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.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or any part of the appliance in water or other liquid.

Unplug from 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 supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

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 grounding 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 appliances.

Parts and features

How to use

WARNING Burn Hazard. Always use an oven mitt to protect 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.

Plug cord into electrical outlet. The Power ON light will glow.
Preheat with lid closed until READY light comes on.
Use a cooking spray before pouring batter into the grids, especially for dessert waffles or recipes with a lot of sugar.
Raise lid and pour about 1/3 cup (80 ml) batter onto center of each waffle square. Lower the lid.
Waffles are done in about 3 to 6 minutes, depending on recipe, or when steaming begins to stop. Remove waffle with plastic or wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick coating.
Unplug unit when through cooking. Let cool.

Power ON and Ready lights

The POWER ON light comes on when the waffle maker is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is unplugged.
The READY light comes on when the waffle maker has reached the desired temperature. For best results, wait until the READY light comes on before adding the 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 canbe stored upright to save space.

Usage tips

Most waffle recipes can be poured directly onto the nonstick cooking grids. Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles or any recipe 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 (90˚C) oven.
To store waffles, let cool and then pack in an airtight container. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Waffles can be reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or regular oven.
Most waffles are done in about 3 to 6 minutes. Recipes made from scratch may take longer. Check for doneness after approximately 5 minutes or when the steaming stops. If the lid doesn’t lift easily, let waffles cook a minute more before checking again.
