    SAVE THESE INS TRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in electric shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. To protect against electrical shock, this appliance is equipped with a cord having a 3-prong grounding-type plug for insertion into a proper grounding-type electrical outlet. DO NOT alter the plug for use in a 2-prong outlet. If the plug will not fit into an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from 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, and;
2. The longer 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.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against the risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odour. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after the appliance has been used a few more times.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other heatable surface, even if the stovetop is not on. Doing so is a fire hazard.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packing materials and any removable stickers from the inside and outside of the waffle maker.
2. Gently wipe down the exterior and interior with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any packaging residue. Dry completely. Never immerse the waffle maker, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
3. Wash the measuring cup with warm, soapy water and a sponge. Dry completely.
4. Read all instructions and follow them carefully.

HOW TO USE THE ANTI-OVERFLOW WAFFLE MAKER
It’s easy to make thick, light, and crisp waffles with no mess using the Anti- Overflow Waffle Maker.

1. Prepare your waffle batter.

2. Place the closed waffle maker on a flat, dry surface with space on all sides. NOTE: Never use aerosol nonstick spray on the waffle maker’s cooking plates. Nonstick spray will cause buildup over time, which may cause sticking. If desired, brush the plates with a small amount of cooking oil instead.

3. Unwind the power cord completely and plug in the waffle maker.

4. The red POWER light located on the top of the waffle maker will come on, and the waffle maker will begin to preheat. When the waffle maker is fully heated, after about 5 minutes, the green READY light will come on as well.

5. Use the shade setting knob to select your desired shade setting. There are seven shade settings: MIN (lightest), MAX (darkest), and 5 settings in between. The higher the setting, the darker and crisper the waffle will be.

6. Use the included measuring cup to scoop the batter. The amount of batter needed will vary depending on your recipe, so you may need to experiment. Start with about 120 ml (1/2 cup) for most batters and adjust the amount as needed. NOTE: The measuring cup’s handle is designed so it can rest on the side of the batter bowl to prevent batter from dripping onto your worktop.

7. Carefully open the waffle maker by positioning a thumb or finger on the latch release grip and pinching the latch between your fingers.

8. Pour the batter onto the centre of the lower cooking plate.
   TIP: You may need to adjust the amount of batter you use per waffle to prevent overflow.

9. Close the lid. The green READY light will turn off while the waffle is cooking and will come back on when the waffle is done. WARNING: Hot steam escapes from the sides of the waffle maker during cooking and can potentially cause burns. Keep away from the steam.

10. When the green READY light comes back on, carefully open the lid. WARNING: Use extreme caution when opening the waffle maker once the waffle is cooked as hot steam will escape and may cause burns.

11. Use silicone-tipped tongs to remove the cooked waffle. (Do not use metal utensils as they can scratch the nonstick surface.)

12. To make more waffles, brush away any crumbs left on the plates, then close the lid and let the waffle maker reheat until the green READY light comes back on. Repeat steps 6–11.

13. When finished, 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 just until large lumps disappear. Overmixing can make waffles tough.
• Adding mix-ins, such as fruit or chocolate chips, may take some experimenting to get right. Try mixing some into a single waffle’s worth of batter at first to judge the ratio of batter to mix-in.
• Do not open the waffle maker during the first minute of cooking as the waffle may separate.
• If the waffle maker resists opening after the waffle is cooked, allow the waffle to cook longer in 30-second increments, then try again.
• Waffle results will vary based on the brand of waffle mix or the recipe used.
• If not serving waffles straight away, keep them warm in a 93°C (200°F) oven. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and transfer the waffles to the rack so that air can flow beneath, keeping the waffles crisp.
• Cooked waffles freeze well. Let waffles cool completely, then transfer to a zip-top plastic bag or wrap in tinfoil. Unwrap and reheat waffles in a toaster or oven.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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

1. Unplug the waffle maker when finished 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. The measuring cup may be washed with warm, soapy water and a sponge.
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 to sit for
5. minutes, then wipe off with a dry cloth or damp paper towel. Never use coarse scouring pads or steel wool as this can damage surfaces. CAUTION: Never immerse the waffle maker, the cord, or the plug in water or any other liquid.
6. Always allow all parts to dry completely.
7. The cord can be wrapped underneath the waffle maker, and the waffle maker may be stored in the upright position to save space.
