Before First Use

Open the unit by lifting up the handle.
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the cooking surfaces and let dry.

To Use

CAUTION – Always wear protective oven mitts or gloves when using this product to avoid a burn hazard.
NOTICE – Use only heat-resistant, non-metal utensils with this product; metal utensils may scratch the cooking surface.
NOTE – During the first use, this product may emit some light smoke. This is normal and will subside with further use.

Lightly coat the waffle plates with cooking oil and close them by lowering the handle completely.
Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The power ready indicator light will illuminate, indicating the unit is heating. When the waffle maker has preheated, the ready indicator light will turn off.
Open the plates and pour batter (enough to fill the bottom plate) into the center of the bottom plate. Use a utensil to spread the batter evenly. Close the lid. Cook time is 3-4 minutes.
When the ready indicator illuminates, the waffle is ready. If the waffle is cooked to your liking, use a non-metal utensil to remove it. If not, close the lid again to cook the waffle longer.
To cook additional waffles at this time, repeat Steps 3 & 4, lightly recoating the plates with cooking oil if necessary. Use a spray or basting brush to avoid touching the hot plates.
When finished using, unplug from the electrical outlet. Clean as directed in the “Care and Maintenance” section.

Tips:

For a hearty, healthier waffle, use an equivalent amount of whole grain flour in place of white flour. Add chocolate, fruit, nuts, seeds, etc. Experiment!
Stir or sift flour before measuring it, as it settles when it sits. Use the back of a knife to level off the flour in a measuring cup; don’t pack it down.
When serving several waffles at a time, keep cooked waffles crisp by placing them on a baking pan in a 200˚F (93˚C) heated oven. Another way to maintain crispiness (without the use of an oven) is to place the waffles on a wire rack instead of on a flat surface.
For light and fluffy waffles, don’t over-mix the batter. Some small lumps in the batter are fine. Waffles made from smooth batters may be tough. Refrigerated batter kept in a tightly-sealed container will remain fresh for one or two days.
It will also thicken, so you may have to add some milk or water (depending on the recipe) and remix the batter before cooking. Cold batter may also require additional cooking time to reach the desired brownness.
Waffle recipes that include butter, oil, or eggs will produce crispier waffles that brown more easily than those made from batters without these ingredients.
When recipes call for fresh buttermilk, buttermilk powder is a good substitute. Use the powder as instructed on the package.
Close the top plate immediately after removing a cooked waffle to maintain the proper baking temperature for additional waffles.

Care and Maintenance

WARNING: Make sure the waffle maker is unplugged and allowed to completely cool before cleaning it.
NOTICE: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or pads on the product.
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in 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 modify the plug in any way.

Cleaning:

Remove any remaining cooked batter. If some is difficult to remove, add a small amount of cooking oil to it and let it stand for about five minutes and then remove.
Clean the waffle plates and exterior surfaces by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth. Rinse the sponge/cloth a few times during cleaning so that it’s clean when wiping all surfaces. Let dry.
Do not place in a dishwasher.

Storing:
For storage, make sure the unit is clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry location.
