Other Consumer Safety Information

This product is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized 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. 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 highwattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Parts and Features

How to Use Waffle Grids

Plug cord into wall outlet. The red Power ON light will glow. TIP: A small amount of nonstick cooking spray can be used on the grids before preheating.

Choose desired waffle temperature setting and preheat with cover closed until the green READY light comes on. TIP: Waffle color and crispness are determined by the temperature of the grids. The higher the temperature, the browner and crisper the waffle.

Using an oven mitt, open cover. Remove waffle with plastic or wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick coating of the appliance. Turn control to "MIN." Unplug unit when through cooking. Let cool.
WARNING! Burn Hazard. Always use an oven mitt to protect hand when opening a hot waffle maker. Escaping steam can burn.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash grids in dishwasher or in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wipe or brush waffle grids with vegetable oil. This is only recommended before first use, but may be necessary afterwards.

Raise cover and pour two FULL premeasured scoops of batter onto center of bottom cooking grid. Lower cover.

TIP: When adding nuts, fruits, or chocolate chips to your waffle, reduce the waffle batter by 2 tablespoons (30 ml).

Waffles are done in about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the setting, recipe, when the green READY light turns back on, or when steaming begins to stop. Do not preheat or operate unit unless grids are in place.

How to Use Nonstick Skillet

WARNING Burn Hazard

Do not carry or move the skillet when it contains hot oil or food. To reduce the risk of burns due to oil spatter, do not put a large amount of oil in a skillet. When frying, pour oil in skillet and then preheat unit.

Before using skillet, move handle to the left or right until it clicks into place and the handle is straight.

Lower skillet does not lock into place. NOTE: Do not operate unit unless skillet is securely in place. Only preheat and operate with skidders in place.

Plug cord into wall outlet. The red Power ON light will glow. TIP: A small amount of nonstick cooking spray can be used on the bottom skillet before preheating.

Choose desired skillet temperature setting and preheat 5 to 7 minutes. TIP:Drain grease from skillet when cooking bacon,sausage, or other meats for even cooking.

Add food and close cover. Lift cover to check for doneness and turn foods over when necessary. Only use wooden or plastic cooking utensils to prolong the life of the nonstick coating.

TIPS:

• For best results and faster cooking, keep lid closed.
• Lower skillet has two easy-pour areas for draining.

How to Use Nonstick Skillet (cont.)

Turn control to "MIN." Unplug unit when through cooking. Let cool.

Hold lower skillet in your left hand and hold the handle in your right hand. Using your thumb, move button back towards the end of the handle. Turn handle to the left or right to fold.

French Toast ........................... 2 to 4 minutes
Pancakes ........................... 2 to 4 minutes
Bacon Crisp ........................... 4 to 6 minutes

Usage Tips

To make your family a quick, hot breakfast, use any of the waffle mixes currently available on the market.
- Use a cooking spray before pouring batter into the grids, especially for dessert waffles or recipes 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.
- If using nuts in waffle batter, use chopped nuts and/or evenly spread batter to allow lid to fully close.
- Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200^ (93^) oven.
- Reheat in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or a regular oven.

• Most waffles are done in about 6-8 minutes, depending on the setting selected. Some of the recipes which are made from scratch may take a little longer. Check for doneness at about 5 minutes. If the cover of the waffle maker doesn't lift up easily, then let the waffle cook a minute more before checking again. Another indicator that the waffle is done is when the green READY light comes on or when the steaming slows or stops.
• To store, let waffles cool and pack in an airtight container; store in refrigerator or freezer for reheating later.
