7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or

plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance 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 of the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding type, 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 high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

How to Use

WARNING

Burn Hazard.

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

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wipe the bottom and top cooking plates with a soapy, damp cloth. Rinse cloth; then wipe plates again.

Plug cord into electrical outlet. The red POWER light comes on.

2. Preheat with cover closed until green PREHEAT light

comes on.

3. Use a cooking spray before pouring

batter into the plates, especially for dessert waffles or recipes with a lot of sugar.

4. Raise cover and pour about 2/3 to

3/4 cup (158 to 177 ml) of batter into the bottom waffle plate. Lower the cover.

5. Once you pour the batter on the plate,

the green PREHEAT light will turn off. The green PREHEAT light will cycle on and off and does not indicate that the waffle is done.

6. Waffles are done in about 5 to 8 minutes, depending on

recipe, or when steaming begins to stop. Remove waffle with plastic or wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick coating.

7. Unplug unit when through cooking. Let cool.

POWER and PREHEAT Lights

The red POWER light comes on when the waffle maker is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is unplugged.

The green PREHEAT light comes on when the waffle maker has reached the desired temperature. For best results, wait until the PREHEAT light comes on before adding the waffle. The green PREHEAT light will cycle on and off and does not indicate that the waffle is done.

Waffle Maker Tips

• Most waffle recipes can be poured directly onto the nonstick waffle plates. Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles or any recipe with a lot of sugar. If your waffles start to stick, the plates 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 200°F (90°C) oven.

• To store waffles, let cool and then pack in an airtight container. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Waffles can be reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or regular oven.

• Most waffles are done in about 5 to 8 minutes. Recipes made from scratch may take longer. Check for doneness when steaming begins to stop. If the cover doesn’t lift easily, let the waffle cook a minute more before checking again.

Care and Cleaning

Electrical Shock Hazard.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or base in water or any other liquid.

1. Unplug from outlet and let cool.

2. Wipe waffle plates and outside of unit with a damp, soapy

cloth. Rinse cloth and wipe plates 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.

Recipes

TIPS: The Belgian waffle plates hold more batter than the traditional plates of a waffle maker. These recipes give a range of batter to use, for example, 2/3 to 3/4 cup (158 to 177 ml). The larger amount should be used for a Belgian waffle.

Waffles can be frozen and then reheated. Make a large batch ahead of time and let cool on a cooling rack. Freeze in airtight storage bags; then heat in an oven or microwave oven.

Basic Waffles

2 cups (473 ml) flour 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) sugar 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, oil, and eggs. Gradually add milk mixture to flour mixture. Stir until just blended. Pour 2/3 to 3/4 cup (158 to 177 ml) of batter into waffle maker. Close cover and cook 6 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Serves: 8

Basic Blueberry Waffles: After pouring batter onto waffle plates, sprinkle fresh blueberries over batter; then close cover. Do not stir berries into batter or you will have blue-gray waffles.

Test Kitchen Tips: Homemade waffle batter may take longer to cook than packaged pancake and waffle mix. The packaged mix waffles are done in about 5 minutes. Made-from-scratch recipes take a few minutes more.
