OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the closed waffle maker on a clean,
flat surface where you intend to use it.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard
electrical outlet.
3. Move the temperature slide control to the
desired browning setting – setting #1 for
the lightest color waffles and setting #5 for
the darkest color waffles.
The red indicator light will turn on to signal that
the power is on and the unit will begin to heat.
When the waffle maker has reached desired tem
-
perature, the green indicator light will turn on. You
are now ready to begin.
Note: The first time you use your waffle maker it
may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This
is normal, and common to appliances with a
nonstick surface.
4. Lift lid of waffle maker by grasping the
handle and pushing up in one fluid motion.
Lid will stay open at a 105° position until
you lower it.
5. Pour batter onto the center of the lower
waffle grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to
spread batter evenly over the grid. Close
the lid. The green light will turn off but the
red light will stay illuminated.
6. Baking time is determined by the browning
level that you chose in Step 3. It may take
up to 6 minutes to bake your waffles on
setting #5.
7. When the waffles are ready, the green light
will turn on. Remove the waffles by gently
loosening the edges with a heat-proof
plastic spatula or wooden spatula. Never
use metal utensils, as they will damage the
nonstick coating.
8. When you are finished baking, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the
waffle maker to cool down completely
before handling.
CLEANING, CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Once you have finished baking, remove plug from
electrical outlet. Leave lid open so grids begin to
cool. Allow waffle maker to cool down completely
before handling.
Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning.
Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb
any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth
or paper towel.
You may also clean the grids by wiping with a
damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from
batter or oil buildup. Be certain grids have
cooled completely before cleaning. If batter
adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking
oil onto the baked batter and let stand approxi
-
mately 5 minutes, allowing it to soften for easy
removal.
To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Never
use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. NEVER
IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER
OR OTHER LIQUID. NEVER WASH UNDER TAP
WATER.
Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized
service representative.
STORAGE/
LOCKING LID
Store with cord wrapped
securely under base. For
compact storage, stand
waffle maker on back end
with control panel facing up.
The waffle maker has been designed with a spe

cial latching feature so the lid stays closed during
