Plug the waffle maker into a wall outlet. The red power light will turn on, indicating the appliance is ready for pre-heating. 2. Set the control knob to your desired setting.

The green ready light will turn on when the appliance reaches the set temperature. Once pre-heated, cooking times will be faster. 4. When the green ready light turns on, using the handle latch, lift the top lit to the open position and apply a light layer of oil to the cooking plates. 5. Pour and spread the waffle batter evenly onto the lower plate so that the batter fills the lower plate and the peak areas of the plate are covered. 6. Using the handle latch, lower the top lid. The latch will fit over the lower handle to secure. User Manual | Waffle Maker | GWM438 7 USING YOUR WAFFLE MAKER USING YOUR WAFFLE MAKER 1. Allow the waffle maker to cook for 4-5 minutes, according to your recipe directions. The green ready light will flash on and off as the appliance maintains the set temperature. 2. Once the cooking time is done, open the latch and lift the top lid gently. If the waffles pull apart, continue cooking for another 30 seconds and test again. 3. Wearing oven mitts, remove waffles from the cooking plates using a non-metallic utensil. A wooden or heat-proof plastic spatula can be used to remove the waffles. NOTE: To avoid damage to the non-stick surface, never use any sharp, pointed, or metal objects. 4. Repeat all steps until all your waffles are cooked. 5. When finished cooking, set the heat to the lowest setting and unplug from wall outlet. 6. After the waffle maker has cooled, wipe with a damp cloth. 8 For customer service visit www.gourmia.com or call 888.552.0033 RECIPES Tips For Perfect Waffles 1. Stir your waffle batter only until large chunks of dry ingredients are dissolved. Over mixing the waffle batter can cause the waffles to be hard. 2. Set your control knob to your desired setting. The higher your setting, the darker your waffles will be. The color and crispness of the waffles also depends on the batter used. Experiment with the setting and different waffle batters to determine your ideal settings. 3. The exact amount of batter needed to make perfect full-sized waffles depends on the type and consistency of the batter. Use the same ladle or measuring cup each time to determine how much batter you need to fill the lower plate fully. 4. When making softer waffles, once they are cooked, make sure to cut the waffles into halves or in four quarters and support them with a spatula at the bottom so it is easier to take them out of the waffle maker, since softer waffles can break easily. 5. When making large batches to serve at once, you can keep the waffles fresh & crisp by placing them in a preheated oven at 200°F. 6. To avoid waffles with a moist base, keep the waffles on a wire cooling rack. This will retain the crispness of the waffles. 7. You can reheat your waffles in the waffle maker. Preheat the waffle maker on a low setting. Once preheated, place the waffles on the lower plate so they fit the grooves correctly, then close the waffle maker and heat for 1-2 minutes, checking every 30 seconds to avoid burning. 8. You can also freeze your waffles to eat later. After the freshly baked waffles have cooled completely, pack them in a covered container or plastic freezer bag. Make sure to separate the waffles with a sheet of wax paper between each waffle. To reheat the frozen waffles, place in a preheated oven, toaster oven, or toaster until they are hot. Storage Store the product carefully in a safe place like a cupboard, shelf, or countertop. Do not knock or drop it as this can damage the product. Make sure the unit is unplugged and fully cooled. Secure the lid shut with the latch. Store waffle maker in its box or stand unit on its end for easy compact storage.
