IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using.

■ Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles only.

■ To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug,

or any other part of this wafflemaker in water or other liquid.

■ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

■ Unplug from outlet when not in use. Allow to cool before cleaning the

appliance.

■ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the

appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the
toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual.

■ The use of attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries.

■ Do not use outdoors.

■ Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of table

or counter.

■ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated

oven.

■ Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

■ To use, plug cord into electrical outlet. To disconnect, grasp plug and

remove from outlet. Do not yank on cord.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug — one blade is wider than the other.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The short power-supply cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the
possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is
needed, use an Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-Listed extension cord
rated no less than 15-amperes and 120 volts. When using an extension
cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone
could accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid
jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.

TAMPER -RESISTANT SCREW

This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

HOW TO USE

Baking Waffles
NOTE:

Be sure you have “conditioned” the cooking surfaces (See

“IMPORTANT Before First Use”).

1. Close the lid and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet. The
Power Light will come on to indicate
the unit is heating. Use the preheat
time (about 4

1

⁄2minutes) to
prepare your batter. When the
Ready-to-Cook Light cycles on,
the unit is preheating (A).

2. Open the unit, pour

1

⁄2cup of batter
onto the lower cooking surface, and spread it
evenly over the entire lower surface. (Pouring more than this will cause
excess batter to seep out over the edges.)

3. Carefully close the top. Keep hands away from the unit as steam
escapes during baking. The Ready-to-Cook Light will cycle on and off
during baking to maintain temperature. Cooking time is about 4-6
minutes, depending on the type of batter/ingredients you used and the
amount of browning and crispness you’d like.

4. Use a timer for accurate waffle cooking. Avoid opening the unit during
the baking cycle as this may cause the waffle to stick or split.

5. When the waffle is done and the steam has stopped escaping, open the
top and use a fork to remove the waffle. Be careful not to scratch the
non-stick coating with the fork. If the waffle sticks, lightly re-oil the
cooking surfaces.

6. Since this wafflemaker semi-cuts the waffle into 4 sections, you may
want to have a plate nearby when removing the waffle in case it
separates into parts. Keep the lid closed between cooking batches of
waffles to preserve heat.

7. When all waffles are baked, unplug the cord, open the unit, and allow it
to cool before cleaning.

Helpful Hints

1. Belgian waffles are great for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or desserts.
Consider the following toppings to create tasty treats: sliced fruits or
berries, syrup or honey, whipped cream, ice cream, jelly or jam,
powdered sugar, or fruit yogurt.

2. Baked waffles freeze well. Cook all the batter. Cool the waffles and
place paper towels between them. Wrap them in plastic wrap or freezer
bags, and freeze. No need to defrost them when you want to reheat
frozen waffles. Just heat them in a toaster or toaster oven.

3. If a waffle sticks and splits when you try to open the lid, close the
wafflemaker and continue baking until the waffle is crisp (another
minute or so). Crisp waffle pieces are easier to remove from the
cooking grids.

1. Open the unit by lifting the Handle. The top section will rest in a vertical
position (See Call Out). The hinge between the sections is designed to
be loose. This allows the waffle to rise evenly and for steam to escape.

2.

IMPORTANT Before First Use: Condition the non-stick cooking
surfaces with a light coating of cooking oil before first use. Do not use
non-stick cooking spray. Thoroughly brush the oil onto the cooking
surfaces or wipe on with a paper towel. Be sure to coat the cooking
surfaces. Wipe OFF excess oil with paper towels. You only need to do
this the FIRST time you use this appliance.

CLEANING YOUR WAFFLEMAKER

NOTE: No maintenance or service to this appliance is required other than
the cleaning procedure described in this manual. There are no user­serviceable parts.

1. Be sure the unit is unplugged and completely COOL before cleaning.
Wipe the cooking surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth. DO NOT
IMMERSE THE UNIT nor run water directly onto the cooking surface.

2. Do not use steel wool pads, sharp or pointed objects, or other abrasive
cleaners on the cooking surfaces as they may damage the non-stick
coating. To remove cooked-on batter, use a plastic bristle brush or
nylon mesh pad. Be sure to clean the handles after each use.

3. Wipe the outside surfaces with a damp soapy sponge or cloth. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners that
may scratch or mar the exterior surfaces. Never spray or apply
cleaners directly to the wafflemaker; instead, apply the cleaner to a
cloth and rub on.
