IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow time to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact consumer support at the toll-free number listed in the warranty section.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
- A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- If a long extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
- The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

HOW TO USE
This appliance is intended for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
- Remove all packing material, any stickers, and plastic bands around the power plug.
- Remove and save literature.
- Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
- Wash all removable parts as instructed in the Care and Cleaning Section.
- Select a location where this unit is to be used, allowing enough space from the back of the unit and wall to allow heat flow without damage to cabinets and walls.
OPERATING INSTRUCTION
- Before first use, condition the nonstick waffle plates by brushing or wiping a light coating of cooking oil (vegetable, canola, or corn oil) onto the entire cooking surface. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel.
- Flip and follow the same directions on the other set of plates; then close the waffle maker.
- Plug into a standard outlet. The red power indicator light (A) will come on and the waffle maker will begin to preheat. The red light will remain illuminated until the waffle maker is unplugged.
Allow the waffle maker to preheat. The green temperature-ready indicator light (B) will illuminate when the appliance is ready to use.
Once the waffle maker is preheated, open the waffle maker by pulling the handle lock to the unlock position. (C) Lift the cool touch handle. Pour about ¾ cup of batter into the center of the lower waffle plate.
Close the waffle maker with the cool touch handle, but do not force it shut. Lock the handle by pressing the handle lock. (D)
Wait approximately 10 seconds, then turn the cool touch handle until the waffle maker is upside down. (E)
If making only one waffle, skip to step 11. If making a second waffle, unlock the handle (C) and open the second set of plates. Pour about ¾ cup of batter into the center of the waffle plate.- Close the waffle maker with the cool touch handle, but do not force it shut. Lock the handle by pressing the handle lock. (D)
- Wait approximately 10 seconds, and then turn the cool touch handle until the waffle maker is right side up.
- Allow the waffle(s) to cook until steaming subsides, about 3-4 minutes. For crispier waffles, extend the cooking time for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- When cooking is finished, flip the waffle maker, unlock the handle, and remove the first waffle. If making two waffles: lock the handle, flip the waffle maker, unlock the handle, and open and remove the second waffle.
- When finished, unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
USEFUL TIPS
- Fully cooked waffles freeze well. When cooled to room temperature, simply wrap individually in plastic wrap or place in a freezer bag and close airtight. They can be kept frozen for several months.
- Packaged pancake mixes, including the whole wheat variety, make delicious waffles. Follow the package directions for waffles.
- Don’t use water to clean the nonstick waffle plates. Simply allow them to cool and brush off any crumbs that may be left in the grids. Cotton swabs are handy for cleaning between the ridges.
- For lighter waffles, separate the eggs beat the egg whites to soft peaks, and fold into the batter just before cooking the waffles.
- Waffles can be kept warm by placing them on a rack or a cookie sheet in a preheated oven set to 300ºF for up to 10 minutes.
- Never stack cooked waffles. This makes them soggy.
- To reheat waffles, use your preheated toaster oven and set it to 350º F, for about 5 minutes.
- Using a waffle mix? Add some excitement! Just before cooking, stir in:
- Mashed banana
- Chopped walnuts, macadamia nuts, toasted almonds or pecans
- Diced fruit, such as apples, peaches, plums, or berries
