Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the waffle maker from its packaging. Retain packaging for storage or disposal.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the appliance in water.
3. Positioning: Place the waffle maker on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and other appliances, ensuring adequate ventilation.
4. First Use (Seasoning): For optimal non-stick performance, it is recommended to lightly brush or spray the cooking plates with a small amount of cooking oil or butter before the very first use. Wipe off any excess.

Operating Instructions

1. Preheat: Close the waffle maker and plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The Mickey Mouse power indicator light will illuminate, indicating the unit is heating.
2. Ready Indicator: The light will remain on during the preheating cycle. The appliance is ready when the light turns off, indicating it has reached the optimal cooking temperature. This typically takes a few minutes.
3. Prepare Batter: While the waffle maker preheats, prepare your favorite waffle batter.
4. Add Batter: Once preheated, open the waffle maker. Pour approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the center of the lower cooking plate. Distribute the batter evenly, ensuring it fills the Mickey Mouse shape. Do not overfill.
5. Cook Waffle: Carefully close the lid. The power indicator light will turn on again as the appliance maintains temperature. Cook for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and steam is no longer escaping from the sides. Cooking time may vary based on batter type and desired crispness.
6. Remove Waffle: Once cooked, open the lid and carefully remove the waffle using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil. Do not use metal utensils, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
7. Repeat: Close the lid to allow the waffle maker to reheat for the next waffle. The indicator light will cycle on and off.
8. Finish: When finished cooking, unplug the waffle maker from the outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning or storing.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn residue, a small amount of cooking oil can be applied to soften it before wiping clean. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• Storage: Once clean and completely dry, store the waffle maker in a cool, dry place. The cord can be wrapped around the base for compact storage.
