Instructions for the Electrical Cord and Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical 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 is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a long cord.
If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
• Extension cords can be used if care is exercised in their use.
• The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• When using a longer cord or extension cord, make sure that the cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tripped over unintentionally.
The manufacturer does not recommend using this machine in countries that do not support 120V AC even if a voltage adapter, transformer, or converter is in use.

HOW TO OPERATE

Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Remove all protective paper and wrapping.
Find a dry, level surface near an electrical outlet.
Preheat the appliance by closing the lid and plugging into an electrical outlet.
The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating up.
Prepare your ingredients while the appliance is preheating.
When the indicator light shuts off the unit is ready to cook.
Raise the lid using the handle. Use an oven mitt or pot holder to prevent accidental burns.
Spray the upper and lower cooking surfaces with a non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat with a small amount of vegetable oil.
NOTE: The oil helps protect the non-stick quality of the cooking surfaces.
Carefully pour batter into the center of the lower cooking surface.
NOTE: The amount of waffle batter needed may vary based on the recipe or brand of batter mix used. Do not allow the batter to overflow.
Close the lid using the handle and allow to cook.
NOTE: Cooking time will vary based on the recipe or brand of batter mix used.
CAUTION: Steam may release from appliance during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact with steam as it is very hot and can cause burns.
Once waffle is cooked to your preference, raise the lid using the handle. Remove the waffle using a heat-resistant nylon, silicone or wooden cooking utensil.
NOTE: Do not use metal utensils, as they may scratch and damage the cooking surfaces.
If cooking more than one batch in a session, be sure to lower the lid in between batches to maintain the proper cooking temperature.
As soon as you are finished cooking, unplug appliance and allow to cool.

HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.

Smoking

During first use, you may notice slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal with most new appliances. The smoking and odor is caused by the residues burning off the non-stick cooking plates. Allow the appliance to preheat until smoke and odor no longer exists.

Non-stick Cooking Plates

For each use, it is recommended that you coat the cooking plates with a non-stick cooking spray or with a small amount of vegetable oil. This will help preserve the longevity of your appliance.
Only use heat-resistant nylon, silicone or wooden utensils when operating this unit. Metal utensils can scratch or damage the non-stick cooking plates.

Cooking Tips

For healthier waffles, substitute whole grain flour for white flour.
To keep waffles crisp when reheating, always reheat in an oven instead of a microwave. Preheat oven to 200˚ F and bake on a baking sheet or wire rack.
DO NOT over-mix batter. Batter should be slightly lumpy so that waffles will be light and fluffy when cooked.
You can store batter in a tightly-sealed container and refrigerate. Refrigerated batter will remain fresh for up to two days. Because cold batter will thicken, you may need to add a little milk or water to the batter before cooking.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Please take care of your WAFFLE MAKER by following these simple cleaning directions.

Disconnect appliance from the electrical outlet and allow to cool completely.
Using a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth, wipe down the exterior or the appliance, as well as the upper and lower non-stick cooking surfaces.
Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. Dry with a clean cloth.
DO NOT put any parts in a dishwasher.
NEVER immerse appliance or electrical cord in water.
