Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

• Read all instructions before operating the appliance.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or the appliance itself in water or other liquids.
• 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. Contact the manufacturer 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 the cord hang over the edge of a 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.

Before First Use

Before using your Palmer Model 1300T Belgian Waffle Maker for the first time, please follow these steps:

1. Carefully unpack the waffle maker and remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing. Dry thoroughly.
3. For the initial use, it is recommended to perform a burn-off cycle. Plug in the waffle maker and allow it to heat for approximately 10-15 minutes without any batter. This helps to burn off any manufacturing oils and odors. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this process; this is normal.
4. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before proceeding.

Operating Instructions

Preparing the Waffle Maker

• Place the waffle maker on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure the unique three-leg stand is securely positioned to prevent wobbling.
• Plug the appliance into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The preset automatic thermostat will immediately begin heating the cooking plates.
• Allow the waffle maker to preheat completely. The appliance is ready when it reaches its optimal cooking temperature, indicated by the automatic thermostat maintaining the heat.

Making Waffles

1. Prepare your favorite waffle batter according to your recipe.
2. While the non-stick surface generally does not require it, you may lightly brush the cooking plates with a small amount of cooking oil or non-stick spray for extra crispiness or if your batter tends to stick.
3. Pour approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto each lower waffle plate, ensuring even distribution. Do not overfill, as batter may overflow when the lid is closed.
4. Carefully close the lid. The automatic thermostat will regulate the temperature for consistent baking.
5. Cook for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy to your preference. Cooking time may vary based on batter type and desired crispness.
6. Once cooked, open the lid and carefully remove the waffles using a heat-resistant, non-metallic utensil (e.g., plastic or wooden spatula) to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
7. If making additional waffles, close the lid and allow the waffle maker to reheat briefly before adding more batter.
8. When finished, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your waffle maker.

• Always unplug the waffle maker from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or paper towel. For any baked-on batter, apply a small amount of cooking oil to soften the residue, then wipe clean with a soft cloth or paper towel.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• Never immerse the waffle maker in water or any other liquid. The exterior can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
• Ensure the appliance is completely dry before storing.
• Store the waffle maker in a clean, dry place.
