Other Consumer Safety Information

This product is intended for household use only.

  • WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
  • The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
  • To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
  • Before first use: Wipe the bottom and top waffle grids with a soapy, damp cloth. Rinse cloth; then wipe grids again. Wipe or brush waffle grids with vegetable oil. This is only recommended before first use. Waffle browning will improve with each subsequent batch.

Parts and Features

  • CAUTION Hot Surface. The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.
  • NOTE: The Red POWER Light comes on when the appliance is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is unplugged.
  • The Green READY Lights come on when the appliance has reached the desired temperature. For best results, wait until Green READY Lights come on before adding waffle batter. These lights will cycle on and off during baking and are not an indication that the waffle is ready.

How to Use

  1. Plug cord into electrical outlet. The Red POWER Light will glow.

  2. Close cover and wait until the Green READY Light comes on.

  3. Raise Cover. Pour 3/4 cup batter into center of the Grids, allowing batter to spread for even filling. Lower Cover.
    Tip: Adjust amount of batter as needed.

  4. Turn Handle clockwise to flip Waffle Maker and lock into place within 10 seconds of closing Cover. Waffles are done in about 3–5 minutes, depending on the recipe, when the green READY lights come on, or when steaming begins to stop. Cook time may be reduced when making multiple batches.

  5. Using an oven mitt, turn Handle counterclockwise and open Cover. Remove waffle with plastic or wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick coating of the appliance. Unplug unit when through cooking. Let cool.

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

Care and Cleaning

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any liquid.

  1. Unplug unit and allow to cool.
  2. Wipe Waffle Grids and outside of unit with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse 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.
  3. Wash Drip Tray in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
  4. For storing: Allow the appliance to cool down completely. Lock the Cover by rotating the Handle.

Waffle-making Tips

  • For variety, try using your Waffle Maker to make French toast waffles or hash browns.
  • Save additional time in the morning by preparing waffle batter the night before and refrigerating it. Make sure waffle batter reaches room temperature before use. Using fresh batter results in fluffier waffles.
  • If your waffles start to stick, the Grids may need to be scrubbed with a nylon brush to remove any cooked-on food particles.
  • If using nuts in waffle batter, use chopped nuts and/or evenly spread batter to allow Cover to fully close.
  • Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200ºF (93ºC) oven.
  • Most waffles are done in about 5 minutes. Some of the recipes which are made from scratch may take a little longer. Check for doneness at about 5 minutes. If the Cover of the Waffle Maker doesn’t lift up easily, then let the waffle cook a minute more before checking again.
  • To store, let waffles cool and pack in an airtight container; store in refrigerator or freezer for reheating later.
  • Reheat in a microwave oven, toaster oven, or regular oven.

Troubleshooting

Waffle Maker will not turn on or POWER Light is not illuminated.

  • Check to make sure it is plugged into an electrical outlet. If not, plug into working electrical outlet.

Waffle taking too long to cook or waffle not done.

  • Check recipe for waffle cooking time. Waffles are cooked when steaming stops.
  • Slightly lift Cover; if waffle starts to release it is cooked. If it doesn’t, continue to cook 1 to 2 minutes.

Difficulty closing Cover.

  • Reduce amount of mix-ins. Nuts or chocolate chips may make the Cover difficult to close if you do not spread the batter in the unit evenly when pouring batter onto Grids.

Waffle sticking to Grids.

  • Spray a small amount of cooking spray on Grids before preheating.
  • Waffle isn’t fully cooked. Wait until steaming stops to remove waffle.
  • Grids need to be cleaned. Clean Grids after each use.
