CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
Model 26400: This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug.
This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will
fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
Model 26500: This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type
3-wire cord (3-prong plug). The plug will only fit into an electrical
outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug
should fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding
pin, part of the 3-prong plug.
This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be
used if the electrical rating is equal to or greater than the rating of
the waffle baker. If polarized plug, an extension cord rated at least
3
13 amperes may be used. If 3-prong plug, a grounded type 3-wire
extension cord (3-prong plug) rated at least 13 amperes may be
used. 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 tripped over.

Recipes
TIPS: The Belgian waffle grid holds more batter than a traditional grid. These recipes give a range of batter to use, for
example,2⁄3 to3⁄4 cup. The larger amount should be used for
a Belgian waffle grid.
Waffles can be frozen and then reheated. Make a large batch
ahead of time and let cool on a cooling rack. Freeze in airtight storage bags then heat in an oven or microwave.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt,
and sugar. Set aside. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add milk
and egg yolks to flour mixture. Stir until smooth. Add oil and
vanilla to batter and mix well. Fold egg whites into the batter.
Pour about2⁄3 to3⁄4 cup of batter into the middle of the waffle
baker. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown.
Makes 4 to 6 waffles.
Buttermilk Waffles
11⁄2 cups flour
11⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
1
⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1
⁄2 teaspoon salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder,
baking soda, and salt; stir in buttermilk, butter, and eggs,
stirring until thoroughly mixed (batter will be thick). Pour
