1. The light on the Mini Waffle Maker keeps shutting off.

3. How do I know when the Mini Waffle Maker is heated and ready to use?
4. When the Waffle Maker reaches the optimal temperature, the Indicator Light shuts off and that means you're ready to get cooking!

9. After using my Mini Waffle Maker a few times, food is starting to stick to the surface. What is happening?

- There is probably a build-up of burnt food residue on the Cooking Surface. This is normal, especially when cooking with sugar. Allow the appliance to cool fully, pour on a little cooking oil and let sit for 5–10 minutes. Scrub Surface with a sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the Cooking Surface. Rinse the cloth and wipe again. If food remains, pour on cooking oil and let sit for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.
