Other Consumer Safety Information This appliance is intended for household use only. w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance 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.4 Premeasured Scoop (makes a whole waffle) (1/2 to 2/3 cup [118 to 158 ml]) Parts and Features Temperature Control (on certain models) Cover Cover Lock 3-Way Mess-Free Features Use premeasured scoop for the perfect amount of batter. Deep grids allow batter to go up to 50% of the height of the grids only, leaving room for waffle to rise while baking. Overflow channel allows excess batter to go into the extra-deep overflow channels, if more batter is used or fruits are added. Waffle Plates Red ON Light Green READY Light BEFORE FIRST USE: Wipe the bottom and top cooking plates with a soapy, damp cloth. Rinse cloth; then wipe plates again.5 How to Use

Plug cord into electrical outlet. The red ON light will glow. Preheat with cover closed until green READY light glows. Raise cover.

Spray or brush the cooking plates with vegetable oil.

Pour one full premeasured scoop of batter onto center of cooking plate.

Choose desired temperature (MIN to MAX). w CAUTION Burn Hazard. Always use an oven mitt to protect hand when opening a hot waffle baker. Escaping steam can burn.6 Tips for Making Waffles

• Thickness of waffle batters may vary. Adjust amount of batter as needed.

• Most waffle recipes can be poured directly onto the nonstick waffle 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 (93ºC) oven. Or let them cool and pack in an airtight container; store in refrigerator or freezer. They can be reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or regular oven.

• For soft, tender waffles, cook for about 5 to 6 minutes.

• For crisp, breakable waffles, cook for about 6 1/2 to 7 minutes.

• Most waffles are done in about 6 minutes. Some of the recipes which are made from scratch may take a little longer. Check for doneness at about 6 minutes. If the cover of the waffle baker doesn’t lift up easily, then let it cook a minute more before checking again. Another indicator that the waffle is done is when the steaming stops.

• Only reheat whole waffles in toaster, on lowest setting.

• Do not use metal utensils since they will scratch the nonstick surface. How to Use (cont.) Unplug when cooking is completed.

The green READY light will soon glow again. Waffles are done when the green READY light turns back on or when steaming stops.7 Care and Cleaning

Unplug and let cool. w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or unit in water or other liquid.
