This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household
current).

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in 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 cord or 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.

If the power-supply cord is a grounding-type 3-wire cord with a grounding prong on the plug, the extension cord
should also be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is
equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: If the plug on this appliance does not fit in your outlet, do not modify the plug, and do not
use an adaptor. Have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.

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

• Read all instructions.

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

• To protect against risk of electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug or any part of the 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 to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair or
adjustment.

• 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, including the stove.

• 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.

• Do not use appliance unattended.

• During use, provide 4 to 6 inches air space above, behind and on both sides for air circulation. Do not use on
surfaces where heat may cause a problem.

• Never remove the waffle with any kind of cutting device or other metallic kitchen utensil.

• Always allow the appliance to cool before putting it away and never wind the cord around the appliance while it
is still hot.

Using the waffle baker

• Plug cord into electrical outlet. The POWER ON light (4) will glow.

• Preheat with lid (2) closed until READY light (5) comes on.

• Raise lid (2) and pour about 1⁄3 cup (80 ml) batter onto center of each waffle square (3). Lower the lid (2).

Make sure lid (2) is fully closed and lid latch (1) is engaged.

• Waffles are done in about 3 to 6 minutes, depending on recipe, or when steaming begins to stop.

Remove waffle with plastic or wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick coating.

• Unplug unit when through cooking. Let cool.

Power ON and READY lights

The POWER ON light (4) comes on when the waffle baker is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is

unplugged.
The READY light (5) comes on when the waffle baker has reached the desired temperature.

For best results, wait until the READY light (5) comes on before adding the waffle batter.
This light will cycle on and off during baking.

OPERATION

Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when opening
a hot waffle baker. Escaping steam can burn and lid
surfaces are hot.

w WARNING

Before first use

• Wipe the bottom and top cooking grids (3) with a soapy damp cloth.

• Rinse cloth then wipe cooking grids (3) again.

• Wipe or brush cooking grids (3) with vegetable oil.

• This is only recommended before first use.

5

• Unplug from outlet and let cool.

• Wipe cooking grids (3) and outside of unit with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse cloth and wipe grids (3) again.

• Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on any part of the unit. Never use sharp or pointed

objects for cleaning purposes.

• Always allow the appliance to cool down completely before storing. The unit can be stored upright to save space.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Most waffle recipes can be poured directly onto the nonstick cooking grids (3). Use a cooking spray for dessert
waffles or any recipe with a lot of sugar. If your waffles start to stick, the grids (3) may need to be scrubbed with
a nylon brush to remove any cooked-on food particles.

• Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200ºF (90ºC) oven.

• To store waffles, let cool and then pack in an airtight container. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Waffles can be
reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or regular oven.

•

Most waffles are done in about 3 to 6 minutes. Recipes made from scratch may take longer. Check for doneness after
approximately 5 minutes or when the steaming stops. If the lid

(2)

doesn’t lift easily, let waffles cook a minute more

before checking again.
