To unplug, grasp the plug and pull it from the electrical outlet. Never pull the cord.
:::The device must not be operated via an external timer or remote control.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTES ON THE PLUG
For safety reasons, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug can only be inserted one way into the electrical outlet. If the
plug does not fit correctly into the outlet, reverse the plug and insert into the outlet. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for further assistance. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.
NOTES ON THE CORD
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
IF AN EXTENSION CORD IS USED:
:::The marked electrical rating of the 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 a grounding type 3-wire cord.
:::The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the appliance may not operate properly.
It should be plugged into a separate electrical circuit.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1- Read all instructions and important safeguards..
2- Remove all packaging materials and ensure that all items have been received in good condition.
3- Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4-Do not plug the appliance into an electrical outlet before it is ready to be used.
5- Wipe the appliance with a soft damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. NEVER IMMERSE the appliance,
the power cord, or the power plug in water or any liquid.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads or any other object that could scratch.
USING THE MINI WAFFLE MAKER
During first use of the appliance, smoke and/or a slight odour may occur from the appliance
because of the initial warming process of the materials. This is normal and will quickly disappear.
It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.
CAUTION: Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use the cool touch handle of the product.
Use protective oven mitts or gloves to avoid burns or serious personal injury.
1- Place the appliance on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
2- For optimal results, lightly coat the plates with oil or butter.
3- Plug the power cord into a standard 120-volt AC electrical outlet. The red power light will
illuminate while preheating. Keep the lid closed while preheating.
4-When the appliance has reached baking temperature, the light will extinguish. Open the lid to
pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter onto the bottom plate.
NOTE: Do not overfill as the batter will seep out over the edge.
5- Close the lid to bake. Steam will escape during the baking process; use caution to avoid
burning hands.
NOTE: DO NOT lock the cover during the cooking process.
NOTE: The red preheat light may cycle on and o during cooking. This is normal and it indicates
that the appliance is maintaining the cooking temperature.
6-When escaping steam has diminished, it is an indication that the lid can be opened to inspect
readiness. Once the wae is done, use a utensil to remove it. NEVER use metal utensils such
as forks or knives with this appliance, as they will scratch the non-stick surface. Only use
nylon, wooden, or silicone cooking utensils.
7- Repeat steps 1-6 for additional batches. Lower the lid in between batches to maintain the heat.
8- When baking is complete, unplug the appliance and let cool.
