SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd)
17. When using this appliance, provide adequate ventilation above and on all sides for air circulation. Do not allow this appliance to touch curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dish towels or other flammable materials during use.
18. CAUTION: This appliance generates heat during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fire or other damage to persons or property.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: 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.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or 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.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly 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. Please return it to an authorized service representative.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress
on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

Operating Instructions
PREPARING YOUR WAFFLE MAKER
1. Close the waffle maker and plug it into the wall outlet, you will notice that the red power light will turn on. After 3-5 minutes the green light will automatically turn on, indicating that it is ready for use.
2. Before baking the first waffle of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top and bottom waffle grids with vegetable oil. A light coating of non-stick cooking spray also works well.
READY TO BAKE? HERE YOU GO!
1. Pour batter onto bottom grid of waffle maker. Ladle just enough batter to fill lower grid so that the peak area of the grid is covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter in to the corners of the grid.
2. Close waffle maker and do not open for at least 1 minute. Opening the lid too soon will cause under-baked waffle to split, making them difficult to remove.
3. Set Browning Control according to your recipe.
4. Remove waffles from the grid using non-metallic utensils.
5. If additional baking is to be done, close waffle maker to retain heat.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or near children.
7. When baking is complete, simply turn Browning Control knob to zero and unplug the power cord from wall outlet. Leave waffle maker open to cool. Do not clean until unit has cooled.

Operating Instructions (cont'd)
WAFFLE BAKING TIPS
1. When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
2. The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle without overflowing will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid of waffle maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid.
3. For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer edge of grid, using a heat proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before closing lid.
4. To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
5. When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven until ready to serve.
6. Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped, individually, by returning to hot waffle maker. Place waffle on grid so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
7. Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container, separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster oven, or a toaster until hot and crisp.
8. For lighter and more delicate food, such as batter made with all-purpose flour, set Browning Control knob to Light and for heavier batters, such as those made with wheat flour, set Browning Control knob to Dark. If unsure, set knob to the middle and adjust accordingly.

Cleaning and Maintenance
CLEANING YOUR WAFFLE MAKER
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Refer it to qualified personnel if servicing is needed.
Here are a few easy steps to keep your waffle maker looking and working like new:
1. Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool before cleaning. There
is no need to disassemble the waffle maker for cleaning.
2. Brush away any loose crumbs from the grooves. Wipe grids clean with a
paper towel, absorbing any oil or butter that might be down in the grooves of the grid. You can also wipe grids with a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive materials, including scouring pads or steel wool.
3. Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only. Do not
clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish. A little metal polish suitable for stainless steel may be used occasionally on the top housing. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.
4. Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil onto
the hardened batter. Let it sit 5 minutes to soften batter, and then wipe off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
5. Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles; they can damage the
non-stick surface.
