SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
PARTS
A Main Unit
(Attached power cord not shown)
B Portion Cup
(To prevent overflow, DO NOT use more than 1 full cup). Dishwasher safe.
BEFORE FIRST USE
- Remove and discard any packaging material, stickers, and tape from the unit.
- Remove all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions, warnings, and important safeguards to avoid any injury or property damage.
- Wash the waffle plates with a damp, soapy cloth, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
- We recommend turning the unit on and running it on shade 5 for 10 minutes without adding batter. Make sure the area is well ventilated. This removes any packaging residue and odor traces that may be present. This is completely safe and not detrimental to the performance of the waffle maker.
- Season the waffle plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil to them. The use of cooking spray is NOT recommended unless otherwise indicated in recipe provided in the Inspiration Guide.

USING THE WAFFLE MAKER
-
With the waffle maker closed, plug it in and turn it on by adjusting the shade selection dial to your desired shade setting. The red LED light will
illuminate, indicating the waffle maker is preheating.
NOTE: Allow unit to fully preheat prior to adding batter. -
The green LED light will illuminate when the unit is preheated. Fill the portion cup with batter between the minimum fill line (3/4 cup) and top rim, then pour prepared batter into the top spout of the unit in one quick pour. Cooking will automatically begin after batter is added (the red LED light will illuminate to signal cooking has begun).
NOTE: The exact amount of batter needed will vary depending on batter type, thickness and leavening agents used. We recommend starting with filling your portion cup to the minimum fill line and adjusting from there. DO NOT pour more than one full scoop (1 cup) of batter at one time. -
The waffle is done cooking when the green LED light illuminates and the unit beeps. Push the lock button to open the waffle maker and remove the waffle with silicone-tipped tongs or other non-metal cooking utensil.
-
Close the waffle maker by pivoting the front up until it latches closed.
-
The waffle maker will automatically start preheating after each cycle. Wait for the green LED to indicate the preheat cycle is complete before starting to cook the next waffle.
TIP: If your waffle batter does not flow smoothly into the waffle maker, mix in a tablespoon of water or milk and try again.
CLEANING
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after every session.
- Unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool completely.
- Using a damp soapy cloth clean the waffle plates, then wipe clean with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. DO NOT submerge the main unit in water or run under a faucet.
- Avoid using metal cooking instruments or abrasives while cleaning to avoid damaging the waffle plates.
- To clean the outside of the waffle maker, use a damp cloth. For best results, wipe up wet batter before it dries completely.
- To clean between the narrow gaps in the waffle maker, ensure it is unplugged and scrap batter out using a damp cloth wrapped around the point of a nonmetal utensil.
TIPS & TRICKS
Use the portion cup and fill above the minimum fill line to ensure a full
waffle is made.
When cooking multiple waffles back to back, keep the waffles warm in an oven
set to 150F.
Using less than 1/2 cup of batter may cause the unit not to recognize that a
cooking cycle should begin.
DO NOT open the waffle maker during a cooking cycle when the RED LED is
ON.
It is natural for steam to escape from the unit.
Solid mix-ins are not recommended with this waffle maker.
For batter that is too thick to flow into the waffle maker, mix in 1
tablespoon of water to the batter and try again. Repeat until the batter flows
smoothly and you get a full waffle.
Uneaten waffle can be frozen for up to 3 weeks, if properly stored and
reheated in a toaster.
If food particles leak into drip catch, wipe them away with a damp, soapy,
cloth.
The portion cup can also be used as a 1-cup measuring cup.
Excess batter will rise, filling the spout. This batter can removed after the
waffle is removed.
Visit ninjakitchen.com for recipes and additional
tips and tricks.
NOTE: To avoid the risk of overfilling your waffle maker, DO NOT pour
more than 1 cup of batter into the waffle maker at once.
