IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
   putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
   malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the
   nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
    other hot liquids.
12. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To
    disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
13. Please do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.

BEFORE USE

• Remove all packaging and stickers from your waffle maker and wipe the housing and plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue remaining from manufacturing.
• We recommend seasoning the non-stick plates with cooking spray or oil before use. For best results, it is suggested to repeat this process at the start of each use.

ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY

1. Open the lid of the waffle maker by depressing the release latch located on the underside of the handle and lifting.
2. To remove waffle plates,
   • a. Be sure plates are completely cool.
   • b. Press the upper plate release button (located on the left side of the lid above the indicator lights) with one hand, while removing the plate with the other hand.
   • c. Repeat the process with the lower plates (release button located on the left bottom housing).
3. To replace waffle plates,
   • a. Insert the waffle plate tabs into the unit and press down. You will hear the plates click into place.

OPERATION

1. Make sure the plates are in place and the selector knob is turned to the OFF position. Plug in the waffle maker.
2. Turn on the heater and begin preheating by selecting the desired setting with the Selector Knob (Setting 1 will results in the lightest waffle; setting 5 the darkest). Preheat the waffle maker in the closed position.
   • a. The red ON indicator will “light up”. To indicate that the waffle maker is on and heating.
3. When the waffle maker has reached the selected temperature and is ready to use, the green READY indicator will “light up” and the audible tone will sound.
   • a. Lift the lid and add batter. Then close the lid again to cook.
4. When your waffles are ready, the audible tone will sound and the READY indicator will “light up” again.
   • a. Carefully remove your waffles and enjoy.
   • b. If making more than one batch of waffles, once your first batch is removed, repeat the baking process by adding more batter (step 3a).
5. To turn off your waffle maker at any time, turn the selector knob to the OFF position.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. When you are finished cooking, turn the temperature knob to Off and unplug the power cord. Allow the unit to cool down completely before handling.
2. Press the plate release buttons to remove plates from the housing. Be sure that the plates have cooled completely before handling.
   • a. We recommend cleaning the plates after every use. The plate should be washed in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher. Failing to do so may negatively impact the non-stick coating performance. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad on the non-stick coating.
3. To clean the exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth.

RECIPE

Make traditional waffles for approximately 8 waffles.
Ingredients:

• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 3 tsp of granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp of salt
• 1-3/4 cups reduced-fat milk
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs

1. Mix the flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
2. Make a hole in the middle and add salt, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs.
3. Gradually mix in the milk a little at a time.
4. Let the batter rest for 1 hour before using. After making sure your Waffle Maker has been preheated, you can then pour the batter into the waffle maker using a ladle (g): the batter in the baking compartments should not exceed the height of the separator bar. (fig.10)
5. Close the waffle maker and cook for the recommended amount of time.
6. The waffles should be nicely browned. To serve, put the waffles on a dish and top with syrup if desired.
7. The waffles are also delicious with melted chocolate, whipped cream, jam, ice cream, strawberries, or any topping you prefer.
