Only reheat whole waffles in toaster.
Do not reheat Waffle Stix
™
individually.
Reheat on lowest toaster setting.
21. Care must be taken when breaking
waffles into sticks as waffles are hot.
Allow to cool approximately 10 seconds
before breaking.
22. Do not break into sticks while waffle is in
waffle baker. Remove the waffle prior to
breaking. Do not use metal utensils as
they will scratch the non-stick surface.
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.
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
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,

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.
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.

4. Waffles are done in about 61⁄2 min-
utes, depending on recipe, or when

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.
• For soft, tender waffles, cook for about
6 minutes.
• For crisp, breakable waffles, cook for
about
61⁄2 to 7 minutes.
•
Most waffles are done in about 6
minutes. Some of the recipes which
are made from scratch may take a little
longer. Check for doneness at about 6
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.
• To make Waffle Stix™, break waffles
along lines. Care must be taken when
breaking waffles into sticks as waffles
are very hot upon removal from waffle baker. Allow to cool approximately
10 seconds before breaking, but do
not wait too long. Waffles tend to
lose crispness with time and will
become more difficult to break.
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.
