SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Checking Shipment:

Unpack all cartons and check thoroughly for any damage that may have occurred during
transit. Damage claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company. Gold
Medal is not responsible for damage that occurs in transit.

Setup:

Remove all packing material and tape before starting operation.

Electrical Requirements:

The following power supply must be provided:

Round grid Models require a 120VAC, 60Hz. 15 amp electrical outlet.
Square grid Models require a 120VAC, 60Hz. 20 amp electrical outlet.

Your electrician must furnish sufficient current for proper machine operation. We
recommend this machine be on a dedicated and circuit protected line. Failure to wire
properly will void the warranty and can result in damage to the heat elements, light, motor
and etc.

It is Gold Medal Products Company’s recommendation that this machine be plugged
directly into a wall outlet. The use of extension cords is not recommended due to safety
risks and the baker’s performance will be sacrificed/reduced.

Before You Plug In Machine:

1. Make sure that the wall outlet can accept the three (3) prong grounded plug on the
power supply cord.

2. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician
inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.

3. DO NOT use a three (3) prong grounded to two (2) prong un-grounded adapter.

Belgian Waffle Maker Operation

1. Pre-heat the grids by turning the timer to 6 minutes (See page 6 for electronic timer instructions)
and turn the power switch to the “ON” position. Keep the grids closed and allow the unit to heat
untill the GREEN ready light goes out.

2. Open grid assembly and season lightly with Seas'n-Kleen. Pour the desired amount of
batter into the lower grid. Be careful not to overfill grid with batter.

3. Close the top grid and rotate the grid assembly 180 degrees clockwise until the positive lock
stop is engaged.

4. Turn timer knob to approximately three minutes. Some testing will be necessary to
determine the appropriate cooking time.

5. When the buzzer sounds rotate the grid assembly 180 degrees counter clockwise until the
the positive stop lock engages. Open the grids and remove the waffle.

6. Keep the grids closed between baking periods for best baking performance. Use a soft
bristled brush to remove any waffle residue from grids while baking.

General Instructions (Standard Machine)

1. Always use fresh batter and do not allow it to warm up too much.

2. Frequent cleaning with a soft-bristled brush, and re-seasoning the grids as needed

during operation, will ensure a great tasting product.

3. Leave the grids in the closed position whenever possible because open grids cause

excessive carbon build-up.

4. If the baker is on for over an hour with no baking, lightly brush Free-N-Easy (Gold Medal

Item #2250QT) on the grids before baking.

5. Never apply beeswax, paraffin, or any other waxes to grid surfaces.

Removing Excess Carbon

1. Make sure appliance is cool and dry.

2. Un-plug machine from outlet.

3. Place a shallow drip pan under the grids.

4. Open top grid and spray a generous portion of Kleen-Sweep (Gold Medal Item #

2173CN) on grids, and allow to soak for at least a 1/2 hour. See Kleen-Sweep warning
below.

5. Using a bristle brush, do a general scrubbing on all grid surfaces that had Kleen-Sweep

applied to them. Using a spray bottle, spray GRIDS ONLY with cold water to rinse away
Kleen-Sweep.

6. Scrub grid surfaces with warm-soapy water (also applied with spray bottle) to remove

remaining Kleen-Sweep.

7. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the rest of the baker, to remove any splatter.

8. Re-season grids as described in GRID SEASONING section on previous page.
