OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This product 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 provided with a grounded cord, the extension cord must also be a grounding 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.

Parts and Features

The red Power ON light comes on when the appliance is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is unplugged.

The green READY lights come on when the appliance has reached the desired temperature. For best results, wait until green READY lights come on before adding waffle batter. These lights will cycle on and off during baking.

How to Use

WARNING! Burn Hazard. Always use an oven mitt to protect hand when opening a hot waffle maker. Escaping steam can burn.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wipe the bottom and top cooking grids with a soapy, damp cloth. Rinse cloth; then wipe grids again. Wipe or brush waffle grids with vegetable oil. This is only recommended before first use. Waffle browning will improve with each subsequent batch. Cooking grids are dishwasher-safe.

Usage Tips

• To make your family a quick, hot breakfast, use any of the waffle mixes currently available on the market.
• Save additional time in the morning by preparing waffle batter the night before and refrigerating it. Make sure waffle batter reaches room temperature before use. Using fresh batter results in fluffier waffles.
• 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°C) oven.

• Most waffles are done in about 6 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 6 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 steaming stops.
• To store, let waffles cool and pack in an airtight container; store in refrigerator or freezer for reheating later.
• Reheat in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or a regular oven.
