ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT DURING OPERATION AND RETAINS HEAT FOR SOME TIME AFTER PLUGGING OUT. ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT MATERIALS AND ALLOW METAL PARTS TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING. DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS OPERATING OR WHILE IT IS HOT.

NOTES ON THE CORD

A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTES ON THE PLUG

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 into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the countertop or tabletop 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.

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.

Product may vary slightly from illustrations.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Carefully unpack the Rotating Waffle Maker and remove all packaging and materials.
Before using your Waffle Maker for the first time, wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth to remove all dust, and then dry. Wipe outer surfaces with a slightly damp, soft cloth or sponge.

CAUTION: Take care to prevent water from running into the appliance.

Never immerse Rotating Waffle Maker BODY in water or any other liquids!
Set the appliance on a dry, clean, and flat surface.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Plug the unit into a 120 V AC electrical outlet. The unit will beep, and the POWER button will flash. Make sure the Rotating Waffle Maker’s bottom cooking plate is positioned flat and locked into a stable position. Before baking the first waffles of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top and bottom waffle plates with vegetable oil. Do not use non-stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the cooking plates.
- NOTE: When your Rotating Waffle Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal and should disappear after one or two uses. This does not affect the safety of the appliance. However, as it may affect the flavor of the first waffles prepared in the Waffle Maker, it is recommended that these be discarded.
Press POWER button and PREHEAT will start
The display will show default browning level (6) and the word PREHEAT will appear on the screen.
Press the up (+) or down (–) buttons to change the browning level from 1 to 8. Once the number stops blinking that’s the level you have selected.
Set the waffle temperature control to the desired setting. A lower setting produces a lighter browned waffle, while waffles made at a higher setting are darker and crispier. When preparing a recipe for the first time, set the control to the middle; then adjust according to preference. Recipes will vary in cook time and brownness; batters with more sugar will brown quicker. Note the perfect setting for each batter recipe for future use.
You can press MODE button to change from Browning Level to Time and you’ll see 4:00 on the screen. See table for a reference of browning level and time:

7. If you wish, you can press the up (+) or down (–) buttons to change cooking time 8. Once the waffle maker finishes preheating, the unit will beep 3 times and READY will appear on the screen indicating it’s time to start cooking. Open the lid, Pour or ladle 3/4 to 1 cup batter onto the bottom cooking plate. Add just enough batter to fill lower grid so that the peak area is covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter into the corners of the plate. Try not to overfill, batter will expand when cooked. The drip tray will catch any spilled-over batter. 9. After pouring the batter on the cooking plate, close the lid and then rotate the handle 180 degrees in a clockwise direction. 10. The LED will start countdown time in around 2 seconds. 11. Once the waffle maker finishes cooking the machine will beep and word READY will appear on the screen and LED shows time or setting you selected 12. Rotate the handle 180 degrees counterclockwise direction, gently open the lid and remove the waffle.

Note: when lifting the top cooking plate; if it pulls, continue cooking a bit more and test again. Simply press the up (+) button for 3 seconds to cook it for 30 more seconds.

Remove waffles from the cooking plates using non-metallic utensils.
The machine will be on standby for 30 minutes so you can continue cooking more waffles with not preheating time needed.
When baking is complete, unplug the power cord from electric outlet. Lift top cooking plate and allow to cool. Make sure the Rotating Waffle Maker’s bottom cooking plate is positioned flat and locked into a stable position.
Do not clean until unit has been fully cooled.
