Before Using for the First Time

1. Carefully unpack the Waffle Maker and remove all packaging and materials.
2. Before using your Waffle Maker for the first time, wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth
to remove all dust and then dry. Wipe outer surfaces with a slightly damp, soft cloth or sponge.
CAUTION: Take care to prevent water from running into the appliance.
Never immerse waffle maker BODY in water or any other liquids!
3. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat surface. Keep the Waffle Maker closed until use.

Operating Instructions

1. Using the handle latch, lift the top lid to the open position.
2. Before baking the first waffles of the day, use a heat-resistant brush to apply 1 teaspoon of
vegetable oil to both the upper and lower cooking plates. If a brush is not available, spread
with an absorbent kitchen towel and wipe off any excess oil.
3. Plug unit into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The red POWER light will illuminate as the
Waffle Maker preheats.
NOTE: When your Waffle Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor.
This is normal and should disappear after 1 or 2 uses. This does not affect the safety of the
appliance. However, as it may affect the flavor of the first waffles prepared in the Waffle Maker,
it is recommended that these be discarded.
4. While preheating, prepare waffle batter.
5. After approximately 3 to 5 minutes, the blue READY light will illuminate, indicating the unit
is preheated and is ready for use.
6. Recipes will vary in cook time and brownness; batters with more sugar will brown quicker.
Note the perfect cook times for each batter recipe for future use.
7. Pour waffle batter onto the center of each of the 4 waffles on the lower cooking plate.
If batter is thick, use a spatula to spread batter to edges.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL; batter will expand when cooked.
8. Using the handle latch, lower the top lid. The latch will fit over the lower handle to secure.
9. Allow the Waffle Maker to cook for 4 to 5 minutes, according to recipe directions.
The blue READY light will cycle on and off as the unit maintains baking temperature.
10. Wipe the outside with a clean paper towel or cleaning cloth if necessary.
11. At the end of the cook time, open the latch and lift the top lid gently; if it pulls, continue baking
for 30 seconds and test again. If the waffles need to bake to a darker finish, close the lid and
continue cooking in 20 second intervals until the desired color is achieved.
12. Wearing oven mitts, remove waffles from the cooking plates using a non-metallic utensil.
A wooden or heat-proof plastic spatula can be used to remove the waffles.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the non-stick surface, never use any sharp, pointed or metal objects.
WARNING: Cooking surfaces are hot, do not touch; use caution until cooking plates are cool.
NOTE: If additional waffles are to be cooked, keep the Waffle Maker closed to retain heat.
Always wait until the blue READY light illuminates before baking more waffles.
NOTE: Waffles made later will bake faster because extra heat has been retained.
It may be necessary to adjust to a shorter cooking time to accommodate.
13. When baking is complete, after waffles have been removed, unplug the power cord
from electric outlet. Lift the top lid to expose the cooking plates and allow unit to cool.
14. Do not clean until unit has been fully cooled.
