Important Safeguards

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

• Read all instructions before use.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• WARNING: To protect against electric shock, fire, and personal injury:
  • Do not immerse cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids.
  • Do not immerse the appliance or any electrical components in water or any other liquids.
  • Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from wall 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. Call customer assistance for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injuries to persons.
• Do not use outdoors or in a damp area.
• Do not place the appliance close to the edge of the countertop.
• Do not let power cord hang over edge of 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. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touches flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
• When using this appliance, provide 6 - 8 inches of air space above, behind, and on both sides for air circulation.
• It is recommended to use a heat-resistant mat underneath the appliance to avoid any heat damage to your counter or furniture.
• Do not use the appliance with open waffle plates.
• To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
• Never pull on the power cord to disconnect the appliance from the wall outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
• Let the appliance cool completely before putting away or storing.
• Never leave the appliance unattended during use.

Additional Safeguards

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
  • The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
• Polarized plug
  This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• Do not let children handle or put the electrical cord into their mouths.

Operation

WARNING: Always use an oven mitten to protect your hand when handling the appliance. Escaping steam can burn and the appliance housing is hot.

Before First Use

• Remove all packaging materials and/or other transportation means.
• Check package content to verify it is complete and undamaged. Do not operate the appliance if the content is incomplete or appears damaged. Return it immediately.
• Danger of suffocation! Packaging materials are not toys. Always keep plastic bags, foils, and foam parts away from babies and children. Packaging material could block airways and prevent breathing.
• Clean your appliance and all accessories thoroughly before using for the first time (refer to Cleaning and Maintenance section).
• When using the appliance for the first time, it is recommended to operate it for at least 5 minutes until no odor or smoke is present. During use, ensure ample ventilation.
• Let the appliance cool completely.
• Clean the appliance (refer to Cleaning and Maintenance section).

NOTE: The appliance may produce an odor and/or emit smoke when switched on for the first time, as residues from the production process are eliminated. This is normal and does not indicate a defect or hazard.

Using the Appliance

This appliance is designed for making waffles and is not intended for any other use.

NOTE: The appliance has a rated power of 1080W. Before plugging it into the wall outlet, ensure that the electrical circuit is not overloaded with other appliances. This appliance should always be operated on a separate 120V ~ 60Hz wall outlet.

• Make sure the lid (1) is closed before connecting the appliance into the wall outlet.
• Place the appliance on a clean, flat, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure a minimum distance around the appliance of at least 6 - 8 inches to other objects, cupboards, and walls (see illustration a).
• Connect the plug (3) into a wall outlet (see illustration b). The POWER indicator (6) will turn on. The appliance will now heat-up to operating temperature.
• Leave the lid (1) closed to reduce heat-up time. Once the operating temperature has been reached, the READY indicator (5) will turn on. The heat-up time will take about 3 - 5 minutes.
• Lift the lid (1) by its handle (7), placing it in the open position (fully opened) (see illustration c).

WARNING:

• Do not touch the waffle plates (8, 9) (see illustration d) and/or the lid (1) surface (see illustration e).
• Never let the power cord (3) come in contact with the lid (1) or waffle plates (8, 9) during use (see illustration f).

Baking Waffles

• Apply cooking spray or spray butter on the upper and lower waffle plates (8, 9).
• Using a suitable cup/mug, pour less than a cup of batter onto the lower waffle plate (9) (see illustration g).

NOTE: Do not overfill the lower waffle plate (9), as any excess batter may leak out of the appliance.

• Carefully lower the lid (1) by its handle (7) (see illustration h). Make sure the appliance is fully closed.

NOTE: Waffles take about 3 - 6 minutes, depending on recipe, or once no more steam is being emitted. When the waffle is ready, the READY indicator (5) will turn on. Do not open the lid (1) within the first few minutes, as this may cause the waffle to tear. In case the waffle needs to be cooked for longer, keep the lid (1) closed for a little longer. The READY indicator (5) will turn on and off several times to ensure constant temperature. Avoid spoiling food by keeping it for too long within the plates.

• Open the lid (1) and remove the waffles using a plastic or wooden utensil (see illustration i).

NOTE: Never use metal utensils, as these will damage the nonstick coating. Adapt the cooking time based on the result of your first batches of waffles.

• After removing the waffles, keep the lid (1) closed. Wait for the READY indicator (5) to light up again, indicating the operating temperature has been reached, before repeating the previous steps to bake more waffles.
• Once you have finished using the appliance, disconnect the plug (3) from the wall outlet (see illustration j). Both indicator lights will switch off.
• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before handling again.
