1,

A short power supply

cord

has

been

provided to reduce the

hazard

resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping overa

longer cord.

2. Extension

cords

may be

used if care is

exercised in their use.

3. If an extension

cord is used,

the marked electrical rating of the

extension cord

should be at

least

as great as the electrical rating of

the

appliance. The

longer cord

should be arranged so that it will not drape

over

the countertop or tabletop where

it

can be

pulled on

by children or tripped

over

accidentally.

4. This appliance has a

polarized

plug (one blade is

wider than the

other). To reduce the

risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized

outlet

only one way. If the plug

does

not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug If it still

does

not

fit, contact

a qualified

electrician. Do not attempt to

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations!

You

are now the owner of an

OSTE@

W

AFFLE

M

AKER

.

Your new appliance will surely make

crispy,

hot,

golden

waffles in just minutes

for a quick

meal

anytime of the

day.

Prepare waffles for breakfast or brunch and pile them high with fresh fruits, whipped cream
or

just plain butter and warmed syrup.

Waffles can

also make

a tasty lunch or dinner with

such recipes

as Onion Waffles

with

Tuna å la King topping.

Even desserts

are more exciting with piping

hot

Brownie Waffles topped with

ice

cream, sauce toppings, chopped nuts and

whipped cream.

Your

OSTE@

WAFFLE

MAKER is thermostatically controlled to help

you

prepare waffles

to perfection.

Your

unit is portable so

you

can make waffles in your kitchen or right

at the

table.

The non-stick grids

make

clean-up

easy

and the waffle

maker

stands

on

end for convenient

storage.

We know that

you

will

love

your new Ostep Waffle Maker.

It’s

a great addition to any kitchen.

N

OTE

: The illustrations of Waffle Makers found ín this Instruction Manual do not

necessarily

depíct the particular

Model

Waffle Maker that

you have

purchased.

If your Waffle Maker has only one light, it

is

a

signal

light.

Units

equipped

with auto-off

provide

a high

level

of safety

not

found

in

normal

Waffle Makers.

During normal’operations, the “ON” light

will remain lit, indicating that

power is

available for heating of the

unit.

After

one hour the “ON” light

will~

begin to flash. The flashing

light indicates that the unit has gone into auto-off

mode.

In auto-off

mode,

the unit’s ability to heat is

disabled.

To

reset

your Waffle

Maker,

simply unplug the unit, wait

two seconds

and

reinsert

plug

into wall outlet.

The~“ON”

light will

stop

flashing and the unit will

provide

another hour of trouble-free cooking performance.

amount of batter runs

over,

use

less

batter.

create

a lighter, crispier waffle.

2. Completely bake waffles

before

removing from unit.

3.

Don't

open the Waffle Maker while

steam is

escaping from

sides

and front of the unit.

4. Extra-crisp waffles are

produced.by

baking waffles longer or by removing them

to a cooling

rack

for a few extra seconds

before

serving.

5.

Why

not

freeze prepared waffles for those

busy

days ahead?

Just

bake the waffles

as directed. Cool on a wire

rack

and wrap in moisture-proof paper or plastic.

reheat in

your

toaster

oven, broiler or microwave oven.
