4. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the waffle maker and all packaging materials.
2. Inspect: Check the appliance for any damage. Do not use if damaged.
3. Clean: Before first use, wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. This removes any manufacturing residues.
4. Placement: Place the waffle maker on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and curtains to allow for proper ventilation.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Before First Use

It is recommended to operate the waffle maker empty for approximately 5-10 minutes during its first use. This will burn off any manufacturing oils and odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

5.2. Making Waffles

1. Preheat: Plug the waffle maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The indicator light(s) will illuminate, signaling that the appliance is heating up.
2. Prepare Batter: While the waffle maker preheats, prepare your waffle batter.
3. Indicator Light: Once the waffle maker reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the indicator light(s) may change color or turn off, depending on the model. This indicates it is ready for use.
4. Apply Batter: Carefully open the waffle maker. Pour your favorite batter onto the lower cooking plate. Do not overfill, as the batter will expand.
5. Close: Gently close the lid.
6. Cook: Allow the waffles to cook for several minutes. The exact cooking time will vary depending on the recipe and desired crispness. Monitor the waffles to prevent overcooking.
7. Remove: Once cooked to your preference, carefully open the lid and remove the waffles using a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil. Do not use metal utensils, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
8. Unplug: After use, unplug the waffle maker from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe Plates: Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe the non-stick cooking plates. For stubborn residue, a small amount of cooking oil can be applied to soften it before wiping.
3. Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the waffle maker in water or any other liquid.
4. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
