Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

⚠ 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.

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 (93°C) 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.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard.

Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or unit in water or other liquid.

IF YOU LIVE IN A HIGH-ALTITUDE AREA:

The Extension service will have detailed information about cooking for your area. To locate the Cooperative Extension service in your county, please visit: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/.

NOTES:

• Only use wooden or plastic cooking utensils to prolong the life of the nonstick coating.
