HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
Smoking
During rst use, you may notice slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal
with most new appliances. The smoking and odor is caused by the residues
burning o the nonstick Cooking Plates and the Heating Element. Allow
the appliance to preheat until smoke and odor no longer exists.
Nonstick Cooking Plates
Each time you use your WAFFLE & FRENCH TOAST STICK MAKER, it is recommended
that you coat the Cooking Plates lightly with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil can be applied with a paper towel or with a nonstick oil spray.

• Traditional White

When making French toast sticks, cut your desired bread into 1¼-inch wide by 4¼-inch
long sticks. Insert the Bamboo Stick length-wise into the bread, then dip into your batter.

toast sticks without using the included Bamboo Sticks.
