How to use

Always use an oven mitt to protect hand when opening a hot waffle maker. 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. Waffle browning will improve with each subsequent batch.

Plug cord into electrical outlet. The red Power light will glow.
Choose desired temperature (MIN–MAX) and preheat with cover closed until the green Preheat light comes on.
Press cover lock to unlock cover, raise cover, and pour about 1/3 cup (80 ml) batter onto the center of each cooking grid. Close cover and lock. The green Preheat light will cycle on and off during cooking.
Waffles are done in about 3–6 minutes, depending on the chosen temperature, recipe, or when steaming begins to stop. 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.

Power and Preheat lights

The red Power light comes on when the appliance is first plugged in. This light will stay on until the unit is unplugged. The green Preheat light comes on when the appliance has reached the desired temperature. For best results, wait until green Preheat light comes on before adding waffle batter. This light will cycle on and off during baking.

Care and cleaning

Shock Hazard.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or base in water or any other liquid.

Unplug from outlet and let cool.
Wipe cooking grids and outside of unit with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse cloth and wipe grids again.
Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleansers on any part of the unit. Never use sharp or pointed objects for cleaning purposes.
Always allow the appliance to cool down completely before storing. Lock the cover lock; then the unit can be stored upright to save space.

Usage tips

Use a cooking spray before pouring batter into the grids, especially for dessert waffles or recipes with a lot of sugar.
If your waffles start to stick, the grids may need to bescrubbed 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 (93°C) oven. Or let them cool and pack in an airtight container; store in refrigerator or freezer. They can be reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or a regular oven.
Most waffles are done in about 5 minutes. Some of the recipes which are made from scratch may take a little longer. Check for doneness at about 5 minutes. If the cover of the waffle maker doesn't lift up easily, then let it cook a minute more before checking again. When the steaming stops is also an indicator that the waffle is done.
