Getting To Know Your Waffle Maker

Product may vary slightly from illustration

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. 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
3. 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.
   
   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.
4. 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.
5. If the waffles are not dark enough, close the Waffle Maker, rotate to lock, and then wait another 30 seconds. Repeat as needed.
6. When you are satisfied with your waffles, use a non-metallic utensil to remove them from the heating plates.
7. To make more waffles, close the Waffle Maker until the Green Ready Light comes on, then repeat from step 4.
8. When finished baking waffles remove plug from wall outlet.
9. After it has sufficiently cooled, the heating plates may be wiped clean.

Locking And Unlocking Your Waffle Maker

Your Waffle Maker is unlocked only when the side with 2 indicator lights are facing up and is locked when the 2 indicators lights are facing down. You can only open the Waffle Maker in the unlocked position.

Tips For Perfectly Baked Waffles

1. Stir your waffle batter only until large chunks of dry ingredients are dissolved. Over mixing the waffle batter can cause the waffles to be hard.
2. The exact amount of batter needed to make perfect full-sized waffles depends on the type and consistency of the batter. Use the same ladle or measuring cup each time to determine how much batter you need to fill the lower plate fully so as to cover the peaks in the plate.
3. When making softer variety of waffles, once they are baked, make sure to cut the waffles into halves or in 4 quarters and support them with a spatula at the bottom so it is easier to take them out from the plates, since softer waffles can break easily.
4. When making large batches to serve at once, you can keep the waffles fresh & crisp by placing them in a preheated oven at 200°F. Take them out using oven mitts when you are ready to serve.
5. To avoid waffles with a moist base, kept the waffles on a wire cooling rack. This will retain the crispness of the waffles.
6. You can reheat your waffles in the waffle maker. Pre-heat the waffle maker on low setting. Once preheated, place the waffles on the lower plate so they fit the grooves correctly, then close the waffle maker and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, checking every 30 seconds to avoid burning.
7. You can also freeze your waffles to eat later. After the freshly baked waffles have cooled completely, pack them in a covered container or plastic freezer bag. Make sure to separate the waffles with a sheet of wax paper between each waffle. To reheat the frozen waffles, place in a pre-heated oven, toaster oven or toaster until they are hot.

Cleaning and Maintenance

2. You can easily remove any excess oils or crumbs without disassembling the appliance.
   NOTE: NEVER SUBMERGE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR PLACE IT IN THE DISHWASHER.
3. For best results and preserve the non-stick coating longer, use nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils.
4. Use a soft cloth on the heating plates and occasionally a metal polish intended for stainless steel on the outer housing. Never use abrasive scouring pads or steel wool.
5. If there is hardened batter on the plates, pour a little oil and let it sit for about 5-7 minutes. You can then wipe clean with a paper towel.
6. Do not use the Waffle Maker for anything other than making waffles.
   This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

Steps For Stain Removal and Proper Care of Your Non-Stick Coating

1. Identify stained areas on the cooking surface and sprinkle some baking soda on the stains.
2. Moisten the baking soda to get a paste like texture by adding some water.
3. Let the paste stand for a few minutes on the stains (not more than an hour)
4. Rub with a soft damp cloth or lightly scrub with a plastic scouring pad, wipe clean and dry thoroughly. NOTE: Do not rub vigorously when using a plastic scouring pad and NEVER use a metal scouring pad as this may damage the non-stick coating.
5. Repeat the cycle once again if necessary The performance and non-stick property of the coating will not be affected due to stains.
