Setup and First Use

1. Unpack the waffle maker and remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly.
3. Place the waffle maker on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
4. Plug the appliance into a standard electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is preheating.
5. Allow the waffle maker to preheat completely. The indicator light will turn off or change color (depending on the model) when it reaches the optimal cooking temperature.
6. For the first use, it is recommended to lightly grease the non-stick plates with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Operating Instructions

Making Waffles:

1. Ensure the waffle maker is preheated (indicator light is ready).
2. Open the lid and pour approximately 1/3 cup of waffle batter onto the lower cooking plate. Do not overfill to prevent overflow.
3. Close the lid and secure the safety lock.
4. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked to your desired crispness. The indicator light may cycle on and off during cooking.
5. Carefully open the lid and remove the cooked waffle using a heat-resistant, non-metallic utensil (e.g., silicone spatula). Do not use metal utensils as they can damage the non-stick coating.
6. Close the lid to allow the appliance to reheat for the next waffle.
