you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all
instructions and important safeguards. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed as below:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Longer power-supply cords or 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 as great as the electrical rating of the product.
2. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the instructions below: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

4. When the green indicator light shuts off, the unit is ready to cook.
5. Raise the lid using the handle. Use an oven mitt or pot holder to prevent accidental burns.
6. Spray the upper and lower cooking surfaces with a non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat with a small amount of vegetable oil.
7. Carefully pour batter into the center of the lower cooking surface. The amount of waffle batter needed may vary based on the recipe or brand of batter mix used. Do not allow the batter to overflow.

10. Once the waffle is cooked thoroughly, remove the waffle using a heat-resistant nylon, silicone, or wooden cooking utensil.
11. If cooking more than one batch in a session, be sure to lower the lid in between batches to maintain the proper cooking temperature.
12. As soon as you are finished cooking, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool.

HELPFUL TIPS

• For each use, it is recommended that you coat the cooking plates with a non-stick cooking spray or with a small amount of vegetable oil. This will help preserve the longevity of your appliance.
• Only use heat-resistant nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils when operating this unit. Metal utensils can scratch or damage the non-stick cooking plates.
• For healthier waffles, substitute whole grain flour for white flour.
• To keep waffles crisp when reheating, always reheat them in an oven instead of a microwave. Preheat oven to 200˚ F and bake on a baking sheet or wire rack.
• DO NOT over-mix batter. Batter should be slightly lumpy so that waffles will be light and fluffy when cooked.
• You can store batter in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate. Refrigerated batter will remain fresh for up to two days. Because cold batter will thicken, you may need to add a little milk or water to the batter before cooking.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Please take care of your FLIP WAFFLE MAKER by following these simple cleaning directions.

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely.
2. Use a soft, damp, warm & non-abrasive cloth to wipe down the upper & lower cooking plates and the exterior of the appliance.
3. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. Dry appliance with a clean, soft, dry & non-abrasive cloth.
4. DO NOT put any parts in a dishwasher.
5. NEVER immerse an appliance or electrical cord in water.

RECIPES – SWEET

CLASSIC WAFFLES

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs, separated
• ½ cup cornstarch
• 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp. cornmeal (optional)
• 1 ¾ cups milk
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

1. In a large bowl, sift or whisk together flour, cornstarch, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt to blend thoroughly; set aside.
2. In a mixer bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
3. Add sugar; continue beating just until stiff peaks form; set aside.
4. Whisk together egg yolks, milk, and vanilla.
5. Using a sturdy spatula, stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture, blending just until the dry ingredients are moistened. (There should still be small lumps; do not overmix.)Stir in melted butter. Fold in beaten egg whites until combined. Pour batter onto a hot, greased waffle maker and bake.

• Tip: Cornstarch makes the waffles crisper. If you don’t have cornstarch, you could still make great waffles by increasing the flour to 2 cups. Bake as directed.
• Toasted Pecan & Cranberry Waffles: Sprinkle chopped pecans onto the bottom grid of a hot, greased waffle maker. Pour batter over pecans. Sprinkle dried cranberries over batter. Close the waffle maker and bake as directed.
