OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.Adjust the temperature knob to the desired browning setting – setting #1 for the lightest color waffles and setting #6 for the darkest color waf- fles. We recommend setting #4 or #5 for golden brown waffles.

4.The red indicator light will turn on to signal that the power is on and the unit will begin to heat. We recommend preheating in the closed position. When the waffle maker has reached desired temperature, the green indicator light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. 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.

5.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.

6.Pour batter onto the center of the lower

waffle grid. We recommend using 1 heaping cup of batter. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter evenly over the grid. Close the lid.

The green light will turn off.

Note: During baking, you may notice steam releas- ing from the sides, front and back of the waffle maker. You may also notice the top cover rising during baking. These are both normal occurrences and are necessary for the crispy exterior and moist interior of your waffles.

7.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 #6.

8.When the waffles are ready, the green light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. Remove the waffles by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula or wooden spatula or non-stick coated tongs. Never use metal utensils, as they will damage the nonstick coating.

9.When you are finished baking, turn the tempera- ture knob to Off and 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 approximately

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 liquidS.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

STORAGE

Store with cord wrapped around the back of the unit. For compact storage, stand the unit on its back end with control panel facing up.
