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 appliance.

17. Always allow the appliance to cool down completely before putting

it away and never wind the cord around the appliance while it is still hot. Other Consumer Safety Information 840222101 ENv01.indd 3840222101 ENv01.indd 3 12/7/12 12:14 PM12/7/12 12:14 PM4

1. Plug cord into electrical outlet. The

red POWER light comes on.

2. Preheat with lid closed until green

READY light comes on.

3. Use a cooking spray before pouring

batter into the plates, especially for dessert waffles or recipes with a lot of sugar.

5. Immediately grasp both handles and

flip the waffle maker over. It can be flipped from side to side, or from front to back. Make sure the waffle maker maintains contact with the counter while flipping over.

6. 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.

7. Unplug unit when through cooking. Let cool.

NOTE: It is not necessary to flip the waffle maker. It can be used like a traditional waffle maker. However, for the lightest, fluffiest waffles, flipping the waffle maker over immediately creates an air pocket in the center of the waffle. 840222101 ENv01.indd 5840222101 ENv01.indd 5 12/7/12 12:14 PM12/7/12 12:14 PM6 POWER and READY Lights Waffle Maker Tips The red POWER light comes on when the waffle maker is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is unplugged. The green 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.

• Most waffle recipes can be poured directly onto the nonstick cooking plates. Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles or any recipe with a lot of sugar. If your waffles start to stick, the plates 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 when steaming begins to stop. If the lid doesn’t lift easily, let waffle cook a minute more before checking again. 840222101 ENv01.indd 6840222101 ENv01.indd 6 12/7/12 12:14 PM12/7/12 12:14 PM7
