ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

To insert plates

1.Place the closed unit on a clean, flat surface where you intend to use it.

2.Lift lid by grasping the

handle and pushing up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay open at a 105° posi- tion until you lower it.

3. Insert one plate at a time.

Waffle plates: Each plate is designed to fit in either the upper housing

or the lower housing of the waffle maker. The word lower or upper is embossed on the right side of each plate.

Pancake plate: The 4-slot plate is designed to fit in the lower housing only. The word LOWER is embossed on the right side of the plate. The flat plate is designed to fit in the upper housing only. The word UPPER is embossed on the right side of the plate.

4.Locate the two holes at the back of the hous- ing. Tilt the back end of the plate and line up the pegs at the back of the plate with the holes at the housing. Slide the plate underneath the holes and push down the front end of the plate. It will snap into place.

To remove plates

1.Locate the plate release buttons on the right side of the unit. Press firmly on button and the plate will pop up slightly from the base.

2.Grasp the plate with two hands, slide it out from the holes at the housing,

and lift it out of the base.

3.Press on the other plate release button to remove the second plate in the same manner.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

2.Adjust the temperature knob to the desired browning setting.

3.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 unit has reached desired temperature, the green indicator light will turn on and the audi- ble tone will sound. You are now ready to begin.

Note: The first time you use your unit it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to appliances with a nonstick surface.

4.Please refer to the Cooking Chart on pg. 7 for further details on preparing foods.

CLEANING AND CARE

When you are finished cooking, turn the tempera- ture knob to Off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool down com- pletely before handling.

Press the plate release buttons to remove plates from the housing. Be sure that the plates have cooled completely before handling (at least 30 min- utes). The plates can be washed in the dishwasher. Do not use metallic objects such as knives or forks for cleaning. Do not use a scouring pad for cleaning. The nonstick coating can be damaged.

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.
