GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a 3-wire cord having a grounded plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounded wire can result in a risk of electrical shock. Consult a
qualified electrician if necessary. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, it should be positioned
such that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or
tripping over a long cord. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug.
a) Use only 3-wire extension cord with 3-blade grounding plug.
b) The marked rating of extension cord must be equal to or greater than rating of this appliance.
* Electrical rating is listed on the bottom of this unit and on Page 8. 3

Before Using for the First Time:
1. Carefully unpack making sure to keep all literature.
2. Read this instruction booklet completely before using and keep for future reference.
3. Wipe the exterior of the Waffle Maker with a clean, dry cloth to remove any packing dust.
How to Use Your Waffle Maker:
For best results, follow these simple instructions. When your Waffle Maker is used for the first
time, it may emit a slight odor and some smoke. This is normal with many appliances that heat up,
and does not affect the safety of your appliance. It may affect the flavor of the first set of waffles
cooked in your Waffle Maker, and it is recommended that you discard these.
1. Position the removable drip tray (5) underneath the waffle grids (1).
2. Lower the rotating handle (4) to close the lid of the Waffle Maker, and plug the cord into
the electrical outlet. Set the browning control dial (3) to your desired setting. We
recommend you start with setting #4. You may adjust it lower or higher according to your
preference. A lower setting produces a lighter-colored waffle, while waffles cooked at a
higher setting are darker and crisper. Different waffle batters will also cook differently.
With continued use you will find the ideal setting for the batter you are using.
3. The red indicator light will go on, indicating that the Waffle Maker is heating up. It will
take approximately 5 - 8 minutes to reach the optimal temperature.
4. Once the optimal temperature is reached, the green indicator light (2) will go on and the
Waffle Maker will beep six times, indicating that it is ready for cooking. Once the Waffle
Maker is heated for the first time, the cooking cycle times will be faster.
5. Prior to baking any waffles, lightly coat the top and bottom grids with vegetable oil using
a pastry brush. A light coating of non-stick cooking spray also works well.

6. Pour the batter evenly into the center of the bottom grid of the Waffle Maker. Use a heat-
resistant spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grid.
7. Close the lid of the Waffle Maker and rotate it 180º to the right (clockwise). Do not open
the lid for at least 1½ minutes. The red and green lights will remain on during the cooking
cycle.
8. Note: opening the lid too early will result in undercooked waffles that will split, making
them difficult to remove.
9. The Waffle Maker will beep three times, indicating that your waffles are ready, and both
the red and green lights will turn off. Rotate the Waffle Maker 180º to the left
(counterclockwise). If you want your waffles darker, close and rotate the lid, turn the
browning control dial to the OFF position then back to your desired setting, and continue
baking until your waffles are browned to your satisfaction. When done, turn the browning
control dial to the OFF position.
10. Remove waffles from the grid using a heat-resistant spatula. Never use metal utensils as
they may damage the non-stick coating.
11. If you will be baking additional batches, be sure to close the lid of the Waffle Maker to
retain heat. Once you are ready, turn the browning control dial to the desired setting.
Always be sure that the green indicator light goes on and you hear the six beeps again
before pouring batter into the bottom grid.
12. When finished, turn the browning control dial to the OFF position and unplug the cord
from the electrical outlet. Leave the Waffle Maker lid open to cool. Do not clean until the
Waffle Maker has cooled down completely.
Waffle Baking Tips:
ŸWhen preparing waffle batter do not over-mix or the waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until
large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
ŸThe optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle will vary depending on the batter.
Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge the right amount of batter to use. Fill
the bottom grid with enough batter to cover the peak areas of the grid (about ½ - ¾ cup of
batter). Do not overfill the grids or this will result in batter and steam seeping out between the
two grids.
ŸFor evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to the outer edge of the bottom grid using a
heat-resistant spatula.
ŸTo maintain waffle crispness, place baked waffles on a wire cooling rack to prevent moisture
from accumulating on the undersides. They may also be arranged on a metal cookie sheet and
kept warm in a 90º C oven.
ŸFor more perfectly shaped waffles, trim edges with kitchen scissors prior to serving.
ŸBaked waffles may be frozen.Allow them to cool completely, and then place them in a plastic
freezer storage bag. Use wax paper to separate the waffles. Reheat in an oven, toaster or
toaster oven when ready to eat.

Care and Maintenance:
ŸAlways unplug the Waffle Maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Never
disassemble the Waffle Maker. Never immerse the Waffle Maker in water or any other liquid, or
place it in the dishwasher.
ŸBrush away any loose crumbs between the channels of the grids. Wipe the grids with a paper
towel, and absorb any excess oil or butter that might be in the channels. You can also wipe the
grids with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the grids as this will damage the non-
stick coating.
ŸShould batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil onto the hardened batter.
Let it sit for five minutes to soften, then wipe off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
ŸWipe the exterior of the Waffle Maker with a damp cloth. Do not clean the exterior with
abrasive cleaners, a scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the stainless finish. A
small amount of stainless steel cleaner or polish may be used occasionally.
Sunset Cookware One Year Limited Warranty:
Sunset Cookware provides a one year, from date of original purchase, limited warranty against
defects due to faulty workmanship or materials on it’s line of small kitchen electric appliances. This
warranty is limited to the extent that it does not cover damages caused by neglect, abuse or
improper product use, including commercial use or any other use for which it was neither
designed nor intended. Please see the section in this manual on Use and Care for any questions
on it’s proper use. Further this warranty does not cover parts subject to normal wear or accidental
damage, such as the non-stick waffle grids.
Sunset Cookware also expressly disclaims any responsibility for consequential damages for any
incidental losses caused by the use of it’s products.
Any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose with respect to this product is
also limited to the one year limited warranty period. Some jurisdictions do not allow disclaimer of
the implied warranty with respect to consumer goods, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to
you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights which vary by jurisdiction.
If your product requires service or support, please send our Customer Service Department a fax

Waffle Making Tips:
Separating eggs in preparing waffle batter is important, because beaten egg whites make the
waffles puff up to perfection, keeping them light on the inside and slightly crunchy on the
outside. Be sure to incorporate the egg whites slowly into the batter.
Waffles are delicious served with any number of toppings, not just maple syrup. Try serving
some of the toppings to your family, friends, and house guests:
Suggested Waffle Toppings:
• Maple syrup • Fruit syrup • Fruit compote • Fresh berries, chopped fruit
• Broiled pineapple slices • Powdered sugar • Yogurt with fruit
• Whipped cream, ice cream, sorbet
