IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock do not immerse power unit in water or
other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on of taking off parts and
before cleaning.
5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after appliance malfunc-
tions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact Rival®Consumer Service
(see warranty) to return for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjust-
ment.
6. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Rival®may cause fire, electri-
cal shock or injury.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
9. Do not let cord contact hot surface, including stove.
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to
service product. Power unit never needs lubrication.
A short-power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or trip-
ping ober a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked electrical
rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the waffle maker. The extension cord
should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over intentionally.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety fea-
ture, this plug will fit in 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 defeat this safety feature.

• Raise top of unit to vertical position and pour approximately 3/4 cup of batter evenly over the
grids. Close unit.
• Waffles are done when steam stops escaping from unit (approximately 5 minutes)
NOTE: Do not lift lid while waffles are steaming. This may cause them to stick or separate.
• For darker, crispier waffles, allow them to bake for 1 or 2 extra minutes.

water. Rinse well and dry.
