Troubleshooting

  • Waffle maker not heating: Ensure the appliance is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the indicator light is on.
  • Waffles sticking: Although the surface is nonstick, a light spray of cooking oil or butter can be applied before adding batter, especially for the first use or if using certain recipes. Ensure the waffle maker is fully preheated.
  • Waffles not cooking evenly/browning: Ensure the waffle maker is fully preheated until the indicator light turns off. Adjust cooking time as needed for desired crispness.
  • Indicator light not turning off: The indicator light turns off when the unit is preheated and may cycle on and off during cooking to maintain temperature. If it never turns off after initial plug-in, contact customer support.
