Important Safeguards

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

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

[WARNING]

1. To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, discard all packaging materials immediately upon unpacking.
2. This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
3. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in 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.
4. DO NOT modify the plug in any way. DO NOT place appliance and let cord hang over edges of tables or counters.
5. DO NOT let the appliance touch hot surfaces.
6. DO NOT use the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
7. A short power cord is used to reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to reduce the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.
8. DO NOT use an extension cord.
9. DO NOT use an external timer or separate remote-control system.
10. To protect against electrical shock, DO NOT immerse cord, plug, or main unit housing in water or other liquid.
11. DO NOT use the appliance if there is damage to the power cord or plug. Regularly inspect the appliance and power cord. If the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Parts

A Main Unit

Description: The main body of the waffle maker, which houses the heating elements and controls. The power cord is attached but not shown in the diagram.

B Portion Cup

Description: A small metal cup with a handle, used for measuring and pouring batter. It has fill lines to prevent overflow. It is dishwasher safe. (To prevent overflow, DO NOT use more than 1 full cup).

Before First Use

1. Remove and discard any packaging material, stickers, and tape from the unit.
2. Remove all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions, warnings, and important safeguards to avoid any injury or property damage.
3. Wash the waffle plates with a damp, soapy cloth, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
4. We recommend turning the unit on and running it on shade 5 for 10 minutes without adding batter. Make sure the area is well ventilated. This removes any packaging residue and odor traces that may be present. This is completely safe and not detrimental to the performance of the waffle maker.
5. Season the waffle plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil to them. The use of cooking spray is NOT recommended unless otherwise indicated in the recipe provided in the Inspiration Guide.

Getting to Know the Waffle Maker

Batter Pour Spout: Located at the top, this is where batter is poured into the waffle maker.

Handle with Lock Button: Used to open and close the waffle maker. The lock button secures the lid when closed.

Control Panel: Features the Shade Select Dial and indicator lights.

Indication Lights: Show the status of the waffle maker (preheating, cooking, ready).

Waffle Plates: The non-stick cooking surfaces with a grid pattern that cook the waffles.

Using the Control Panel

Indicator Lights: Indicator lights will represent multiple stages throughout the cooking process.

• GREEN INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates preheating is complete OR Indicates cooking is complete.
• RED INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates waffle maker is preheating OR Indicates waffles are cooking.

Using the Waffle Maker

1. With the waffle maker closed, plug it in and turn it on by adjusting the shade selection dial to your desired shade setting. The red LED light will illuminate, indicating the waffle maker is preheating. NOTE: Allow unit to fully preheat prior to adding batter.
2. The green LED light will illuminate when the unit is preheated. Fill the portion cup with batter between the minimum fill line (3/4 cup) and top rim, then pour prepared batter into the top spout of the unit in one quick pour. Cooking will automatically begin after batter is added (the red LED light will illuminate to signal cooking has begun). NOTE: The exact amount of batter needed will vary depending on batter type, thickness and leavening agents used. We recommend starting with filling your portion cup to the minimum fill line and adjusting from there. DO NOT pour more than one full scoop (1 cup) of batter at one time.
3. The waffle is done cooking when the green LED light illuminates and the unit beeps. Push the lock button to open the waffle maker and remove the waffle with silicone-tipped tongs or other non-metal cooking utensil.
4. Close the waffle maker by pivoting the front up until it latches closed.
5. The waffle maker will automatically start preheating after each cycle. Wait for the green LED to indicate the preheat cycle is complete before starting to cook the next waffle.

TIP: If your waffle batter does not flow smoothly into the waffle maker, mix in a tablespoon of water or milk and try again.

Batter Measurement: Use the portion cup. Fill between the minimum fill line (approximately 3/4 cup) and the maximum fill line (1 cup) for a full waffle.

Cleaning

The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after every session.

1. Unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool completely.
2. Using a damp soapy cloth, clean the waffle plates, then wipe clean with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. DO NOT submerge the main unit in water or run under a faucet.
3. Avoid using metal cooking instruments or abrasives while cleaning to avoid damaging the waffle plates.
4. To clean the outside of the waffle maker, use a damp cloth. For best results, wipe up wet batter before it dries completely.
5. To clean between the narrow gaps in the waffle maker, ensure it is unplugged and scrape batter out using a damp cloth wrapped around the point of a nonmetal utensil.

Tips & Tricks

• Use the portion cup and fill above the minimum fill line to ensure a full waffle is made.
• When cooking multiple waffles back to back, keep the waffles warm in an oven set to 150°F (65°C).
• Using less than 1/2 cup of batter may cause the unit not to recognize that a cooking cycle should begin.
• DO NOT open the waffle maker during a cooking cycle when the RED LED is ON. It is natural for steam to escape from the unit.
• Solid mix-ins are not recommended with this waffle maker.
• For batter that is too thick to flow into the waffle maker, mix in 1 tablespoon of water to the batter and try again. Repeat until the batter flows smoothly and you get a full waffle.
• Uneaten waffles can be frozen for up to 3 weeks, if properly stored and reheated in a toaster.
• If food particles leak into the drip catch, wipe them away with a damp, soapy cloth.
• The portion cup can also be used as a 1-cup measuring cup.
• Excess batter will rise, filling the spout. This batter can be removed after the waffle is removed.

NOTE: To avoid the risk of overfilling your waffle maker, DO NOT pour more than 1 cup of batter into the waffle maker at once.
