IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Waffle Baker Safety

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

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs.

3. To protect against 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 toll-free customer service
number for information on examination,
electrical repair, mechanical repair or
adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex may cause 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.

Consumer Safety Information

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 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.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit with the waffle baker.

This appliance is equipped with a grounded­type 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 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.

Flip for Fluffiness

It is not necessary to flip the waffle baker.
It can be used like a traditional waffle
baker. But for the lightest, fluffiest waffles,
flipping the waffle baker over immediately
creates an air pocket in the center of
the waffle.

How to Use

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

1. Plug cord into electrical outlet.
The red POWER On light will glow.

2. Preheat with cover closed until the
green READY light comes on.

3. Raise cover and pour about 1⁄2 cup

batter onto the

center of
each cooking

grid. Lower
the cover.

WARNING: The handles of the waffle baker are cool to the
touch. However, always use a hot mitt to protect hand when
turning or opening a hot waffle baker. Escaping steam can
burn.

6. Waffles are done in about 5 minutes,
depending on recipe, or when
steaming stops.

7. Unplug unit when through cooking.

4. Immediately grasp both handles and

flip the waffle
baker over. It
can be flipped
from side to
side, or from
front to back.

5. Make sure the waffle baker

maintains
contact with
the counter
while flipping
over.

Waffle Baker Tips

• Recipes that call for eggs to be
separated and the whites beaten will
produce very light and airy waffles.
However, if you are short on time, this
step can be skipped. Just slightly beat
eggs with a fork and add to the recipe.

• Most waffle recipes call for oil OR
melted butter. To save time, use oil
instead of butter. The butter simply
makes a slightly richer-tasting waffle.

• Most waffle batter can be made the
night before and refrigerated to save
time in the morning.

• Most waffle recipes can be poured
directly onto the nonstick waffle
grids. Use a cooking spray for
dessert waffles or those 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.

• Use waffles for lunch and dinner.
Ladle chili over waffles made with
cornmeal or stack deli meat over
whole wheat waffles for an open­face sandwich.

POWER On and READY Lights

The red POWER On Light comes on
when the unit is plugged in. This light
will stay on until the unit is unplugged.

The green READY Light comes on
when the waffle baker has reached
the perfect temperature. For best
results, wait until the green READY
Light comes on before adding the
waffle batter.
