Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions before operating.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Setup
- Unpack the waffle cone maker and remove all packaging materials.
- Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge, then dry thoroughly.
- Place the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface.
- Ensure the power cord is not tangled and is positioned away from hot surfaces.
- For first use, it is recommended to operate the appliance empty for about 5-10 minutes on a medium setting to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal. Allow to cool and wipe plates clean before first actual use.
Operating Instructions
Before First Use:
- Prepare your waffle cone batter according to your recipe.
- Ensure the appliance is clean and dry.
Making Waffle Cones:
- Plug the waffle cone maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate.
- Adjust the temperature control dial to your desired setting. The preheat indicator light will turn on.
- Allow the appliance to preheat until the preheat indicator light turns off, signaling it has reached the set temperature.
- Carefully open the lid. Lightly grease both the upper and lower non-stick waffle plates with cooking oil or spray, especially for the first waffle or if waffles begin to stick.
- Pour approximately 3-4 tablespoons of batter onto the center of the lower waffle plate. Avoid overfilling.
- Close the lid and gently press down to engage the locking mechanism. This ensures even cooking and proper thickness.
- Cook for approximately 1 to 3 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. Cooking time may vary based on batter consistency and desired crispness. Monitor closely, especially since there is no built-in timer.
- Once cooked, carefully open the lid. Using a non-metallic utensil (e.g., wooden spatula), gently remove the hot waffle from the plate.
- Immediately roll the hot waffle into a cone shape using the provided cone rolling tool. Work quickly as the waffle will harden as it cools. Pinch the end of the cone to seal.
- Place the formed cone on a wire rack to cool and fully crisp.
- Repeat the process for additional cones. If making multiple batches, allow the appliance to reheat between waffles if the preheat light comes back on.
- When finished, unplug the appliance from the outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- The waffle cone maker requires hand washing only. Do not immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
- Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
- For the non-stick cooking plates, use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any batter residue. For stubborn residue, a small amount of cooking oil can be applied to soften it before wiping. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
- Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before storing.
- For compact storage, the appliance can be stored upright.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Waffles are not cooking evenly or are too thin/thick. | Incorrect batter amount; lid not fully locked; uneven batter spread. | Ensure correct batter quantity (approx. 3-4 tbsp). Close lid firmly to engage lock. Spread batter evenly before closing. |
| Waffles are sticking to the plates. | Plates not sufficiently greased; batter recipe issue; plates not fully preheated. | Lightly grease plates before each waffle. Ensure plates are fully preheated (preheat light off). Review batter recipe. |
| Waffles are not crisp. | Insufficient cooking time; temperature setting too low; batter too moist. | Increase cooking time. Adjust temperature setting higher. Ensure batter is not overly moist. Allow cones to cool on a wire rack to crisp. |
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue. | Ensure appliance is securely plugged into a working 120V AC outlet. Check circuit breaker. |
