OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

3.Turn the control dial clockwise from the OFF position to the desired browning setting – setting #1 for the lightest color waffles and setting #6 for the darkest color waffles. We recommend using setting #3 for golden brown waffles.

The red indicator light will turn on to signal that the power is on. Allow the waffle iron to heat. 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 odor 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 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 5 minutes to bake your waffle on setting #6.

7.When the waffles are ready, 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, 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.
