THIS UNIT IS FOR

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

This appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, as a safety feature, this plug will

fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not insert fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still fails to fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

EXTENSION CORD USE

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord
may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the
electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. The extension 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 unintentionally.

USING YOUR OSTER®FLIP BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER

FOR BEST RESULTS, FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS.

When your waffle maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or
odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety
of your appliance. However, it may affect the flavor of the first set of waffles
prepared in your waffle maker, and it is recommended that you discard these.

PREPARING YOUR FLIP BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER

• Pre-heat the waffle maker by setting the temperature control to the maximum setting.

• Close the waffle maker and plug it into the wall outlet, you will notice that the
red power light will go on, indicating that the waffle maker has begun preheating.
It will take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking temperature. The red
power light will remain on until you unplug your waffle maker. When the green
light goes on, the waffle maker is ready for use.

• Set the Waffle Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting in
the middle. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference.

A lower setting produces a lighter colored waffle, while waffles made at a higher
setting are darker and crisper. Different waffle batters will also cook up differently.
Over time, you will find your perfect setting for the batter you use.

• 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

• When the proper baking temperature is reached, the green light will go on.
Once heated up, cycle times will be faster.

• Pour batter onto bottom grid of waffle maker. Ladle just enough batter to
fill lower grid so that the peak area of the grid is covered. If necessary, use
a spatula to spread the batter in to the corners of the grid. At this point the
green light will go off as the baking cycle begins.

• Close waffle maker and rotate unit 180º to the right (clockwise). Do not open
for at least 1
waffles to split, making them difficult to remove.

• When the green light goes on again, rotate waffle maker 180º to the left
(counterclockwise). Your waffles should be done according to the Waffle
Temperature Control setting that you’ve chosen. If you want them darker,
close the lid and continue baking until the desired color is achieved.

• Remove waffles from the grid using non-metallic utensils.

• If additional baking is to be done, close waffle maker to retain heat. Always
be sure the green light goes on again before making more waffles.

• If you need to take a short break, close waffle maker to maintain heat.
When you return to baking, you will notice that the first waffles will bake
faster because extra heat has been allowed to build up.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or
near children.

• When baking is complete, simply unplug the power cord from wall outlet.
Leave waffle maker open to cool. Do not clean until unit has cooled.

WAFFLE BAKING TIPS

• When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will be tough.
Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.

• The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without
overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from
a measuring cup will help you gauge how much batter to use each time.
Fill bottom grid of waffle maker with enough batter to cover peak areas
of the grid about

• For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer edge of
grid,using a heat proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before
closing lid.

• Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more tender than regular
waffles, and may require more care when removing from waffle maker. You
may want to break these waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use
a spatula to support waffles when removing from the waffle maker.

• To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent
steam from accumulating underneath.

• When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot and crisp by
placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven until ready to serve.

• Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped, individually,
by returning to hot waffle maker. Set Waffle Temperature Control to low.
Place waffle on grid so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 min­utes,watching carefully to prevent burning.

• Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic
freezer bag or in covered container, separating waffles with wax paper.
Reheat frozen waffles in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.

CLEANING AND CARE

Here are a few easy steps to keep your waffle maker looking and working
like new:

• Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool before cleaning. There is
no need to disassemble the waffle maker for cleaning. Never immerse the waffle
maker in water or place in dishwasher.

• 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.

• 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. A little metal polish suitable for stainless steel may be used occasionally
on the top housing. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not place
in the dishwasher.

• 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.

• Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles, they can damage the
non-stick surface.
