Select Brands MIC-66 - User Manual

This document is an instruction manual for the Bubble Waffle Maker with Nonstick Interior, Model # MIC-66, distributed by Select Brands, Inc.

Function Description

The Bubble Waffle Maker is an electrical appliance designed for household use to create bubble waffles. It features non-stick cooking surfaces that produce Mickey-shaped wells in the waffles. The device allows for a 180-degree rotation of the cooking plates to ensure even batter distribution and cooking. The resulting bubble waffles can be served flat, rolled into a cone shape, or draped over a rolling pin or glass to achieve a pliable texture for filling with various ingredients.

Important Technical Specifications

• Power: Operates on a 120V AC electrical outlet, 120V ~ 60 Hz.
• Cooking Surface: Non-stick interior with Mickey-shaped wells.
• Safety Features: Power indicator light, locking handle, caution for hot surfaces.
• Design: Rotatable cooking plates for even batter distribution.
• Accessories: Includes paper bubble waffle holders.

Usage Features

• Preheating: The appliance preheats for approximately two minutes until the power light turns off, indicating it's ready for use.
• Operation:
  1. Place the waffle maker on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
  2. Close the lid and lock the latch on the handle.
  3. Plug into a 120V AC outlet; the power light will illuminate, and heating will begin.
  4. Once preheated (power light off), unlock the latch and lift the lid.
  5. Apply cooking spray or oil to both upper and lower bubble waffle plates.
  6. Pour batter into the Mickey-shaped wells, ensuring the bottom plate is thinly covered but not overfilled to prevent overflow. A spouted measuring cup is recommended for accuracy.
  7. Close the lid and lock the latch.
  8. Immediately rotate the waffle maker 180 degrees to allow batter to fill the top cooking plate's wells.
  9. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Cooking times may need adjustment based on recipe variations to achieve a pliable waffle.
  10. Rotate the waffle maker back to its original position.
  11. Unlock the latch, lift the lid, and carefully remove the bubble waffle using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil. Metal utensils should not be used to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
  12. If rolling and filling the waffle, drape it over a rolling pin or glass immediately while it is soft and pliable, as it will firm up as it cools.
• Recipe Tips:
  • Use a thinner batter consistency than traditional waffle batter.
  • Slightly thin traditional waffle recipes for better bubble waffle results.
  • Remove the waffle before it browns significantly to prevent it from becoming cracked or rigid.
  • Bubble waffles can be rolled into a cone shape and inserted into provided paper holders, then filled with ingredients like ice cream, berries, cookies, or other toppings.
  • Alternatively, serve flat on a plate or in a bowl with toppings.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Always read and follow the instructions.
  • Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or knobs.
  • Do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids.
  • Close supervision is necessary when used near children.
  • Unplug when not in use, before cleaning, and allow to cool completely.
  • Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions.
  • Do not use accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Do not use outdoors.
  • Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
  • Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
  • Unplug from the wall outlet to disconnect; never pull on the power cord.
  • Use extreme caution when moving the appliance if it contains hot oil, water, or other liquids.
  • Do not use for purposes other than intended.
  • Do not operate unattended.
  • During initial use, slight smoke or odor is normal and will disappear.
  • Consider using a trivet under the appliance to protect solid surface countertops from heat damage.
• Polarized Plug: The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) to reduce electric shock. Ensure it fits fully into the outlet; if not, reverse it. Do not modify the plug.
• Cord Safety:
  • Do not pull or yank the cord or appliance.
  • Grasp the plug firmly to insert or remove it.
  • Inspect the cord for cuts or abrasion marks before each use; if found, service or replace the cord.
  • Do not wrap the cord tightly around the appliance to prevent fraying or breaking.

Maintenance Features

• Cleaning:
  • Ensure the waffle maker is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
  • Wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Clean the interior with a warm, soapy cloth, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or sharp/metal objects, as these can damage the non-stick surfaces.
  • Never submerge the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids.
  • Clean the appliance after every use.
  • Tip for Baked-on Batter: Pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the batter, let it soak for about 5 minutes to soften, then wipe away with a damp paper towel or soft cloth.
