OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the closed waffle iron on a clean, flat
surface where you intend to bake.
2. Plug the power cord in a standard electrical
outlet.
3. Turn the control dial clockwise from the
OFF position to the desired browning setting.
Setting #1 for the lightest colour waffles and
setting #6 for the darkest colour waffles.
We recommend using setting #3 for golden
brown waffles.
The red indicator light will turn on to signal
power. Allow the waffle iron to preheat.
When the waffle iron has reached desired
temperature, the green indicator light will turn
on and the audible tone will sound. You are
now ready to begin baking.
Note: The first time you use your waffle
iron it may have a slight odour and may
smoke a bit. This is normal, and common
to appliances with a nonstick surface.
4. Lift lid of waffle iron by grasping the handle
and pushing back and up in one fluid motion.
Lid will stay open at 105° position until you
lower it.
5. Pour batter onto the centre of the lower waffle
grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread
batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid.
The waffle iron will automatically latch shut
when you lower 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 5 minutes to bake your waffle on
setting #6.
7. When the waffles are ready to eat, the green
light will turn on and the audible tone will
sound. Remove 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, turn the
control dial counterclockwise to the OFF
setting. The red indicator light will turn off.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Allow the waffle iron to cool down completely
before handling.
CLEANING AND CARE
Once you have finished baking, turn the control
dial to the OFF position and remove plug from
electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids
begin to cool. Allow waffle iron to cool down
completely before handling.
Never take your waffle iron 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, thus 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.
