GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection,
the Waring Pro®
Professional Waffle
Maker is supplied with
a molded 3-prong
grounding-type plug
and should be used
in combination with
a properly connected
grounding-type outlet
as shown in the figure.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long 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, and 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 animals, or tripped over.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Before using your Waring Pro® Professional Belgian
Waffle Maker for the first time, remove any dust from
shipping by wiping the plates with a damp cloth.
Remove all protective paper and wrapping.
2. Plug cord into 120V AC wall or outlet. Switch the
toggle switch to the On position. The red light will
go on to signal power. The waffle maker will now
begin the preheating process. This should take
about 4 minutes. The waffle maker will sound 6
beeps and the green indicator light will go on to
signal the unit is ready for baking. Season the waffle
grids by spraying with cooking spray or brushing
with a flavorless oil.
For initial use, it is important that the waffle maker
is preheated before seasoning with cooking spray
or oil.

5. Using the recipes provided (fill measuring scoop to
fill line 3⁄4 or to top of measuring scoop depending on
the recipe. For loose batters, fill to the 3⁄4 mark; for
thicker batters fill to the top) and pour batter evenly
into the center of the waffle grids. Use a heatproof
spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids.
Close the lid and rotate the unit 180° to the right.
6. When the waffle is completely baked, the waffle
maker will sound 3 beeps. Baking time is
determined by browning level. Choose a setting
on the browning control dial. For golden brown
waffles, we recommend using setting #4.
7. Once the waffle is ready and the waffle maker
has beeped 3 times, rotate the waffle maker 180°
to the left, open the lid and remove waffle by gently
loosening the edges with a heatproof plastic
spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may
damage the nonstick coating.
8. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet,
once baking has been completed.
