risk of re, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use any handles or knobs. Parts become hot during use.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not place cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid.
4. This appliance should not be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is operated near children.

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use
any other electrical outlet.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR
STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk 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,
1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) The 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 unintentionally.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it rmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be
serviced and the line cord replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undo stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and
cause it to fray and break.

IMPORTANT
During the rst few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will
not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.
For your safety, always read and understand the Use and Care Manual before attempting to use any electric appliance.
BEFORE USING:
1. Carefully unpack the wafe maker. Remove all packaging materials, including those which may be inside the product.
2. Wipe exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust particles collected during packing and handling. Dry thoroughly. Do
not use abrasive cleaners. Clean the interior with a warm, soapy cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. NEVER
IMMERSE THE PRODUCT, CORD OR PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
Solid surface countertops can be easily scratched, cracked, scorched, or damaged, especially when exposed to heat. To prevent
damage, the following precautions should be observed when using this product:
• Always use a trivet under heat generating sources such as Slow Cookers, Toaster Ovens, Skillets, etc.
• Do not place hot pans, pots, ceramic or stoneware inserts, etc. directly on the countertop surface.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the wafe maker on a at, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The light icon will illuminate.
3. Lightly glaze both cooking plates with a small amount of vegetable oil or a non-stick spray, close the lid and allow the wafe maker
to heat.
4. After approximately 3 to 5 minutes, the wafe maker has heated to the proper temperature and is ready for use.
5. Fill measuring cup with ¼ cup of batter. Fill one of the cooking reservoirs with a thin layer of batter, poured from the measuring cup.
If using sticks, place 1 stick on each wafe, aligning stick in the notch on the side of the nonstick plate. Pour remaining batter over
the top of the stick covering all exposed portions of the stick. Repeat in each of the cooking reservoirs.

6
6. Close the lid. Approximate cooking time will be 3 to 6 minutes, depending on ingredients.
7. Remove nished wafes from the cooking plates with a heat-resistant plastic utensil (non-metallic). Use CAUTION when handling
the wafes, as they will be HOT. Allow wafes to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
8. Unplug the power cord and allow the wafe maker to cool before moving, cleaning or storing.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. Any servicing that
requires disassembly, other than cleaning, must be performed by a qualied appliance repair technician.
TO CLEAN:
Be sure the wafe maker is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
Wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Do not put cord or plug in water or other
liquids.
Clean the interior with a warm, soapy cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh
chemicals. Do not use sharp or metal objects to clean as they may damage the non-stick or other surfaces.
TIP: Should any batter become baked onto the wafe grids, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the batter. Allow it to soak for about
5 minutes so the batter will soften. Wipe away with a damp 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. Never store it while it is hot or wet.
Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled.
WAFFLE BAKING HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
• Coat the bottom of each Mickey-shaped cooking reservoir with a thin layer of batter, add the wooden stick, and cover with remaining
batter from provided measuring cup.

7
• The recommended amount of wafe batter for each cooking reservoir is approximately ¼ cup. Use caution not to overll the cooking
reservoirs as sticks may be pushed out due to excess batter expanding.
• After pouring batter into the cooking reservoirs, try not to check the wafes during the rst few minutes. Opening the lid, may cause
the wafe to separate before it is cooked.
• Close the wafe maker lid immediately after removing a wafe to maintain the proper cooking temperature for additional wafes.
• Baked wafes will accumulate steam between them and lose their crispness if stacked or cooled on a solid surface. For best results,
move wafes to a wire cooling rack and do not stack.
• Finished wafes may be kept warm by placing them directly on the rack in a 200°F oven for up to 15 minutes.
• Wafes may also be warmed or reheated by placing them into the preheated wafe maker for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Baked wafes freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container, separating wafes with
wax paper. Reheat frozen wafes until hot and crisp.
• Refrigerated batter may need some water or milk added to the mixture, as cold batter can thicken. Cold batter may also require a
longer cooking time to reach the desired doneness. For best results, it is recommended to use room temperature batter.
• When preparing the wafe batter, do not over-mix it or the wafe will become tough and heavy. A few lumps in the batter are OK.
• If batter sticks to nonstick cooking surface, lightly coat the surface with butter or margarine.
• For some added fun, try coating wafes in melted chocolate or white chocolate and then dipping them in sprinkles or topping with
candy or nuts.
