attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to

drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over and:

A Use only 3-wire extension cord with 3-blade grounding plug;

B The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater

than the rating of this appliance. The electrical rating is listed on the
bottom of this unit.

Before Your First Use

Before using for the first time, remove all packaging materials. Wash the
plates according to the “Care & Cleaning” section of this manual. During
first use you may notice slight smoking or odor. This is normal with any
heating appliance and will not reoccur after multiple uses. It is recom­mended that you complete a trial run of your Waffle Baker prior to first
use. Plug your Waffle Baker in and switch Toggle to ON position and let it
run for 15 minutes until all smoke and/or odor has dissipated.

Using Your Waffle Baker

1 Plug into to a 120 volt outlet. Turn the Toggle Switch to the ON

position. The Red Power Light will illuminate and 2:00 will appear in
the display indicating that the Waffle Baker has power and is starting
the preheating cycle. The red power light and heating elements will
remain on until you unplug the unit or turn the Toggle Switch to the
OFF position.

2 Always preheat the waffle bake in the closed position. When the

waffle baker has finished preheating the blue READY light will
illuminate and you will hear 4 short beeps. It will take approximately
5 minutes for the plates to preheat.

3 Before the first waffle of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat

the top and bottom waffle grids with vegetable oil or shortening.
Cooking spray will also work well for this purpose.

4 Press the COLOR button to cycle through the time settings of 1:00,

1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, and 4:00 minutes for desired browning..

5 If a darker waffle is desired press the CRISP button and the blue LED

light surrounding the CRISP button will illuminate.

NOTE: Pressing the CRISP button will toggle the CRISP feature on or off
for each set time. For instance, if you desire 3 minutes, press the COLOR
button until 3:00 is displayed, then press the CRISP button.

6 Ladle just enough batter to fill the lower waffle plate so that the

peak areas of the plate are covered (about 1 cup). If necessary, use
a spatula to spread the batter into the corners of grid.

7 Close the baker and press the START button. The countdown timer

will begin to countdown. The waffle baker will automatically rotate
180’ after a 8-10 second delay to allow the batter to rise on the
bottom plate. The READY light will cycle on and off during the
baking process.

NOTE: At anytime during the baking process you can cancel the timer
and have the Waffle Baker rotate back to the original position by
pressing the RESET button.

8 When the selected time is up, you will hear 4 beeps and the Blue

Ready Light will illuminate. The waffle baker will rotate back 180’ to
the starting position.

9 Lift the top housing by the black cool-touch handle. Do not touch

any metal surfaces of the waffle baker housing.

Introduction

Walking into a home filled with the warm smells of coffee brewing,
sausage patties sizzling in the pan, and waffles baking makes one feel
instantly comfortable. For many people, breakfast is the most important
meal of the day, and often the only hot one eaten. It would be difficult to
dash out of the house with nothing more than a doughnut under the
belt if there was a tempting bowl of granola or a stack of hot waffles
waiting on the table.

For me, brunch is a pleasurable way to entertain on any given Saturday,
Sunday or holiday. Served late morning into early afternoon, it combines
breakfast and lunch and is a leisurely experience, casual and easy. Since
my kitchen at home is warm and inviting, I find my friends like to
congregate in the kitchen.

Usually, I prepare a few dishes, set them out on the buffet, and allow
people to help themselves. If I’m making waffles, I have the batter ready,
the Waffle Baker preheated, and spoon the batter out on demand.
Sometimes I fold berries into the batter, other times I fill my nicest bowl
with an assortment of warm poached fruit.

And to make the brunch even more festive, I like to serve chilled
champagne poured over fresh orange juice or peach juice.

Care & Cleaning

1 Always unplug the Waffle Baker and allow to completely cool

before cleaning.

2 After cooling, any excess crumbs or oils can be wiped away with a

paper towel, damp sponge or with a nylon cleaning brush. Do not
attempt to disassemble appliance for cleaning.

3 Wipe the top and bottom housings with a soft cloth. A little metal

polish suitable for stainless steel may be used on the stainless steel
housing. Do not use any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this
will damage the housing finish.

4 Never immerse the housing in water or any liquid.

5 Do not use metal utensils, which can damage the nonstick

surface, use only wood, plastic, or nylon utensils to avoid damaging
the nonstick surface.
