IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Check that the voltage in your home corresponds to that stated on the rating plate of the appliance, before using the appliance.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles and buttons.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children. This appliance shall not be used by children.
Please keep out of reach of children and pets. This product is not intended for use by children, by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the product, by a person responsible for their safety. Extra caution is always necessary when using this product.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or serious personal injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
When using this appliance, provide adequate airspace above and on all sides for air circulation. On surfaces where heat may cause a problem, an insulated hot pad is recommended.
Do not leave unit unattended during use.
Always use the product on a clean, flat, hard, dry and heat resistant surface. There should be no material such as a tablecloth or plastic between the unit and surface. A fire may occur if the waffle maker is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
It is absolutely necessary to keep this appliance clean at all times as it comes in direct contact with food.
Be careful not to scratch the non-stick coating of the cooking plate, as you might get little pieces of this coating into the food. If scraping is necessary, unplug the appliance and use a wooden spatula or a heat resistant plastic one.
DO NOT touch the cover during use. HOT SURFACE!
Never impact this unit or drop from a high place.

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent 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 resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
The resulting extended 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.

PARTS DESCRIPTION ****

Before using the appliance for the first time, remove and peel off all promotional and packaging materials. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust.
Clean the waffle maker (See “Cleaning and Care”) and place the unit on a flat, dry, and heat-resistant surface.
Uncoil the main cord completely.
It is recommended to heat the waffle maker for about 10 minutes without any foods on its surfaces.

Note: When ﬁrst turned on, the device may give oﬀ some smoke and slight odor. This is normal and results from residue from fabrication, which will go away after use and not last for long.

OPERATION

Place the appliance on a ﬂat, level surface.
Uncoil the cord completely. Check if the heating plates are clean and dust-free. If necessary, wipe them with a damp cloth and let dry before use.
Connect the plug to a power outlet. The unit will turn on automatically, signaled by a red indicator light. Keep the appliance closed as it heats up. Once the unit has finished preheating (in about 2 to 3 minutes) the green light will turn on to indicate the waffle maker ready to use. Please note, when ready to use both the red and green indicator lights will be on.
Open the appliance and lightly brush the plates with oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the waffle mixture in the center of the bottom plate. If needed, use a silicone or heat-proof spatula to help spread the batter, depending on consistency.
Close the appliance. The green light will turn off during the cooking time. After about 5-6 minutes, (depending on batter), your waffles are ready. Please note, the green light may come on and off regularly during use. This simply means that the thermostat is regulating the appliance’s temperature. If you want to cook the waffles more, simply close the appliance and cook until desired doneness is achieved.
Once cooking is complete, use a spatula or tongs to help you remove the waffles from the iron. Do not try to grab the appliance while it is plugged in or lift it from its place, as the outside can get very hot. For extra caution, use heat-proof gloves when handling this appliance.

Notes:

Depending on batter consistency and taste, cooking times will vary. Most batter will cook in 5-8 minutes, depending on desired level of browning.
The first pre-heating should be done without any food on the heating plates. In order to remove any factory residue, plug in the appliance and let it heat for about ten minutes before turning on.
The possible odor and/or smoke is normal and harmless. Clean after initial pre-heating to ensure appliance is perfectly clean.
The red light will always be on while the appliance is plugged in.
Do not place too much food or batter in the appliance, and never try to force it shut as it could damage the hinge.
Do not use sharp utensils (forks, knives, etc.) to remove the food from the heating plates as it could damage the nonstick coating of the cooking plates. Use heat resistant wood or plastic utensils only.
Always unplug appliance when not in use.
