IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs.

3. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug or cooking unit in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

6. 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 assistance number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by appliance manufacturer may cause hazards or injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table

or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

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

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

12. To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet.

13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

14. Do not use appliance unattended.

15. When using this appliance, 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.

16. Make sure that neither the cord nor yourself touch any hot part of the appliance due to danger of burning.

17. Place the appliance only on a dry and level surface.

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

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

This appliance is intended for household use only.

No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

If the appliance has a grounded-type 3-wire cord, and an extension cord is used, it must also be a grounded-type 3-wire cord.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the waffle baker.

Your waffle baker will be equipped with one of the following types of plugs:

Polarized plug:

This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

Consumer Safety Information

840101500 ENv02 6/18/02 10:26 AM Page 2

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.

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.

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 a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. 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.

Using Your Waffle Baker

1. Plug cord into electrical outlet.

The red power ON light will glow.

2. Preheat with cover closed until the

green PREHEAT light comes on.

3. Raise cover and pour about 1⁄

4 cup

batter onto the center of each cooking grid. Lower the cover. The waffle baker will use a total of 1 cup batter.

NOTE: The waffle baker will make more consistent waffles if the batter is spread out with a plastic spatula.

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.

Power ON and PREHEAT Lights

The red power 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 reached the perfect temperature. For best results, wait until the green PREHEAT light comes on before adding the waffle batter. 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. Or let them cool and pack in an airtight container; 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.

Cleaning Your Waffle Baker

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 IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
