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 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 follow 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 possible
damage, consider using a trivet under this appliance.
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. This appliance should always be operated on a separate 120V ~ 60 Hz wall
outlet to ensure that the electrical circuit is not overloaded.
3. Set the power switch to the ON position. The power switch will illuminate and the ready indicator lights will blink once.
4. Turn the browning control dial to the desired setting between LIGHT and DARK. The appliance will heat to the operating temperature
of the selected browning level. Once the operating temperature has been reached, the appliance will beep 6 times and the ready
indicator lights will turn on. The heating time is approximately 3-5 minutes depending on ingredients. CAUTION: Do not touch the
wafe plates or any metal surfaces. Surfaces are hot.
5. Unlock the latch by pulling it towards you and lift the lid by the handle to the fully opened position. If desired, apply a coating of
cooking spray or oil on the wafe plates. NOTE: Latch must be in unlocked position to open lid.

6. Using a measuring cup, start by pouring batter at the center of each character icon reservoir in the lower wafe plate and allow it to
evenly spread outward. Do not overll as any excess batter may leak from the sides of the wafe plates.
7. Close the lid by the handle and lock the latch by pushing it towards the appliance. Make sure the wafe plates cannot be opened.
8. Rotate the handle and wafe plates clockwise 180˚. The ready indicator light will turn off while the unit starts baking the wafes of
the top plate.
9. In order to cook more wafes using the bottom plate, unlock the latch and lift the red lower lid upward by the handle. Follow step #6
for the wafes of the bottom plate.
10. Close the lid and lock the latch again by pushing it toward the appliance. Make sure neither of the wafe plates can be opened.
11. Rotate the handle and wafe plates counter-clockwise 180˚ to place the lower lid at the original position. The ready indicator light will
turn off while the wafe of the bottom plate is baking.
NOTE: During the cooking process, both ready indicator lights will remain off. Wafes take approximately 3-5 minutes, depending on the
recipe or browning preference. As a general rule, when no steam is emitted between the wafe plates, then the wafe is fully cooked.
12. When wafes are nished, the ready indicator light will illuminate and the appliance will beep 3 times.
13. Carefully lift the lid by the handle and remove the wafes using a heat resistent plastic or wooden utensil. Never use metal utensils,
as these will damage the nonstick coating. Use CAUTION when handling the wafes, as they will be HOT. Allow wafes to cool for
a few minutes before enjoying.
14. Once the wafes of the bottom plate are nished, lower the lid by the handle, engage the lock, rotate the plates 180˚, lift the plate by
the handle and remove the wafes from the other side.
15. After removing the wafes, repeat previous steps to bake more wafes.
16. When nished using the appliance, turn the browning control dial to the lowest setting and set the power switch to the OFF position.
The power indicator and ready indicator lights will switch off. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
17. Allow the appliance to cool down completely 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 submerge cord, plug, or appliance 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. Clean appliance after every use.
TIP: Should any batter become baked onto the character icon plates, 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. Never
wrap cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled.
WAFFLE BAKING HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
• When preparing the wafe batter, do not over-mix it or the wafes will become tough and heavy. A few lumps in the batter are OK.
• 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.
• Most wafe batter can be poured directly onto the nonstick wafe plates. Use a cooking spray for dessert wafes or any recipe with
a lot of sugar. Dessert wafes will be more fragile and need extra care in removing them from the wafe maker. If your wafes start
to stick, the wafe plates may need to be scrubbed with a nylon brush to remove any cooked-on food particles.
• For evenly shaped wafes, pour the batter into the center of each character icon reservoir and spread the batter to the edges. Use a
heat-proof rubber spatula or the bottom of a non-metallic ladle or non-metallic spoon.
• Do not overll. Use a pitcher or measuring cup to pour the batter rather than a ladle or spoon.
• Close the wafe maker lid immediately after removing a wafe to maintain the proper cooking temperature for additional wafes.
• Most wafes are done in approximately 3-6 minutes. Recipes made from scratch may take longer. Check if wafes are done after

9
about 5 minutes or once steam is no longer being emitted from the appliance. If the appliance does not open easily, allow wafes to
cook for another minute before checking again.
• 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 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 an air-tight container, separating wafes
with wax paper. Reheat frozen wafes until hot and crisp.
