GETTING STARTED

- Remove and save literature.
- Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.

OPERATING YOUR BLACK+DECKER DOUBLE FLIP™ WAFFLE MAKER
- Before first use, condition the nonstick waffle plates by brushing or wiping a light coating of cooking oil (vegetable, canola, or corn oil) onto the entire cooking surface. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel.
- Flip and follow the same directions on the other set of plates; then close the waffle maker.
- Plug into a standard outlet. The red power indicator light (A) will come on, and the waffle maker will begin to preheat. The red light will remain illuminated until the waffle maker is unplugged.
- Allow the waffle maker to preheat. The green temperature-ready indicator light (B) will illuminate when the appliance is ready to use. Tip: The green light only indicates when the appliance is at temperature, not when the waffle is ready. It will cycle on and off during the cooking process to keep a consistent temperature. Note: During the initial preheating, you may notice smoke and a light odor. This is normal and should cause no concern.
- Once the waffle maker is preheated, open the waffle maker by pulling the handle lock to the unlock position. (C) Lift the cool-touch handle. Pour about ¾ cup of batter into the center of the lower waffle plate.
- Close the waffle maker with the cool-touch handle, but do not force it shut. Lock the handle by pressing the handle lock. (D)
- Wait approximately 10 seconds, then turn the cool-touch handle until the waffle maker is upside down. (E)
- If making only one waffle, skip to step 11. If making a second waffle, unlock the handle (C) and open the second set of plates. Pour about ¾ cup of batter into the center of the waffle plate.
- Close the waffle maker with the cool-touch handle, but do not force it shut. Lock the handle by pressing the handle lock. (D)
- Wait approximately 10 seconds, and then turn the cool-touch handle until the waffle maker is right side up.
- Allow the waffle(s) to cook until steaming subsides, about 3-4 minutes. For crispier waffles, extend cooking time for an additional 1-2 minutes. Note: Avoid opening the waffle maker while the waffle is cooking. Opening at this point may cause the waffle to stick or cook poorly.
- When cooking is finished, flip the waffle maker, unlock the handle, and remove the first waffle. If making two waffles: lock the handle, flip the waffle maker, unlock the handle, open, and remove the second waffle. Note: Only remove waffles with heat-resistant, nonstick utensils. Do not use metal utensils, as they can damage the nonstick coating.
- When finished, unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
USEFUL TIPS
- Fully cooked waffles freeze well. When cooled to room temperature, simply wrap individually in plastic wrap or place in a freezer bag and close airtight. They can be kept frozen for several months.
- Packaged pancake mixes, including the whole wheat variety, make delicious waffles. Follow the package directions for waffles.
- Don’t use water to clean the nonstick waffle plates. Simply allow them to cool and brush off any crumbs that may be left in the grids. Cotton swabs are handy for cleaning between the ridges.
- For lighter waffles, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to soft peaks and fold in into the batter just before cooking the waffles.
- Waffles can be kept warm by placing them on a rack or a cookie sheet in a preheated oven set to 300ºF for up to 10 minutes.
- Never stack cooked waffles. This makes them soggy.
- To reheat waffles, use your preheated toaster oven and set it to 350º F for about 5 minutes.
- Using a waffle mix? Add some excitement! Just before cooking, stir in:
- Mashed banana
- Chopped walnuts, macadamia nuts, toasted almonds, or pecans
- Diced fruit, such as apples, peaches, plums, or berries
