shock do not immerse cord, plug or
cooking unit in water or other liquid.

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
toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair or
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.
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:

Waffle BakingTips
• 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.
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.
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 6 minutes.
6. Raise cover and pour about 1 cup (250
ml) batter onto
the center of
cooking grid.
Lower the
cover. The
waffle maker
will use a total
of 1 cup (250
ml) batter.
7. Waffles are done in about 5 to 8
minutes, 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 bro-
ken into four quarters. Allow to cool
for approximately 10 seconds before
breaking.
9. When finished cooking, unplug unit
and let cool then follow instructions
in “To Clean.”
NOTE: Do not operate unit unless
grids are securely snapped in place.
WARNING: Always use a hot mitt to
protect hand
when opening a
hot waffle baker.
Escaping steam
can burn.
