the unit with a moist cloth.
3. Ensure that the baking plates are clean.
NOTE: During the first few use, there may be a “hot plastic” smell. This

the first time. Heating the wae maker once without any food inside for
about 10 minutes is recommend. Ensure the room is properly ventilated
during the first use.

WAFFLE MAKING TIPS
WAFFLE MAKING TIPS
• On the temperature control knob, lowest setting = lighter waes
and highest setting = darker waes.
• To keep the waes crispy, put the finished waes on a metal rack
and wait for them to cool down a bit. This will prevent the bottoms
from becoming soggy.
• Once the waes have cooled on a metal rack, they can be frozen.
Place them in a freezer bag or in an airtight container with wax
paper in between each wae.
• When making a large quantity of waes, set the oven to 200° F
and put the baked waes in the oven to keep them warm.
• A cold wae can be placed back into the wae maker for 1-2
minutes to warm it up and make it crispy.
