Additional Important Safeguards
CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and
escaping steam during use. Proper precautions must be
taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires or other damage to
persons or property.
CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains
heat for some time after removing plug from wall outlet.
Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and
allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place
anything on top of the Waffle Maker while it is operating or
while it is hot.
1. All users of this appliance must read and understand this Owner’s
Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.
2. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC
electrical outlet only.
3. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately
unplug the cord. Do not attempt to repair the malfunctioning
appliance.
4. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If a longer extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of
the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-
PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the
finish of the counter top or table top.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent
blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

Polarized Plug
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 in
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.

Operating Instructions
Before Using For The First Time
IMPORTANT: Before using for the first time, operate the
appliance without batter in order to burn off residues on
the Cooking Plates.
To avoid burns, caution should be taken when handling the
Waffle Maker.
1. Carefully unpack Waffle Maker.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Never
immerse in water.
3. To burn off residues on the Cooking Plates, it will be necessary
to operate the unit for a few minutes before initial use. Do not
add batter or oil during this time.
4. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat countertop surface,
where it can be easily plugged into an electrical outlet.
5. You will notice smoke and a slight odor while residues burn off.
6. Allow the Waffle Maker to operate until smoke and odor
dissipate; then unplug Waffle Maker and allow it to cool.
Be careful, the Cooking Plates will be hot!
NOTE: Some odor may still be detected during initial use; this
is normal and should disappear after one or two uses.

How To Use Your Waffle Maker
1. Be sure the Cooking Plates are clean and free from dust.
If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth.
2. When using the Waffle Maker for the first time, brush the
Cooking Plates with cooking oil.
NOTE: The Waffle Maker is coated with a non-stick surface.
Do not use spray-on oils, grease or shortening, as they
can cause build-up on the Cooking Plates. Use cooking
oil instead.
3. Close the Lid.
4. Plug appliance into a suitable 120V AC electrical outlet; the
Cook Light will illuminate, indicating the unit has begun heating.
5. While preparing batter, allow appliance to pre-heat (about
5 minutes). The Cook Light will go off when unit has reached
the proper temperature.
6. Open Waffle Maker and pour batter evenly to cover the Cooking
Plates. Be careful not to pour too much batter, as excess batter
will seep out of Cooking Plates.
7. Carefully close the Waffle Maker. Do not force shut. Steam
will be released between the Cooking Plates. Caution
should be taken to prevent hands from coming into contact
with the steam.
8. Cooking time should take approximately 3-5 minutes. Exact
cooking time will be a matter of your taste and will depend on
type of batter and ingredients used. The Cook Light turns on
and off as the unit cycles to maintain ideal heating temper-
atures; this prevents overheating. Avoid opening your Waffle
Maker before cooking is completed, as this may cause the
waffle to stick or bake poorly.
9. When the waffles are cooked, remove them by using a plastic
or wooden spatula. Do not use metal tongs or knives, as these
may damage the non stick coating.
10. Keep the Waffle Maker closed to preserve the heat until ready
for the next batch of waffles.
11. After use, immediately unplug from the electrical outlet.
12. If waffles are not to be consumed immediately, place the waffles
on a paper napkin to absorb condensation. To keep hot, place
on a rack in an ovenproof dish and warm in the oven at about
200°-250°F. Waffles will keep for about 20 minutes and then
begin to dry out.

User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing
requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed
by a qualified appliance repair technician.
To Clean
CAUTION: Do not immerse the Waffle Maker, cord, or plug in
water or any other liquid.
Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning. Do not use steel wool,
scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as this will damage the finish.
Inside Cleaning: Wipe Cooking Plates with absorbent paper
toweling or a soft cloth. Although the Cooking Plates are coated
with a non-stick coating, some batter or ingredients may still adhere
to the Waffle Maker. To remove, simply pour a little cooking oil onto
the baked-on food. Allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. This should
soften the food and make it easy to remove with absorbent paper
toweling or a soft cloth. If the preceding measure fails to remove the
food residue, we suggest wiping the Cooking Plates with a slightly
dampened cloth and a little non-abrasive detergent.
Outside Cleaning: Wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.
To Store
Unplug unit and allow to cool. Store in its box or in a clean, dry
place. Never store it while it is hot or still plugged in. Never wrap
cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on cord
where it enters unit, as this could cause cord to fray and break.
Secure the two halves of the Waffle Maker with the Storage Latch.
The Waffle Maker can be placed in a vertical position (Handles
pointed up) for neat and compact storage.

Helpful Hints
• Sift all dry ingredients.
• Egg yolks should be separated from egg whites before mixing.
• Beating egg whites separately, and then folding into the batter,
will create lighter and crispier waffles.
• Egg whites should be beaten until they form stiff peaks. Stir
1/4 of beaten egg whites into batter to lighten it, then gently
fold the rest of the egg whites into the batter (there should be
white streaks in the batter). Do not over-mix batter when
adding egg whites.
• It is not necessary to beat egg yolks and milk separately; just
add to the combined flour mixture, and use a whisk or hand
mixer to blend.
• Do not open the Waffle Maker during the first minute of baking,
or waffles will separate. Completely bake waffles before
removing them from the unit.
• When waffles are done, the Lid should lift open easily.
Lift the Lid gently. If Lid pulls, wait another minute and try
lifting it open again.
• Waffles can be made ahead of time, then refrigerated or frozen.
When ready to eat, just heat waffles in oven or toaster. This is
ideal when serving waffles to several people at once.
For Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Waffles
• All recipes work equally well with skim milk.
• Leave out egg yolks altogether. All leavening properties come
from the beaten egg whites.
• Use liquid vegetable oils, like canola, corn or sunflower, instead
of butter.
For Higher-Fiber Waffles
• Substitute 1/2-cup, or more, of whole wheat flour for white flour.
• Substitute 1/4-cup of wheat, or oat bran, for white flour.
For Sugarless Waffles
• Substitute 1 Tablespoon of thawed all-natural white grape or
apple juice, from concentrate, for each teaspoon of sugar. If
adding more than 1 Tablespoon of juice from concentrate, add
a little less milk.
