Polarized Plug
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords should not be
used with this appliance.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be the
same type 3-wire.
• The longer power 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.
PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the countertop
or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coaster or placemats between
the appliance and the finish of the countertop or tabletop. Failure to do so may
cause the nish to darken. Permanent blemishes may occur or stains can
appear.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.

CAUTION: Risk of suffocation - keep all packaging and plastic bags out of the
reach of children.
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Clean the baking plates with a damp cloth or sponge.
3. Use a damp cloth to wipe down only the outside of the housing unit. Do NOT
use an abrasive scouring pad or steel wool as this could damage the finish.
NOTE: Prior to first use and in a well ventilated area, heat the waffle maker without
batter for ten minutes. You may notice smoke or a slight odor. This is normal with
most new appliances.
WARNING: Do NOT immerse the wafe maker in water or other liquid.
1. Plug the waffle maker into the wall outlet; the red power light will illuminate.
2. With the appliance closed, turn the temperature control knob to your desired
setting - minimum to maximum (hottest). A lower setting produces a lighter-
colored waffle, while waffles made at a higher setting are darker and crispier.
Different waffle batters will also cook differently.
3. When the green ready light illuminates, the desired temperature has been
reached. Before baking the first batch of waffles, spray a light coating of
nonstick cooking spray, or use a pastry brush with vegetable oil to lightly coat
the top and bottom baking plates.
4. Ladle batter onto the middle of the bottom plates of waffle maker. Spread
evenly but do not go to the edges. Waffles will expand as the batter bakes.
5. Close waffle maker. 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.
6. When the green light is fully illuminated and no longer blinking, remove waffles.
If you want darker/crispier waffles, close the lid and continue cooking until the
desired color is achieved.
7. Remove waffles from the grid using non-metallic utensils.
8. Close waffle maker to retain heat until you are ready to make the next batch.
Always be sure the green light goes on again before making more waffles.
9. When cooking is complete, unplug the power cord from wall outlet. Leave
waffle maker open to cool. Do NOT move or clean until unit has cooled.
Cleaning & Care
This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Do NOT try to repair it yourself.
If your appliance is damaged or does not operate, please call customer service to
repair or replace it.
PRECAUTIONS:
• Always unplug unit and allow to cool before cleaning.
• Do NOT use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the nonstick coating.
• NEVER IMMERSE THE HOUSING UNIT IN WATER OR PUT IN DISHWASHER.
1. Brush away any loose crumbs from the grooves.
2. Wipe baking plates with a paper towel or soft cloth, absorbing any oil that
might be in the grooves. Never use anything abrasive that can scratch or
damage the nonstick coating.
3. Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only. Do not clean the
outside with an abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the
finish.
4. Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil on
to the hardened batter. Let sit 5 minutes to soften batter then wipe off with a
paper towel or soft cloth.
TO STORE:
Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store appliance in its box or in a
clean, dry place free from sharp objects. NEVER store it while it is hot or wet.

Recipes
• When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix, or waffles will be tough. Stir batter
only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
• 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.
• Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles, are more tender than regular
waffles and may require more care when removing from the waffle maker. Use a
spatula to support waffles when removing from the waffle maker.
• To retain crispness, move waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam from
accumulating underneath.
• 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.
• Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped by returning to hot
waffle maker. Set the Temperature Control to minimum setting. Place waffle on
baking plate so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching
carefully to prevent burning.
• 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 an oven, toaster oven or regular toaster until hot and crisp.
