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 wae 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, select the plate with the pattern of your
choice and 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 white 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 white 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. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
9. Allow the Waffle Maker to cook for 4 to 5 minutes, according to recipe directions.
ThewhiteREADYlight will cycle on and off as the unit maintains baking temperature.
