USING YOUR OSTER® 4 SLICE WAFFLE MAKER
Preparing Your 4 Slice Waffle Maker
1 Close the waffle maker and plug it into the wall outlet, you
will notice that the red power indicator light will turn on. It
will take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking
temperature. When the Green Ready Light goes ON, the
waffle maker is ready for use.
2 Before baking the first waffles of the day, use a pastry
brush to lightly coat the top and bottom waffle grids with
vegetable oil. A light coating of non-stick cooking spray also
works well.
Baking
1 When the green “Ready” indicator light goes ON, the unit has
reached the correct baking temperature and is ready for use.
a
2 Pour batter onto bottom grid of waffle maker. Ladle just
enough batter to fill each plate in the lower grid so that the
peak area of the grid is covered, being careful not to overfill.
If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter in to the
corners of the grid.
3 Lower the top part without closing the latch. This will allow
more room for the waffles to expand.
Note: During cooking, the ready light may cycle ON and OFF as
the unit maintains the correct baking temperature. The cooking
time is about 4 to 6 minutes and varies depending on the type
of batter being used and desired cooking consistency of waffle.
The unit may start to emit steam during cooking. Once the unit
stops emitting any steam, this may be an indicator that the
waffles are done.

4 Once cooking is complete, remove the waffles with a spatula
or utensil, being careful not to touch the housing as it will be
hot.
Note: Avoid the use of metallic or sharp-edged utensils because
they could damage the coating on the plates.
5 If you wish to make more waffles, close the lid and wait for
the ready light to turn “ON” before cooking a new batch.
6 After use, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool
CARE & CLEANING
Here are a few easy steps to keep your wae maker
looking and working like new:
1 Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool before
cleaning. Never immerse the waffle maker in water or place
in dishwasher.
2 Brush away any loose crumbs from the grooves. Wipe grids
clean with a paper towel, absorbing any oil or butter that
might be down in the grooves of the grid. You can also wipe
grids with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive that
can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
3 Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only.
Do not clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or
steel wool, as this will damage the finish. Do not immerse in
water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.
4 Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little
cooking oil onto the hardened batter. Let sit 5 minutes to
soften batter, then wipe off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
5 Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles, they can
damage the non-stick surface.
