SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If an 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 product;
2. the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Read all instructions and important safeguards.
• Carefully unpack the Mini Waffle Maker and remove all packaging and materials.
• Clean the baking plates with a damp cloth or sponge.
• Slightly grease the baking plates with a little cooking oil.

CAUTION: Take care to prevent water from running into the appliance. NEVER IMMERSE THE HEATING BODY OF THE WAFFLE MAKER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUIDS!

HOW TO USE

1. Preheat the Waffle Maker by closing the lid and plugging into a electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling the unit is heating up.
2. Prepare your ingredients while the appliance is preheating.
3. When the proper baking temperature is reached, the indicator light will turn off.
4. Lightly coat the top and bottom waffle grids with melted butter, vegetable oil, or non-stick cooking spray.
5. Pour batter onto the bottom grids of waffle maker. Ladle just enough batter to fill the lower grids so that the peak area of the grid is covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter to cover the grids.
6. Close lid. Do not force shut. Steam will release from between the waffle iron plates. Please ensure that fingers do not come into contact with the steam.
7. Cover will rise slightly as waffles begin to bake. Do not open cover while steam is escaping. Most waffle recipes bake in approximately 5-6 minutes.
8. When waffles are done, remove with a non-metallic utensil so as not to scratch the non-stick finish.
9. Unplug power cord from wall outlet.

NOTE
When your waffle maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal and does not affect the safety of your appliance. However, it may affect the flavor of the first set of waffles prepared in your waffle maker, and it is recommended to discard these.

WAFFLE BAKING TIPS

1. Do not over mix the batter or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.

2. The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid of waffle maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid about ¾ to 1 cup.

3. For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer edge of grid, using a heat proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before closing the lid.

4. Cake-based waffles, such as Chocolate Waffles, are more tender than regular waffles and may require more care when removing from waffle maker. Use a heat proof spatula to help lift waffles when removing from the waffle maker.

5. To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam from building up underneath.

6. When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven until ready to serve.
   HOW TO USE (cont.)

7. Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped individually by returning to hot waffle maker. Place waffle on grids so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes; watch carefully to prevent burning.

8. Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container, separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles in toaster oven, oven, or toaster until hot and crisp.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Always unplug waffle maker and allow it to cool before cleaning. There is no need to disassemble the waffle maker for cleaning. Never immerse the waffle maker in water or place in dishwasher.
2. Brush away loose crumbs from the grooves. Wipe grids clean with a paper towel, absorbing any oil or butter that may have accumulated in the grooves of the grid. You can also wipe grids with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
3. Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.
4. Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil onto the hardened batter. Let sit for 5 minutes to soften batter, then wipe off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
5. Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles; they can damage the non-stick surface.
6. Store in closed position. Use cord wrap on the bottom of unit for cord storage.

CAUTION
Unplug from electric outlet and allow waffle maker to cool thoroughly before cleaning.
