IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions.

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or any part of the appliance in water or other liquid.

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

Do not use appliances for other than intended use.
Do not use the appliance unattended.

During use, provide 4 to 6 inches of air space above, behind, and on both sides for air circulation.
Never remove the waffle with any kind of cutting device or other metallic kitchen utensil.

Always allow the appliance to cool before putting it away, and never wrap the cord around the appliance while it is still hot.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other consumer safety information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. 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 accidentally tripped over.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

How to use

WARNING Burn Hazard.

Always use an oven mitt to protect your hand when opening a hot waffle maker. Escaping steam can burn.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wipe the bottom and top cooking grids with a soapy, damp cloth. Rinse cloth; then wipe grids again. Wipe or brush waffle grids with vegetable oil. This is only recommended before first use. Waffle browning will improve with each subsequent batch.

Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. The red Power light will glow.
Choose the desired temperature (MIN–MAX) and preheat with the cover closed until the green Preheat light comes on.
Use a cooking spray before pouring the batter into the grids.
Press the cover lock to unlock the cover, raise the cover, and pour about 1⁄3 cup (80 ml) batter onto the center of each cooking grid. Close cover and lock. The green Preheat light will cycle on and off during cooking.
Waffles are done in about 3–6 minutes, depending on the chosen temperature, recipe, or when steaming begins to stop. Remove waffles with plastic or wooden utensils. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick coating of the appliance.
Unplug the unit when through cooking. Let cool.

Power and Preheat lights

The red Power light comes on when the appliance is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is unplugged. The green Preheat light comes on when the appliance has reached the desired temperature. For best results, wait until the green Preheat light comes on before adding waffle batter. This light will cycle on and off during baking.

Care and cleaning

WARNING Shock Hazard.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or base in water or any other liquid.

Unplug from outlet and let cool.

Wipe cooking grids and outside of unit with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse cloth and wipe grids again.
Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleansers on any part of the unit. Never use sharp or pointed objects for cleaning purposes.
Always allow the appliance to cool down completely before storing. Lock the cover lock; then the unit can be stored upright to save space.

Usage tips

Use a cooking spray before pouring batter into the grids, especially for dessert waffles or recipes with a lot of sugar.
If your waffles start to stick, the grids may need to be scrubbed with a nylon brush to remove any cooked-on food particles.
Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven. Or let them cool and pack in an airtight container; store in refrigerator or freezer. They can be reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or a regular oven.

Most waffles are done in about 5 minutes. Some of the recipes which are made from scratch may take a little longer. Check for doneness at about 5 minutes. If the cover of the waffle maker doesn’t lift up easily, then let it cook a minute more before checking again. When the steaming stops is also an indicator that the waffle is done.
