Plug Fitting Details (Where Applicable).
The wire labelled blue is the neutral and must be connected to the terminal marked [N].
The wire labelled brown is the live wire and must be connected to the terminal marked [L].
The wire labelled green/yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter [E].
On no account must either the brown or the blue wire be connected to the [EARTH] terminal.

If your appliance is supplied with a nonrewireable plug fitted to the mains lead and should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to BS 1362 of the same rating).
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician who will be pleased to do this for you.
If you need to remove the plug – disconnect it from the mains – then cut it off of the mains lead and immediately dispose of it in a safe manner. Never attempt to reuse the plug or insert it into a socket outlet as there is a danger of an electric shock.

Before First Use:

Read all instructions and safety information carefully before first use. Please retain this information for future reference.

1. Carefully unpack the appliance. Remove all packaging materials.

2. Place the appliance on a flat, level surface. Open the lid of the appliance.

3. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth so that they are clean.
   NOTE: Use a small amount of cooking oil to season the cooking plates, and wipe off any excess with a dry cloth. This only needs to be done once.

4. Wipe the outside of the housing with a soft damp cloth. NEVER immerse the power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.

5. Close the appliance.

6. Plug into the wall outlet and pre-heat for 10 minutes.

NOTE: During this initial phase a slight harmless odour and some smoke may be emitted from the waffle maker. This is normal.

Using Your Appliance:

Preparing Your Appliance:

1. Connect the unit to the electrical supply. The red and green indicator lights will switch on to show that the appliance is pre-heating.
2. Close the lid while the pre-heating occurs. During this time prepare your waffle ingredients.
3. The appliance is ready for use once the red indicator goes off. This will take approximately 2-4 minutes.

Preparing waffles:

1. Prepare your waffle batter as detailed in the Recipe section.

2. Lift the safety catch and open the waffle maker.

3. Carefully pour the waffle batter onto each of the two cooking plates, taking care to prevent spillages.
   Note: Waffle batter tends to expand during the cooking process, and may spill from the cooking plates if they have been overfilled. To prevent this from happening, we recommend filling the cooking plates to no more than 3/4 full, so that the batter has room to expand as it cooks.

4. Close the casing to ensure the waffles are cooked evenly.

5. Lock the safety catch.

6. Normal cooking times will be 3-6 minutes for each waffle. During this period, the red indicator light will periodically turn itself on and off, as the thermostat keeps the waffle maker at the proper baking temperature.

Serving your waffles:

1. Remove the waffles from the heating plates with a plastic or wooden spatula.
2. Be careful when removing the waffles from the unit, as they will be quite hot.
3. Allow the waffles to cool for a few minutes before eating.

Tips:

• Always preheat your waffle maker fully.
• Ensure the lid of the waffle maker is down whilst preheating.
• Butter, margarine and olive oil can all be used to coat the cooking plates for optimal results.
• Light/low fat margarines are not recommended as they do not withstand heat.
• Allow hot waffles to rest for 2 -3 minutes after removing them from the waffle maker.

Troubleshooting:

Do the indicator lights show when my waffle is done?

– No. The indicator lights only indicate power, and that the waffle maker has reached the correct temperature. Ensure you do not leave the waffle maker during use.

How long will it take to make a waffle?

– We recommend toasting your waffles for around five minutes.
– Generally the waffles will be ready approximately 3 – 6 minutes after adding them to the waffle maker, depending on your preference.

Cleaning & Care:

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts.
Do not try to repair it yourself. Refer it to qualified personnel if servicing is needed.
Always unplug this waffle maker from the power source and wait until it cools down before cleaning.
There is no need to take your waffle maker apart for cleaning.
To clean the waffle maker, dry it with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Brush any crumbs from the grooves and wipe them with damp cloth and mild soap.
Never immerse the unit in water. Avoid using scratching or sharp utensils, as they will scratch the non-stick surface.
Do not use cleansers or oven cleaners on the heating plates.
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the handles and outer surfaces.
Should any leftover batter be difficult to remove, pour a little cooking oil onto the plate and wipe it off after approximately 5 minutes or once the dough has softened.
IMPORTANT:
After cleaning allow to dry fully before using again.
DO NOT use the appliance if damp. Ensure the appliance is completely clean and dry before storing.
DO NOT place the appliance in the dishwasher.

To store your appliance:

1. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and clean as above.
2. Allow the appliance to dry fully.
3. Store on a flat, dry level surface out of reach of children.
