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 unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC outlet only.
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.

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). 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 manu- facturing residue burns off. This is normal during initial use.
2. While unit is preheating, prepare waffle batter.
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 apply oil. 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
5. Set the timer by pressing the button (Fig. A) to the desired time. See the recipes on pages
