IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Waffle Baker Safety
When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do
not immerse cord, plug or cooking unit in
water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
Call our toll-free customer service
number for information on examination,
electrical repair, mechanical repair or
adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including the stove.
Consumer Safety Information
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, remove plug from wall
outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
14. Do not use appliance unattended.
15. When using this appliance, provide
4 to 6 inches air space above, behind
and on both sides for air circulation. Do
not use on surfaces where heat may
cause a problem.
16. Make sure that neither the cord nor
yourself touch any hot part of the
appliance due to danger of burning.
17. Place the appliance only on a dry and
level surface.
18. Never remove the waffle with any kind
of cutting device or other metallic
kitchen utensil.
19. Always allow the appliance to cool
down completely before putting it away
and never wind the cord around the
appliance while it is still hot.
20. Do not immerse.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit with the waffle baker.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-
type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug will
only fit into an electrical outlet made for a
3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the
plug should fail to fit, contact an electrician
to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.
This appliance has a short cord to reduce
the hazards of becoming entangled or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension
cord may be used if the electrical rating is
equal to or greater than the rating of the
waffle baker. An extension cord rated at
least 13 amperes may be used. Care must
be taken to arrange the extension cord so
that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.

How to Use
BEFORE FIRST USE: Wipe the bottom and top cooking grids with a soapy damp
cloth. Rinse cloth then wipe grids again.
1. Plug cord into electrical outlet. The
light will glow. Select setting.
2. Preheat with cover closed until light
goes out.
3. Raise cover and pour about 3⁄4cup
batter onto center of cooking grid.
Lower cover.
4. Waffles are done in about 5 minutes,
depending on recipe.
5. Unplug unit when through cooking.
Control Switch and Indicator Light
The Control Switch offers settings from
1 to 5. Select the setting preferred to
cook waffles to desired doneness.
Setting 1 should be used to keep a
waffle warm or to re-heat an already
cooked waffle.
The red Indicator Light comes on when
the waffle baker 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 baker has reached the
perfect temperature.

Recipes
Homemade waffle batter may take
longer to cook than packaged pancake
and waffle mix. The packaged mix
waffles are done in about 5 minutes.
Made from scratch recipes take a
few minutes more.
For most recipes there is no need to
grease the nonstick surface.
Waffle Baker Tips!
• The Belgian waffle grid holds more batter
than a traditional grid. These recipes give
a range of batter to use, for example,
2
⁄ 3
to
3
⁄ 4 cup. The larger amount should be
used for a Belgian waffle grid.
• Waffles can be frozen and then reheated.
Make a large batch ahead of time and let
cool on a cooling rack. Freeze in airtight
storage bags then heat in an oven or
microwave.
