Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Check that the voltage in your home corresponds to the one stated on the rating plate of the
appliance, before using the appliance.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs and wear oven mitts.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or the appliance in water or
other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children. Children need
to be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
This product is not intended for use by children, by persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lacking experience or knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the product, by a person responsible for their
safety. Extra caution is always necessary when using this product.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning or
storing the appliance away.
To disconnect the appliance, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions
or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the manufacturer’s authorized
service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may
cause injuries, fire or electric shock.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
Do not use the appliance for other than intended use, which is making waffles.
When using this appliance, provide adequate airspace above and on all sides for air circulation.
On surfaces where heat may cause a problem, an insulated hot pad is recommended.
Do not leave unit unattended during use.
Always use the product on a clean, flat, hard, dry and heat resistant surface. There should be
no material such as a tablecloth or plastic between the unit and surface. A fire may occur if
the waffle maker is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies,
walls, and the like, when in operation.
It is absolutely necessary to keep this appliance clean at all times as it comes into direct
contact with food.
Be careful not to scratch the non-stick coating of the cooking plate, as you might get little
pieces of this coating into the food. If scraping is necessary, unplug the appliance and use a
classical wooden spatula or a heat resistant plastic one.
The appliance shall not be operated using a separate timer or separate remote device.
For your safety, when in use, wear an oven mitt when opening and closing the lid.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled
in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the
electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Before the first use
Carefully unpack the waffle maker and remove all packaging.
When using for the first time, wipe the surface of the grids with a damp cloth, then wipe dry.
Place the appliance on a heat resistant surface. Make sure the appliance is closed, plug the appliance
in and let it preheat.
The protective coating burn off might result in smoke and a slight odor on first use. However, this does
not indicate any defect of the appliance. After about 30 seconds the smoke will disappear and you will
be able to use the appliance normally. This smoke is NOT harmful.

Operation
Place on a heat resistant surface. Make sure the appliance is closed, plug the appliance in and let it preheat.
The red power light (2) and the green Ready light (3) will come on, to indicate that the appliance is plugged
in and that it is heating.
Set the thermostat to the desired setting (turning the dial (1) all the way clockwise being the hottest setting).
The green temperature pilot light (3) will stay on, to indicate the appliance is warming up. When the green
pilot light goes off, it means that the desired temperature is reached.
Note: During cooking, the green light will go on and off. It is normal and indicates a proper function of the
thermostat regulating the temperature of the appliance.
Caution: during the operation, the appliance becomes hot. Be careful as you might get burned. Please only use
the handle to manipulate the appliance. Wear oven mitts. Avoid touching the housing and never touch the cooking
plates with your bare hands.
Wearing oven mitts, open the waffle maker and lightly brush the grids with some butter, margarine or
cooking oil. The use of a non-stick oil cooking spray is recommended for best results.
Pour the batter evenly into the bottom plate, but not all the way to the edges, and close the appliance.
Note: the batter will expand during cooking, so adding too much batter might result in the batter overflowing
from the grids.
Press the lid down for a moment to spread the batter evenly on the baking plate.
Note: Some steam might be produced from between the plates; make sure that fingers do not come into
contact with it.
Bake the waffle until golden brown. If necessary, adjust the temperature by turning the thermostat according
to the desired browning level or crispiness you wish to obtain.
When the waffles are ready, wearing oven mitts, open the lid of the waffle maker and remove the waffle with
a plastic or wooden spatula, or by inserting a fork from the sides of the waffle. Never use any sharp metallic
objects, as this might damage the non-stick coating. Do not use your bare hands to avoid scalding.
The shape of the waffle makes it easy to separate into 4 portions if desired.
When baking is finished, unplug the appliance and leave it open to allow it to cool down.
Note: It is easy to reheat a waffle. Just place it back into the grids still warm, and select a medium heat to
reheat, or minimum heat setting to keep the waffle warm.
!! TO AVOID SCALDING, WAIT UNTIL THE APPLIANCE HAS TOTALLY COOLED DOWN BEFORE CLEANING
OR STORING AWAY.

Before cleaning, unplug and wait for the appliance and the plates to cool down completely.
Wipe the housing with a slightly moistened cloth or paper towel.
To clean the plates, wipe the plates with a damp cloth or towel. A little dish soap can be used if
rinsed well afterwards, using a damp cloth or paper towel.
Wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Should any cooking residue be difficult to remove, we recommend pouring a bit of cooking oil onto
the surface and wipe it off, after the residue has softened.
Do not clean the body or the plates with any abrasive product or powders, scouring pad or steel wool,
as this will damage the finish of the appliance.
Do NOT immerse in water or any other liquid.
Do NOT place the waffle maker under running water.
Note: you can wrap the power cord around the hook situated underneath the appliance (cord
storage), for storing the waffle maker neatly or if the cord is too long.
Combine the flour with the baking soda, salt, and sugar,
If using, in a bowl and make a well in the center.
Add the egg yolk and milk, and gradually, work into the flour using a whisk.
Beat gently until smooth.
Carefully stir in the melted butter.
In a bowl, whisk the egg white until firm and carefully fold into the batter using a large
metal spoon.
