SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Other Consumer Safety Information
This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Use two premeasured scoops for
the perfect amount of batter. Deep grids leave room for
waffles to rise while baking. Extra-deep overflow channel
gives excess batter a place to go,
if more batter is used or fruits are
added.

How to Use Waffle Grids
1 2 3
Plug cord into wall outlet.
The red Power ON light will glow.
TIP: A small amount of nonstick
cooking spray can be used on the
grids before preheating.
Choose desired waffle temperature
setting and preheat with cover
closed until the green READY
light comes on.
TIP: Waffle color and crispness
are determined by the
temperature of the grids. The
higher the temperature, the
browner and crisper the waffle.
Raise cover and pour two FULL
premeasured scoops of batter
onto center of bottom cooking
grid. Lower cover.
BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash grids in dishwasher or in hot, soapy
water. Rinse and dry. Wipe or brush waffle grids with vegetable
oil. This is only recommended before first use, but may be
necessary afterwards.

Waffles are done in about 6 to
8 minutes, depending on the
setting, recipe, when the green
READY light turns back on, or
when steaming begins to stop.
Do not preheat or operate unit
unless grids are in place.
Using an oven mitt, open cover. Remove waffle with plastic or
wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick
coating of the appliance. Turn control to “MIN.” Unplug unit when
through cooking. Let cool.
WARNING! Burn Hazard.
Always use an oven mitt to protect hand
when opening a hot waffle maker. Escaping steam can burn.

Usage Tips
• To make your family a quick, hot breakfast, use any of the waffle
mixes currently available on the market.
• Use a cooking spray before pouring batter into the grids, especially
for dessert waffles or recipes with a lot of sugar.
• If your waffles start to stick, the grids may need to be scrubbed with
a nylon brush to remove any cooked-on food particles.
• If using nuts in waffle batter, use chopped nuts and/or evenly
spread batter to allow lid to fully close.
• Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200ºF
(93ºC) oven.
• Reheat in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or a regular oven.
• Most waffles are done in about 6–8 minutes, depending on the
setting selected. Some of the recipes which are made from scratch
may take a little longer. Check for doneness at about 5 minutes.
If the cover of the waffle maker doesn’t lift up easily, then let the
waffle cook a minute more before checking again. Another indicator
that the waffle is done is when the green READY light comes on or
when the steaming slows or stops.
• To store, let waffles cool and pack in an airtight container; store in
refrigerator or freezer for reheating later.
IF YOU LIVE IN A HIGH-ALTITUDE AREA:
The Extension service will have detailed information about cooking
for your area. To locate the Cooperative Extension service in your
county, please visit: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/.
