IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be fol­lowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.

• To protect against electrical shock, do
not immerse cord, plug, or appliance 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
and before cleaning. Allow time to cool
before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning the appliance.

• Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug, or if the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Contact
consumer support at the toll-free
number listed in the warranty section.

• The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over edge
of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot
oil or other hot liquids.

• Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.

• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instructions concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)

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 fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: 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.

ELECTRICAL CORD

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a

grounding-type 3-wire cord.
c) The longer 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.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed

in these instructions.

1. Before first use, condition the nonstick waffle plates
by brushing or wiping a light coating of cooking
oil (vegetable, canola, or corn oil) onto the entire
cooking surface. Wipe off excess oil with paper towel.

2. Flip and follow the same directions on the other set of
plates; then close the waffle maker.

3. Plug into a standard outlet. The red power indicator
light (A) will come on and the waffle maker will begin
to preheat. The red light will remain illuminated until
the waffle maker is unplugged.

4. Allow the waffle maker to preheat. The green
temperature-ready indicator light (B) will illuminate
when the appliance is ready to use.

Tip: The green light only indicates when the appliance
is at temperature, not when the waffle is ready. It will
cycle on and off during the cooking process to keep a
consistent temperature.

Note: During the initial preheating, you may notice
smoke and a light odor. This is normal and should
cause no concern.

5. Once the waffle maker is preheated, open the waffle
maker by pulling the handle lock to the unlock
position. (C) Lift the cool touch handle. Pour about ¾
cup of batter into the center of the lower waffle plate.

7. Wait approximately 10 seconds, then turn the cool

touch handle until the waffle maker is upside down. (E)

8. If making only one waffle, skip to step 11. If making a

second waffle, unlock the handle (C) and open the
second set of plates. Pour about ¾ cup of batter into
the center of the waffle plate.

9. Close the waffle maker with the cool touch handle,

but do not force it shut. Lock the handle by pressing

10. Wait approximately 10 seconds, and then turn the cool

11. Allow the waffle(s) to cook until steaming subsides,

about 3-4 minutes. For crispier waffles, extend
cooking time for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Note: Avoid opening waffle maker while the waffle is
cooking. Opening at this point may cause the waffle
to stick or cook poorly.

12. When cooking is finished, flip the waffle maker,

unlock the handle and remove the first waffle. If
making two waffles: lock the handle, flip the waffle
maker, unlock the handle, open and remove the
second waffle.

Note: Only remove waffles with heat-resistant,
nonstick utensils. Do not use metal utensils, as they
can damage the nonstick coating.

13. When finished, unplug waffle maker and allow it to

cool completely before cleaning or storing.

Follow the direction of the
arrow to flip.

USEFUL TIPS

• Fully cooked waffles freeze well. When cooled to room temperature, simply wrap
individually in plastic wrap or place in freezer bag and close airtight. They can be
kept frozen for several months.

• Packaged pancake mixes, including the whole wheat variety, make delicious
waffles. Follow the package directions for waffles.

• Don’t use water to clean the nonstick waffle plates. Simply allow them to cool and
brush off any crumbs that may be left in the grids. Cotton swabs are handy for
cleaning between the ridges.

• For lighter waffles, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to soft peaks and
fold in to the batter just before cooking the waffles.

• Waffles can be kept warm by placing them on a rack or a cookie sheet in a
preheated oven set to 300ºF for up to 10 minutes.

• Never stack cooked waffles. This makes them soggy.

• To reheat waffles, use your preheated toaster oven and set it to 350º F, for about
5 minutes.

• Using a waffle mix? Add some excitement! Just before cooking, stir in:

Mashed banana
Chopped walnuts, macadamia nuts, toasted almonds or pecans
Diced fruit, such as, apples, peaches, plums or berries

CARE AND CLEANING

3. To remove cooked on food, use a plastic bristle brush or nylon mesh pad.

abrasive cleaners on the cooking surfaces, as they may damage the non-stick
coating.

4. Clean the outside surfaces by wiping with a damp or soapy sponge or cloth.

Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
