Parts & Features

Using Your Mini Waffle Maker

Before first use, remove all packaging materials and thoroughly clean your Gingerbread Mini Waffle Maker.

1. Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface. Plug the cord into a power outlet. The Indicator Light will illuminate (photo A), signaling that the Mini Waffle Maker is heating up.

2. Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the Indicator Light will automatically shut off. Now, you’re ready to get cooking (photo B)!

3. Carefully lift the Cover by the Cover Handle and spray both Cooking Surfaces with a small amount of non-aerosol cooking oil (photo C).

Chef Tip

Aerosol cooking sprays often contain additives that can cause nonstick surfaces to become sticky and hard to clean over time. To ensure the longevity of your product, use a spray bottle and a neutral oil (vegetable, canola, etc.) to lubricate cooking surfaces.
