SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or unit body in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Chefman® Customer Service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman® may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING: 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.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement 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 longer detachable power-supply 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 appliance.
2. The 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.

Operating Instructions

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packing materials and any removable stickers from the inside and outside of the waffle maker except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit. Be sure that all accessories are accounted for before throwing away any packaging.
2. Gently wipe down the exterior and interior with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any packaging residue. Dry completely. CAUTION: Never immerse the waffle maker, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid; do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
3. Wash the measuring cup with warm, soapy water and a sponge. Dry completely. The measuring cup is not dishwasher safe.

HOW TO USE THE WAFFLE MAKER
With the waffle maker’s double cooking plates and batter overflow channels, it’s easy to make twice the amount of thick, light, and crisp waffles with no mess.

1. Prepare your waffle batter.

2. Place the closed waffle maker on a flat, dry surface with room on all sides.

3. Unwind the power cord completely and plug in the waffle maker. The two red POWER lights will illuminate, and the waffle maker will begin preheating.
   NOTE: When using the waffle maker for the first time, a slight odor or smoking might occur. This is normal and will dissipate with use.

4. Use the Shade Setting Knobs to select your desired shade setting for each plate. You can choose the same shade for both plates or two different shades, depending on preference. There are 7 shade settings, from MIN (lightest) to MAX (darkest). The higher the setting, the higher the cooking temperature and the darker and crisper the waffle will be.

5. When the waffle maker is fully heated, after about 3 minutes, the two green READY lights will illuminate, indicating the waffle maker is ready to use. If the plates are set for different shades, the READY lights will illuminate at slightly different times.

6. Carefully open the lid of one of the plates by lifting the handle. Be careful not to touch the hot plates. If desired, use a non-aerosol nonstock spray or brush the plates with a small amount of cooking oil instead. NOTE: Never use aerosol spray on the waffle maker’s cooking plates. It will cause buildup over time, which may cause sticking.

7. Use the included measuring cup to scoop the batter. Use approximately ½ cup (4 fl oz) of batter per waffle, adjusting the amount as needed to prevent overflow. NOTE: The measuring cup’s handle is designed so it can rest on the side of the batter bowl to prevent batter from dripping on your counter.

8. Pour the batter onto the center of the bottom cooking plate, scraping the measuring cup with a spatula to remove every bit of batter. Close the lid. CAUTION: Hot steam escapes from the sides of the waffle maker during cooking and can potentially cause burns. Keep away from the steam.

9. Repeat steps 6­8 to make a waffle on the other cooking plate.

10. The green READY lights will turn off while the waffles are cooking. (They will come back on when the waffles are done.) NOTE: The lids may lift slightly during cooking as the batter rises. This is normal. Do NOT push the handles down to close.

11. When a green READY light comes back on (in 1½ to 3 minutes), carefully open the corresponding lid. If the waffle is not as dark as you like it, simply close the lid and cook a minute or two longer. NOTE: The two READY lights may not illuminate at the same time, particularly if each plate has a different shade setting selected. You can open the lid of one plate even if the READY light on the other plate is not yet illuminated.

12. Use silicone-tipped or wooden tongs to remove the cooked waffles. (Do not use metal utensils, as they can scratch the nonstick surface.)

13. To make more waffles, brush away any crumbs left in the plates, then close the lids. You can use the same shade settings for the next batch or adjust them, if desired. Let the waffle maker reheat until the green READY lights come back on, then repeat steps 6­12.

14. When finished making waffles, unplug the waffle maker to turn it off. Let it cool completely before cleaning and storing in a cool, dry place.

Waffle Making Tips

• When making waffle batter, mix batter just until large lumps disappear. Overmixing can make waffles tough.
• Adding mix-ins, such as fruit or chocolate chips, may take some experimenting. Try mixing them into a single waffle’s worth of batter at first to judge the ratio of batter to mix-in.
• For best results, open, fill, and close one cooking plate at a time. This will prevent extra heat from dissipating off the plate waiting to be filled, which could result in a longer cook time or uneven cooking.
• Do not open the waffle maker during the first minute of cooking, as the waffle may separate.
• If the top of the waffle maker resists when attempting to lift it after cooking the waffle, allow the waffle to cook longer in 30-second increments.
• Waffle yield will vary based on the recipe or brand of waffle mix used.
• If you do not have silicone-tipped tongs, wooden chopsticks are a handy tool for removing waffles from the waffle iron.
• If not serving right away, keep waffles warm in a 200°F oven. Set waffles directly on the oven rack or on a wire rack over a baking sheet so air can flow beneath, keeping them crisp.
• Cooked waffles freeze well. Let waffles cool completely, then transfer to a ziptop plastic bag or wrap in aluminum foil. Unwrap and reheat waffles in a toaster, toaster oven, or oven.

Cleaning and Maintenance

With its nonstick plates, the waffle maker is super easy to clean.

1. Unplug the waffle maker when done and let it cool completely before cleaning.

2. Use a soft bristle brush, such as a pastry brush, or a paper towel to brush away crumbs from the plates.

3. The waffle maker does not disassemble for cleaning. Gently wipe down the interior plates and the exterior (if necessary) with a damp cloth or paper towel.

4. To remove batter that has cooked onto the plates, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the hardened batter. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, then wipe off with a dry towel or damp paper towel.
   CAUTION: Never immerse the waffle maker, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid; do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.

5. Wash the measuring cup with warm, soapy water and a sponge. The measuring cup is not dishwasher safe.

6. Always allow all parts to dry completely.

7. Wrap the cord underneath the waffle maker and thread the end through the two metal hooks. The waffle maker may be stored in the upright position to save space.
