CORD AND PLUG SAFETY

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:
  1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
  2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled on by children.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG

This unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug is intended to be used by inserting it into the electrical outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit securely into the outlet, reverse the plug and re-insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not modify the plug in any way.

   • Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam coming from the spout.

WAFFLE MAKING TIPS

• Shade 1 = lighter waffles. Shade 5 = darker waffles.
• You can cut the extra piece that rises into the Easy Pour Spot before serving.
• To keep the waffles crispy, put the finished waffles on a metal rack and wait for them to cool down a bit. This will prevent the bottoms from becoming soggy.
• Once the waffles have been cooled on a metal rack, they can be frozen. Place them in a freezer bag or in an airtight container with wax paper in between each waffle.
• When making a large quantity of waffles, set the oven to 200° F and put the baked waffles in the oven to keep them warm.
• A cold waffle can be placed back into the waffle maker for 1-2 minutes to warm it up and make it crispy
