Close unit and plug into outlet. Use only voltage specified on bottom
of unit. The On light (Red) and the Ready light (Green) will come on.
CAUTION: Touch unit only by handles during use or directly after use.
Take care not to touch hot surfaces.
The unit is ready for use when the Ready light goes
out. The unit is ready for use after approximately 5
minutes on the lowest setting and 7 minutes in the
highest setting.
Open unit, pour approximately 3/4 cup waffle batter
onto grids. For best results, pour batter in a circle
around outer edge of waffle maker (see illustration).
Close cover. It is very typical to have a small amount
of batter run over grid and down unit, which is why
we have desisigened a drip tray for this waffle maker.
However, if an excessive amount of batter runs over, use less batter.
Cover will rise slightly as waffles begin’to bake. Do not open cover while
steam is escaping. Most waffle recipes bake in approximately 5 minutes on
the low setting, 4 l/2 minutes on the medium setting and 4 minutes on the
high setting. Waffles are generally done when steam no longer escapes from
sides and front of unit.
When waffles are done, remove with a fork or wooden tongs.
NOTE: The Ready
light may cycle on and off during cooking. This indicates the thermostat is
maintaining the unit at the proper cooking temperature.
Close Cover and wait for Signal/On light to go out before preparing
another batch of waffles.
1. Unplug and allow unit to cool before cleaning.
2. Clean waffle grids with cloth or sponge dampened with hot, soapy water. DO NOT
IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER. Rinse with dampened cloth or sponge and wipe dry.
3. To remove cooked-on foods, use a nylon scrub pad or non-abrasive cleanser. A
steel wool pad or abrasive cleansers will damage the non-stick surface.
4. Store in closed position. Unit
stands on end for convenient storage. Use cord
wrap on the bottom of the unit for cord storage.
5. Any servicing required should be performed only by an authorized service facility.
6. This appliance is for household use only.
