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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a

polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the
risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or
grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

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 appliance. If the appliance is provided
with a grounded cord, the extension cord must also be a grounding
3-wire cord. 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.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high­wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

How to Use

1 2 3

Plug cord into electrical outlet.
The red Power ON light will glow.

TIP: A small amount of nonstick
cooking spray can be used on the
grids before preheating.

Choose desired browning control
setting (MIN–3) and preheat with
cover closed until the green
READY lights come on.

Raise cover and pour about 1/2
cup (125 ml) of batter into center
of the grids, allowing batter to
spread for even filling, then lower
lid. Be careful not to pour too
much batter onto grids, as they
may overflow.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wipe the bottom and top cooking grids with a soapy, damp cloth.
Rinse cloth; then wipe grids again. Wipe or brush waffle grids with vegetable oil. This is only
recommended before first use. Waffle browning will improve with each subsequent batch.

5 6

Turn handle clockwise to flip
waffle maker and lock into place
within 10 seconds of closing
cover.

Waffles are done in about 3–6
minutes, depending on the
setting, recipe, when the green
READY lights come on, or when
steaming begins to stop. Cook
time may be less as multiple
batches are made.

Using an oven mitt, turn handle
counterclockwise and open
cover. Remove waffle with plastic
or wooden utensil. Never use
metal. This will damage the
nonstick coating of the appliance.
Unplug unit when through
cooking. Let cool.

WARNING! Burn Hazard.

Always
use an oven mitt to protect hand
when opening a hot waffle maker.
Escaping steam can burn.

Usage Tips

• To make your family a quick, hot breakfast, use any of the waffle
mixes currently available on the market.

• Save additional time in the morning by preparing waffle batter the
night before and refrigerating it. Make sure waffle batter reaches
room temperature before use. Using fresh batter results in fluffier
waffles.

• Use a cooking spray before pouring batter into the grids, especially
for dessert waffles or recipes 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.

• If using nuts in waffle batter, use chopped nuts and/or evenly
spread batter to allow lid to fully close.

• Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200ºF
(93ºC) oven.

• Most waffles are done in about 5 minutes, depending on the setting
selected. 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 maker doesn’t lift up easily, then let the waffle
cook a minute more before checking again. Another indicator that
the waffle is done is when the green READY lights come on or
when the steaming stops.

• To store, let waffles cool and pack in an airtight container; store in
refrigerator or freezer for reheating later.

• Reheat in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or a regular oven.

any other warranty or condition.

This product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of original

limited to the duration of this written warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other legal rights that vary

depending on where you live. Some states or provinces do not allow limitations on implied warranties or special, incidental, or
consequential damages, so the foregoing limitations may not apply to you.
