3. Setup

Before First Use:

2. Wipe the nonstick cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not immerse the unit in water.
3. Ensure the drip tray is properly inserted into its slot.
4. Place the waffle maker on a clean, dry, flat, and heat-resistant surface.

4. Operating Instructions

Preheating:

1. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The red 'Power' indicator light will illuminate.
2. Turn the browning control dial to your desired setting (1-9). For initial use, a medium setting (around 4-5) is recommended.
3. Allow the waffle maker to preheat until the green 'Ready' indicator light illuminates. This indicates the unit has reached the optimal cooking temperature.

Cooking Waffles:

1. Once the 'Ready' light is on, open the waffle maker.
2. Pour approximately 3/4 to 1 cup of waffle batter onto the lower cooking plate. Distribute evenly.
3. Close the lid and immediately rotate the waffle maker 180 degrees using the cool-touch handle. This ensures even batter spread and consistent browning.
4. The 'Ready' light will turn off during cooking. It will re-illuminate when your waffle is cooked to your selected browning level. Cooking time is typically 6 minutes, but can vary based on batter and browning setting.
5. Once the 'Ready' light is on, rotate the waffle maker back to its upright position. Open the lid and carefully remove the waffle using a heat-resistant, non-metallic utensil.
6. Repeat for additional waffles.

Recipe Suggestion: Corn Waffles

Ingredients:

• 2 (8-1/2-oz) packages corn muffin mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• 1-1/2 cups milk
• 1 (15-oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
• 2 (4-oz) cans chopped green chilies, drained
• 2 cups grated cheese (American or Monterey Jack)
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions:

1. Condition and preheat the Rotating Belgian Waffle Maker.
2. Use a spoon to stir corn muffin mix, cayenne, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk together. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
3. Stir in corn, chilies and cheese.
4. Pour approximately 3/4 to 1 cup of batter onto the lower cooking plate. Close the lid, turn the temperature control dial to medium (4) setting, and bake.
5. When a waffle is done, the top cooking plate should lift easily. Lift the plate gently; if it pulls, continue cooking for 1 minute and test again.
6. If necessary, adjust cooking dial for future waffle baking and repeat with remaining batter.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care ensures the longevity of your waffle maker:

• Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• The nonstick cooking plates can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as this can damage the nonstick coating.
• The removable drip tray is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup of any excess batter.
• The exterior of the unit can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
