• Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or waffle plates in water/liquid.
• Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Avoid circuit overload by not operating other high-wattage products on the same circuit.
• Do not plug/unplug with wet hands.
• Take precautions to prevent burns, fire, or property damage; the appliance generates heat and steam.
• Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• If the product falls into water, immediately unplug it. 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 for air circulation.
• Do not operate if the cord or plug is damaged, if it malfunctions, has been damaged, or dropped into water. No user-serviceable parts. Take to qualified service personnel.

Risk Reduction (Injury/Product Damage)

• Product is for indoor, non-commercial, non-industrial use for cooking waffles for human consumption only. Do not use outdoors or for any other purpose.
• To avoid a pinch hazard, keep fingers, hands, and other body parts clear of the top and bottom plates when closing.
• Always wear protective oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves.
• Do not allow the power cord to hang where it may be tripped over or pulled, and do not allow it to touch hot surfaces.
• Always operate on a flat, level, stable, heat-resistant surface.
• To disconnect, pull directly on the plug, not the power cord.

Special Instructions (Extension Cords)

A short power supply cord is provided. If using an extension cord:

• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as the product's.
• Arrange the cord so it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Before First Use

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

To Use

• CAUTION: Always wear protective oven mitts or gloves to avoid burns.
• NOTICE: Use only heat-resistant, non-metal utensils; metal utensils may scratch the cooking surface.
• NOTE: During the first use, light smoke may be emitted; this is normal and will subside.
• Lightly coat the waffle plates with cooking oil and close them by lowering the handle completely.
• Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. Red Power and green Ready indicator lights will illuminate. The green Ready Indicator will turn off when preheated.
• Open the plates and pour 3/4 to 1 cup of batter into the center of the bottom plate. Spread evenly. Close the lid. Cook time is 3-4 minutes.
• When the green Ready indicator illuminates, the waffle is ready. Remove with a non-metal utensil. If not cooked to liking, close lid to cook longer.
• To cook additional waffles, repeat steps 3 & 4, recoating plates with oil if necessary. Use a spray or brush to avoid touching hot plates.
• When finished, unplug from the electrical outlet. Clean as directed in "Care and Maintenance."

Tips

• For a hearty, healthier waffle, use whole grain flour. Add chocolate, fruit, nuts, seeds, etc.
• Stir or sift flour before measuring; level with a knife, do not pack.
• Keep cooked waffles crisp by placing them on a baking pan in a 200°F (93°C) heated oven, or on a wire rack.
• For light and fluffy waffles, don't over-mix the batter. Small lumps are fine.
• Refrigerated batter kept sealed will remain fresh for one or two days. It may thicken; add milk or water and remix before cooking. Cold batter may require additional cooking time.
• Recipes with butter, oil, or eggs produce crispier waffles that brown more easily.
• Buttermilk powder is a good substitute for fresh buttermilk.
• Close the top plate immediately after removing a cooked waffle to maintain proper baking temperature.

Care and Maintenance

• WARNING: Ensure the waffle maker is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
• NOTICE: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or pads.
• WARNING: Polarized plug (one blade wider). Fits polarized outlet one way. If it does not fit, reverse the plug. If still not fitting, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug.
• Cleaning:
  • Remove any remaining cooked batter. If difficult, add a small amount of cooking oil, let stand for five minutes, then remove.
  • Clean waffle plates and exterior surfaces by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth. Rinse sponge/cloth frequently. Let dry.
• Storing:
  • Ensure the unit is clean and dry. Wrap the power cord around the stand and store in a cool, dry location.
