ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and escaping

steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of
burns, fires or other damage to persons or property.

CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for

some time after turning off. Always use oven mitts when handling hot
materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place
anything on top of the appliance while it is operating or while it is hot.

1. All users of this appliance must read and understand this Owner's
Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.

2. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC electrical
outlet only.

3. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately unplug
the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.

4. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.

3-PRONG PLUG

This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong
plug). This 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 the outlet, contact
and electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature. This is the purpose of the grounding pin as part of the 3­prong plug. Since the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord
should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

Ashort power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. The use of an
extension cord is not recommended.

ELECTRIC POWER

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance
may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical
circuit from other appliances.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the

countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place
placemats between the appliance and the finish of the countertop or
tabletop. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent

blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

batter in order to burn off residues on the Cooking Plates.

CAUTION: To avoid burns, caution should be taken when handling the

Waffle Maker.

1. Carefully unpack Waffle Maker.

2. Wipe all surfaces with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Never immerse in
water. 3.To burn off residues on the Cooking Plates, it will be necessary
to operate the unit for a few minutes before initial use. Do not add bat­ter or oil during this time.

4. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat countertop surface, where it
can be easily plugged into an electrical outlet. Plug appliance into
120V AC electrical outlet.

5. You will notice smoke and a slight odor while residues burn off. 6.Allow
the Waffle Maker to operate until smoke and odor dissipate; then
unplug Waffle Maker and allow it to cool. Be careful, the Cooking

Plates will be hot!

NOTE: Some odor may still be detected during initial use; this is normal

and should disappear after one or two uses.

Before using for the first time, operate the appliance without

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Be sure the Cooking Plates are clean and free from dust. If necessary,
wipe with a damp cloth.

2. When using the Waffle Maker for the first time, brush the Cooking
Plates with cooking oil.

NOTE: The Waffle Maker is coated with a non-stick surface. Do not use

spray-on oils, grease or shortening, as they can cause build-up on the
Cooking Plates. Use cooking oil instead.

3. Close the Lid.

4. Plug appliance into a suitable 120V AC electrical outlet; the Red Power
ON Light will illuminate, indicating the unit has begun heating.

5. When the proper temperature has been reached, the Green READY
Light will illuminate.

6. Open Waffle Maker and carefully pour batter evenly to cover the
Cooking Plates. Be careful not to pour too much batter, as excess bat­ter will seep out of Cooking Plates.

7. Carefully close the Waffle Maker. Do not force shut. Do not latch. Steam
will be released between the Cooking Plates. Caution should be taken
to prevent hands from coming into contact with the steam.

8. When the Green READY Light comes on, open Waffle Maker. Cooking
time should take approximately 3-5 minutes. Exact cooking time will be
a matter of your taste and will depend on type of batter and ingredi­ents used. Avoid opening your Waffle Maker before cooking is com­pleted, as this may cause the waffle to stick or bake poorly.

9. When the waffles are cooked, remove them by using a plastic or wood­en spatula. Do not use metal tongs or knives, as these may damage the
non stick coating.

10. Keep the Waffle Maker closed to preserve the heat until ready for the
next batch of waffles.

11. If waffles are not to be consumed immediately, place the waffles on a
paper napkin to absorb condensation. To keep hot, place on a rack in
an ovenproof dish and warm in the oven at about 200°-250°F. Waffles
will keep for about 20 minutes and then begin to dry out.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable
parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly
other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair
technician.

INSIDE CLEANING

Wipe Cooking Plates with absorbent paper toweling or a soft cloth.
Although the Cooking Plates are coated with a non-stick coating, some
batter or ingredients may still adhere to the Waffle Maker. To remove, simply
pour a little cooking oil onto the baked-on food. Allow to stand for 5 to 10
minutes. This should soften the food and make it easy to remove with
absorbent paper toweling or a soft cloth. If the preceding measure fails to
remove the food residue, we suggest wiping the Cooking Plates with a
slightly dampened cloth and a small amount of non-abrasive detergent.

OUTSIDE CLEANING

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

TO STORE

Unplug unit and allow to cool.
Store in its box or in a clean, dry place.
Never store Waffle Maker while it is hot or still plugged in. Use the Cord

Storage Wrap located on the bottom of the Waffle Maker.
Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on cord

where it enters unit, as this could cause cord to fray and break.
The Waffle Maker can be placed in a vertical position (handles pointed up)

for neat and compact storage.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Sift all dry ingredients.

• Egg yolks should be separated from egg whites before mixing.

• Beating egg whites separately, and then folding into the batter, will cre­ate lighter and crispier waffles.

• Egg whites should be beaten until they form stiff peaks. Stir 1/4 of
beaten egg whites into batter to lighten it, then gently fold the rest of
the egg whites into the batter (there should be white streaks in the bat­ter). Do not over-mix batter when adding egg whites.

• It is not necessary to beat egg yolks and milk separately; just add to the
combined flour mixture, and use a whisk or hand mixer to blend.

8

• Do not open the Waffle Maker during the first minute of baking, or
waffles will separate. Completely bake waffles before removing them
from the unit.

• When waffles are done, the Lid should lift open easily. Lift the Lid gen­tly. If Lid pulls, wait another minute and try lifting it open again.

•Waffles can be made ahead of time, then refrigerated or frozen. When
ready to eat, just heat waffles in oven or toaster. This is ideal when
serving waffles to several people at once.

FOR LOW-FAT, LOW-CHOLESTEROL WAFFLES

• All recipes work equally well with skim milk.

• Leave out egg yolks altogether. All leavening properties come from the
beaten egg whites.

• Use liquid vegetable oils, like canola, corn or sunflower, instead of but­ter.

FOR HIGHER-FIBER WAFFLES

• Substitute 1/2-cup, or more, of whole wheat flour for white flour.

• Substitute 1/4-cup of wheat, or oat bran, for white flour.

FOR SUGARLESS WAFFLES

• Substitute 1 tablespoon of thawed all-natural white grape or apple
juice, from concentrate, for each teaspoon of sugar. If adding more
than 1 tablespoon of juice from concentrate, add a little less milk.
