This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric 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.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL 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 detachable power-supply 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, and
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power cord is damaged, please call the Customer Service line listed in these instructions.

• Open the waffle maker by lifting the cool-touch handle (A).
• This appliance has no removable parts. Wipe the waffle plates and the outside with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust. Wipe dry with a soft cloth or paper towels.

PREHEATING THE WAFFLE MAKER

1. Before first use, condition the nonstick waffle plates by brushing or wiping a light coating of cooking oil (vegetable, canola or corn oil) onto the entire cooking surface. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel.
   Important: Do not use aerosol cooking spray because the chemicals that allow the spray to come out of the can will build up on the surface of the waffle plates and reduce their effectiveness.

2. Close the waffle maker by using the cool-touch handle.

3. Remove tie, unwind the cord and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.

4. The red power indicator light comes on and the waffle maker begins to preheat (B). This light remains illuminated until thewaffle maker is unplugged. Important: This waffle maker gets hot. When in use or until it has cooled completely do not touch any of the metal surfaces. Use the cool-touch handle to open and close the waffle maker.

5. Allow the appliance to preheat. The green temperature ready indicator light illuminates when the waffle maker is ready for use.
   Note: During the initial preheating, you may notice smoke and a slight odor. This is normal and should cause no concern.

Important: The green temperature ready indicator light next to the power indicator light, only lets you know when the waffle maker has reached the cooking temperature. It cycles on and off during cooking. It is not an indication that the waffle has finished cooking.

BAKING WAFFLES

2. Open the waffle maker by lifting the cool-touch handle, and pour about ¾ cup (177 ml) into the center of the lower waffle plate.

3. Close the waffle maker by using the cool-touch handle, but do not force it shut.
   Important: This waffle maker gets hot. When in use or until it has cooled completely, do not touch any of the metal surfaces. Use the cool-touch handle to open and close the waffle maker.

4. Wait 10 seconds. Turn the cool-touch handle to the right (clockwise) until the waffle maker is upside down (C). Note: There may be some condensation that will be visible on the outside of the waffle maker, this is normal.

5. Allow the waffle to cook until steaming subsides and the green waffle ready indicator light illuminates (about 3 to 4 minutes). For a crisper waffle cook the waffle a little longer.
   Note: Avoid opening the waffle maker while waffle is cooking. This may cause the waffle to stick or cook poorly.

6. When cooking is finished, turn the cool-touch handle to the left (counterclockwise).

7. Open the waffle maker and remove the waffle using a heat resistant nonstick spatula or tongs.
   Note: Do not use metal utensils to remove waffles. They may damage the nonstick surface.

8. Close the waffle maker and allow it to reheat before cooking another waffle. The green temperature ready indicator light illuminates when the waffle maker is ready for use.
   Note: If you have conditioned the waffle maker you may want to discard the first waffle as it may be too oily. (See step 1 in PREHEATING THE WAFFLE MAKER.)

• Fully cooked waffles freeze well. When cooled to room temperature, simply wrap individually in plastic wrap or place in freezer bag and close airtight. They can be kept frozen for several months.
• Packaged pancake mix, including the whole wheat variety make delicious waffles. Follow the package directions for waffles.
• Don’t use water to clean the nonstick waffle plates, simply allow it to cool and brush off any crumbs that may be left in the grids. Cotton swabs are handy for cleaning between the ridges.
• For lighter waffles, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to soft peaks and fold in just before cooking the waffles.
• For extra crispy waffles, add 2 to 3 Tbsp. of melted butter or oil to the batter.
• Waffles can be kept warm by placing them on a rack or a cookie sheet in a preheated oven set to 300ºF.
• Never stack cooked waffles; this makes them soggy.
• To reheat waffles, use your preheated toaster oven and set it to 350º F, for about 5 minutes.
• Using a waffle mix? Add some excitement! Just before cooking, stir in:
  • Mashed banana
  • Chopped walnuts, macadamia nuts, toasted almonds or pecans
  • Diced fruit, such as, apples, peaches, plums or berries
  • Well drained crushed pineapple
  • Chopped cooked bacon, ham or crumbled sausage
