• Do not plug or unplug the product into/from an electrical outlet with a wet hand.
• Take proper precautions to prevent the risk of burns, fire, or other personal or property damage as this appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use.
• Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• If the product falls into water, immediately unplug it from the electrical outlet. Do not touch or reach into the water.
• Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep at least 4-6 inches of space on all sides to allow adequate air circulation.

CAUTION - To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or product/property damage:

• This product is intended solely for indoor, non-commercial, non-industrial use in the cooking of waffles for human consumption. Do not use the product outdoors or for any other purpose.
• To avoid a pinch hazard, make sure fingers, hands, and other body parts are clear of the top and bottom plates when closing them.
• Always wear protective oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when using this product.
• Do not allow the power cord to hang (e.g., over the edge of a table or counter) where it may be tripped over or pulled, and do not allow it to touch hot surfaces.
• Always operate the product on a flat, level, stable, heat-resistant surface.
• To disconnect from the electrical outlet, pull directly on the plug; do not pull on the Power Cord.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of 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 must be at least as great as that of the product.
• Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Before First Use

1. Open the unit by lifting up the handle.
2. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the cooking surfaces and let dry.

To Use

CAUTION - Always wear protective oven mitts or gloves when using this product to avoid a burn hazard.

NOTICE - Use only heat-resistant, non-metal utensils with this product; metal utensils may scratch the cooking surface.

NOTE - During the first use, this product may emit some light smoke. This is normal and will subside with further use.

1. Lightly coat the waffle plates with cooking oil and close them by lowering the handle completely.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The red Power and green Ready indicator lights will illuminate, indicating the unit is heating. When the waffle maker has preheated, the green Ready Indicator will turn off.
3. Open the plates and pour 3/4 to 1 cup of batter (enough to fill the bottom plate) into the center of the bottom plate. Use a utensil to spread the batter evenly. Close the lid. Cook time is 3-4 minutes.
4. When the green Ready indicator illuminates, the waffle is ready. If the waffle is cooked to your liking, use a non-metal utensil to remove it. If not, close the lid again to cook the waffle longer.
5. To cook additional waffles at this time, repeat Steps 3 & 4, lightly recoating the plates with cooking oil if necessary. Use a spray or basting brush to avoid touching the hot plates.
6. When finished using, unplug from the electrical outlet. Clean as directed in the "Care and Maintenance" section.

Tips

• For a hearty, healthier waffle, use an equivalent amount of whole grain flour in place of white flour. Add chocolate, fruit, nuts, seeds, etc. Experiment!
• Stir or sift flour before measuring it, as it settles when it sits. Use the back of a knife to level off the flour in a measuring cup; don't pack it down.
• When serving several waffles at a time, keep cooked waffles crisp by placing them on a baking pan in a 200°F (93°C) heated oven. Another way to maintain crispiness (without the use of an oven) is to place the waffles on a wire rack instead of on a flat surface.
• For light and fluffy waffles, don't over-mix the batter. Some small lumps in the batter are fine. Waffles made from smooth batters may be tough. Refrigerated batter kept in a tightly-sealed container will remain fresh for one or two days. It will also thicken, so you may have to add some milk or water (depending on the recipe) and remix the batter before cooking. Cold batter may also require additional cooking time to reach the desired brownness.
• Waffle recipes that include butter, oil, or eggs will produce crispier waffles that brown more easily than those made from batters without these ingredients.
• When recipes call for fresh buttermilk, buttermilk powder is a good substitute. Use the powder as instructed on the package.
• Close the top plate immediately after removing a cooked waffle to maintain the proper baking temperature for additional waffles.

Care and Maintenance

WARNING: Make sure the waffle maker is unplugged and allowed to completely cool before cleaning it.

NOTICE: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or pads on the product.

Cleaning:

1. Remove any remaining cooked batter. If some is difficult to remove, add a small amount of cooking oil to it and let it stand for about five minutes and then remove.
2. Clean the waffle plates and exterior surfaces by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth. Rinse the sponge/cloth a few times during cleaning so that it's clean when wiping all surfaces. Let dry.
3. Hand wash the drip tray with soap and water, and dry. Do not place in a dishwasher.

Storing:

For storage, make sure the unit is clean and dry. Wrap the power cord around the stand and store in a cool, dry location.
