Before Using For The First Time

• Remove all parts included in the box.
• Wash all the parts thoroughly (refer to Cleaning and Maintenance section for more information).
NOTE: Your Waffle Maker may emit a small amount of smoke and/or odor when you use it for the first time.
This is normal and harmless, however we recommend that you do not eat the first waffle you make with the
Waffle Maker.

Using Your Waffle Maker

1. Plug the cord into your 120 V AC wall outlet. The Red Power Light will turn on indicating the appliance is
ready for preheating.
2. Set the Control Knob to your desired setting. The higher your setting, the darker your waffles will be.
Experiment with the setting and different waffle batters to determine your ideal Waffle Maker settings.
NOTE: The Red Power Light will remain on until the appliance is unplugged.
3. The Green Ready Light will turn off and the Waffle Maker will begin to preheat. The Green Ready Light will
turn on when the appliance reaches proper cooking temperature. This should take approximately 3 to 5
minutes. Once heated, ready times will be faster
4. When the Green Ready Light turns on, open the Waffle Maker, and apply a light layer of vegetable oil, olive
oil or canola oil to the cooking plates. Pour and spread the waffle batter evenly onto the lower plate so that
the batter fills the lower plate and the peak areas of the plate are covered.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS. THEY CAN CAUSE A BUILD-UP ON THE COOKING PLATES
AND MAY AFFECT THE NON-STICK PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT.
Close the Waffle Maker and rotate the handle 180º clockwise (right) until it locks for cooking.
5. When the Green Ready Light turns on again, rotate the handle 180º counter-clockwise (left) to unlock and
then carefully open the Waffle Maker. NOTE: Do not open the waffle maker for at least 1 min 30 seconds.
This can cause the under-cooked waffles to break and they can be difficult to remove from the plates.
