How to use

Always use an oven mitt to protect hand when opening a hot waffle baker. Escaping steam can burn.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wipe the bottom and top cooking grids with a soapy, damp cloth. Rinse cloth; then wipe grids again. Wipe or brush waffle grids with vegetable oil. This is only recommended before first use.

1. Plug cord into electrical outlet. The POWER ON light will glow.
2. Preheat with lid closed until READY light comes on.
3. Raise lid and pour about 1/3 cup (80 ml) batter onto center of each waffle square. Lower the lid.
4. Waffles are done in about 3 to 6 minutes, depending on recipe, or when steaming begins to stop. Remove waffle with plastic or wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick coating.
5. Unplug unit when through cooking. Let cool.

Power ON and Ready lights

The POWER ON light comes on when the waffle baker is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is unplugged.
The READY light comes on when the waffle baker has reached the desired temperature. For best results, wait until the READY light comes on before adding the waffle batter. This light will cycle on and off during baking.

Usage tips

• Most waffle recipes can be poured directly onto the non-stick cooking grids. Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles or any recipe with a lot of sugar. If your waffles start to stick, the grids may need to be scrubbed with a nylon brush to remove any cooked-on food particles.
• Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200˚F (90˚C) oven.
• To store waffles, let cool and then pack in an airtight container. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Waffles can be reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or regular oven.
• Most waffles are done in about 3 to 6 minutes. Recipes madefrom scratch may take longer. Check for doneness after approximately 5 minutes or when the steaming stops. If the lid doesn't lift easily, let waffles cook a minute more before checking again.
