How to Make a Single Waffle
Before first use: Wipe Cooking Grids with a soapy, damp cloth. Rinse cloth; then wipe Grids again. Wipe or brush Grids with vegetable oil. This is only
recommended before first use. Waffle browning will improve with each subsequent batch. Cooking Grids are dishwasher-safe.
1. Plug into outlet. Red POWER Light will
glow. Slide Drip Tray onto Base.
2. Preheat with Cover closed until green
PREHEAT Light comes on. Pull Release
Latch toward Handle to unlock.
5. Using an oven mitt, pull Release Latch
toward Handle to unlock. Raise Cover to
check waffle doneness. If waffle is not
done, lower Cover to continue cooking.
w WARNING Burn Hazard. Always use an oven mitt to protect hand
when opening a hot waffle maker. Escaping steam can burn.
3. When making a waffle, lift Cover that says
FILL THIS SIDE FIRST. Pour about 2/3 cup
(125 ml) of batter into center of lower Grid,
allowing batter to spread for even filling;
then lower Cover. Be careful not to pour too
much batter onto Grid to avoid overflow.
TIP: Adjust amount of batter as needed.
6. Remove waffle with plastic or wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the
nonstick coating of the appliance. Unplug unit when through cooking. Let cool.
4. Within 10 seconds of closing Cover, push
Release Latch toward Grid to lock and turn
Handle clockwise to flip Waffle Maker.
Waffle will be done in about 3 to 5 minutes,
depending on recipe and when steaming
begins to stop.
