Important Cord Information

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Getting Acquainted

Before using for the first time, become familiar with the waffle maker features (Fig. A). Wipe the waffle grids with a damp cloth before initial use.

Before Using

The timer on your waffle maker operates with one AAA battery which is included with the product. It can be found in the foam filler. Take the battery out of the filler and remove the protective sleeve that is on the battery. Then install the battery in the waffle maker before the first use.

on the bottom of the unit below the waffle

and lift the cover off (Fig. A1). Insert the AAA battery into the compartment matching the + and – symbols with the corresponding
symbols on the housing (Fig. A2). Replace the cover over the battery and press it towards the bottom of the unit to lock it in place.
To make sure you have installed the battery correctly, check the timer display to see that 000 is displayed.

How To Use

1.	Place the unit on the countertop so the timer display is facing towards you and the cover is closed	Fig. B
	(Fig. B). Plug the cord into an outlet and preheat the waffle maker in the closed position. The
	signal light will glow (Fig. A). When the unit has reached the correct temperature, the light will
	go out indicating the unit is ready for use. Preheat time is short – approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
	During cooking, the light will go on and off indicating temperature is being maintained.
	Note: When using the waffle maker for the first time, a slight odor or smoking may occur as
	manufacturing residue burns off. This is normal during initial use.
2.	While unit is preheating, prepare waffle batter.	Fig. C

3.Before the first use after the unit has preheated, use a brush or paper towel and apply a light coating of cooking oil to the grids. The oil seasons the grids and thereafter you typically will not need to ap- ply oil every time, unless you are making a dessert waffle. If you find it difficult to remove a waffle, be sure to apply a light coating of cooking oil during your next use.

4.Pour approximately ¾ to 1 cup waffle batter into the center of the bottom waffle grid (Fig. C). The amount of waffle batter needed may vary with the recipe or brand of batter mix used. If using the recipes in this booklet (pages 6 and 7), refer to them for the recommended amount of batter.

5.Set the timer by pressing the minutes and seconds buttons (Fig. A) to the desired time. See the recipes on pages 6 and 7 for recommended cooking times. Most waffle recipes will take about 4 minutes.

Note: The timer has a delay start; it will automatically begin counting down approximately 5 seconds after it is set.

To reset the timer, simply hold the minutes or seconds button for a couple of seconds and the timer will reset to zero.
