Consumer Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
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 tollfree customer service number for
information on examination, repair or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex 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 (10 to 15 cm) 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 maker.
Your waffle maker 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
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 maker. 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.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

How to Use
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.
1. Make sure unit is unplugged. Select
preferred cooking grids.
2. Insert tabs on grid into slots on unit
near hinge
area.
3. Press the other side of the grid to snap
into place. Repeat with other grid.
4. Close unit and plug into outlet.
5. Let preheat for about 5 minutes.
To Cook Waffle Stix™:
6. Raise cover and pour about 1⁄2 cup (125
ml) batter onto
the center of
each cooking
grid. Lower the
cover. The waf-
fle maker will
use a total of
1 cup (250 ml)
batter.
7. Waffles are done in about 61⁄2 min-
utes, depending on recipe, or when
steaming stops. Remove waffle with
plastic or wooden utensil. Never use
metal. This will damage the nonstick
coating.
8. Waffles can be served whole or
broken into Waffle Stix
™
for dipping.
Care must be taken when breaking
waffles into sticks as waffles are
hot. Allow to cool for approximately
10 seconds before breaking.
9. When finished cooking, unplug unit
and let cool then follow instructions
in “To Clean.”
To Toast Sandwiches:
6. Cook sandwiches according to
recipe directions. Carefully remove
cooked sandwiches.
7. If there is a build-up of grease on
the sandwich grids, clean the grids
and any surfaces of excess grease
before continuing to cook. Follow
instructions in “To Clean.”
8. When finished cooking, unplug unit
and let cool then follow instructions
in “To Clean.”
NOTES:
• Do not operate unit unless grids are
securely snapped in place.
• Do not grill meats, fatty foods, or
marinated products on the sandwich
toaster grids.

Waffle Stix
™
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 (93ºC)
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
maker 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 hot upon removal from waffle
maker. 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.
• Only reheat whole waffles in toaster.
Do not reheat Waffle Stix™ individually. Reheat on lowest toaster setting.
• Care must be taken when breaking
waffles into sticks as waffles are hot.
Allow to cool approximately 10 seconds before breaking.
• Do not break into sticks while waffle
is in waffle maker. Remove the waffle
prior to breaking. Do not use metal
utensils as they will scratch the nonstick surface.
How to Clean
WARNING: To reduce risk of burns to hands and fingers, allow unit to cool before
removing cooking grids.
1. Make sure unit is unplugged and
cooking grids have cooled.
2. Press release buttons to remove
the cooking grids. Wash in hot,
soapy water; rinse and dry. The
cooking grids can also be washed in
an automatic dishwasher.
3. If grease drips over the grids into the
reflector pans,
the reflector
pans must also
be cleaned.
Using a soapy,
damp cloth,
carefully wipe
entire surface
of pan to
remove all grease. Let dry.
4. To clean the outside of the unit,
wipe with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleansers on the unit. Do not
place unit in automatic dishwasher or
immerse unit in water or other liquid.
5. The unit may be stored in an upright
position. Store removable grids so
that nonstick surfaces are not
scratched.
