Consumer Safety Information
Grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug):
This type of plug will only fit into an
electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug.
This is a safety feature intended to help
reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the
plug should fail to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose
of the grounding pin by modifying the plug
in any way.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

How to Use
1. Plug cord into electrical outlet.
The red ON light will glow.
2. Preheat with cover closed until the
green PREHEAT light comes on.
3. Raise cover and pour about 3⁄4 cup
batter onto the
center of the
waffle maker.
Lower the
cover.
4. Waffles are done in about 5 minutes,
depending on recipe, or when
steaming stops. Remove waffle with
plastic or wooden utensil. Never use
metal. This will damage the nonstick
coating.
5. Unplug unit when through cooking.
Let cool.
The length of the cord used on this
appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. If an extension cord is
used, it must also be a grounded-type 3-wire
cord. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the
rating of the waffle baker. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
WARNING: Always use a hot mitt to protect
hand when opening
a hot waffle baker.
Escaping steam can
burn.
BEFORE FIRST USE: Wipe the bottom and top
cooking grids with a soapy damp cloth. Rinse
cloth then wipe grids again. Wipe or brush
cooking grids with vegetable oil. This is only
recommended before
first use.
ON and PREHEAT Lights
The red ON Light comes on when the
waffle baker is first plugged in. This
light will stay on until the unit is
unplugged.
The green PREHEAT Light comes on
when the waffle baker has preheated.
For best results, wait until the green
PREHEAT Light comes on before adding
the waffle batter. This means the waffle
baker has reached the perfect temperature. This light will cycle on and off
during baking.

Waffle Baker Tips
• Most waffle recipes can be poured
directly onto the nonstick waffle grids.
Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles
or any recipe with a lot of sugar. If
your waffles start to stick, the grids
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 oven.
• To store cooked waffles, let them cool,
then pack in an airtight container and
store in refrigerator or freezer. They
can be reheated in a microwave oven,
a toaster oven, or regular oven.
• Most waffles are done in about 5
minutes. Some of the recipes which
are made from scratch may take a little
longer. Check for doneness at about 5
minutes. If the cover of the waffle
baker doesn’t lift up easily, then let it
cook a minute more before checking
again. When the steaming stops is also
an indicator that the waffle is done.
How to Clean
1. Unplug from outlet and let cool.
2. Wipe cooking grids and outside of
unit with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse
cloth and wipe grids again.
3. 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.
4. Always allow the appliance to
cool down
completely
before storing.
The unit can
be stored
upright to
save space.
DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER OR
OTHER LIQUID.
