This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children shall not make cleaning and user maintenance unless they are supervised. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

How to Use

WARNING Burn Hazard. Always use an oven mitt to protect hand when opening a hot waffle maker. Escaping steam can burn.

Before first use: Wipe the bottom 4. and top Waffle Grids with a soapy, damp cloth. Rinse cloth; then wipe Grids again.

Plug cord into electrical outlet. The red POWER light comes on.
Preheat with cover closed until green READY light comes on.
Raise Cover and pour about 1/4 cup (59 mL) of batter into bottom Waffle Grid. Lower Cover.
Once you pour the batter on Grid, green READY light will turn off when heating. Light will cycle on and off and does not indicate that waffle is done.
Waffles are done in about 2 to 3 minutes, depending on recipe, or when steaming begins to stop. Remove waffle with plastic or wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick coating.
Unplug when finished cooking and let cool completely before storing.

POWER and READY Lights

Red POWER light comes on when Waffle Maker is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is unplugged.
Green READY light comes on when Waffle Maker has reached ideal temperature to add batter. For best results, wait until READY light comes on before adding the waffle batter. Green READY light will cycle on and off when heating and does not indicate that waffle is done.

Waffle Maker Tips

Most waffle recipes can be poured directly onto the Nonstick Waffle Grids. Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles or any recipe with a lot of sugar. If your waffles start to stick, Grids may need to be scrubbed with a nylon brush to remove any cooked-on food particles.
Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven.
To store waffles, let cool and then pack in an airtight container. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Waffles can be reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, a toaster, or a regular oven.
Most waffles are done in about 2 to 3 minutes. Check for doneness when steaming begins to stop. If the cover doesn’t lift easily, let waffle cook a minute more before checking again.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or base in water or any other liquid.

Unplug from the outlet and let it cool.
Wipe Waffle Grids and outside of the unit with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse the cloth and wipe Grids again.
Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleansers on any part of the unit. Never use sharp or pointed objects for cleaning purposes.

Recipe
TIP: Waffles can be frozen and then reheated. Make a large batch ahead of time and let cool on a cooling rack. Freeze in airtight storage bags; then heat in a microwave oven, a toaster, or a regular oven.
