READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING:
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed as below:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles only.
To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse or partially immerse the cord, plug, or entire unit in water or any other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from the wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning or storing this appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
The accessible surfaces may be hot when the appliance is operating.
Appliances are not intended to be operated using an external timer or separate remote-control system.
The use of accessories attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electrical shock, or injuries.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note:
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Note:
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care ]is exercised in their use. If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

Handle
Cooking Plate
Removable Drip Tray
Power & Ready Indicator Lights

BEFORE FIRST USE

Read all instructions and important safeguards.
Carefully unpack the Flip Waffle Maker and remove all packaging and materials.
Clean the baking plates with a damp cloth or sponge.
CAUTION:
Take care to prevent water from running into the appliance. NEVER IMMERSE THE HEATING BODY OF THE WAFFLE MAKER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUIDS!

HOW TO USE

Place the Flip Waffle Maker on a flat, level, and dry surface near an electrical outlet.
Preheat the appliance by closing the lid and plugging it into an electrical outlet. Both red and green indicator lights will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating up.
Prepare your ingredients while the appliance is preheating.
When the green indicator light shuts off the unit is ready to cook.
Raise the lid using the handle. Use an oven mitt or pot holder to prevent accidental burns.
Spray the upper and lower cooking surfaces with a nonstick cooking spray or lightly coat them with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Carefully pour batter into the center of the lower cooking surface. The amount of waffle batter needed may vary based on the recipe or brand of batter mix used. Do not allow the batter to overflow.
Close the lid using the handle and allow to cook.
NOTE:
Cooking time will vary based on the recipe or brand of batter mix used.
Once the waffle is cooked to your preference (usually about 2 minutes), carefully flip the waffle maker using the handle, and cook the other side of the waffle to your preference (about another 2 minutes).
Once the waffle is cooked thoroughly, remove the waffle using a heat-resistant nylon, silicone, or wooden cooking utensil.
If cooking more than one batch in a session, be sure to lower the lid in between batches to maintain the proper cooking temperature.
As soon as you are finished cooking, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool.

HELPFUL TIPS

For each use, it is recommended that you coat the cooking plates with a non-stick cooking spray or with a small amount of vegetable oil. This will help preserve the longevity of your appliance.
Only use heat-resistant nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils when operating this unit. Metal utensils can scratch or damage non-stick cooking plates.
For healthier waffles, substitute whole-grain flour for white flour.
To keep waffles crisp when reheating, always reheat in an oven instead of a microwave. Preheat oven to 200˚ F and bake on a baking sheet or wire rack.
DO NOT over-mix the batter. The batter should be slightly lumpy so that waffles will be light and fluffy when cooked.
You can store the batter in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate it. Refrigerated batter will remain fresh for up to two days. Because cold batter will thicken, you may need to add a little milk or water to the batter before cooking.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Please take care of your FLIP WAFFLE MAKER by following these simple cleaning directions.

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely.
Use a soft damp, warm & non-abrasive cloth to wipe down the upper & lower cooking plates and the exterior of the appliance.
Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. Dr the y athetheiance with a clean, soft, dry & non-abrasive cloth.
DO NOT put any parts in a dishwasher.
NEVER immerse appliances or electrical cords in water.

RECIPES – SWEET

CLASSIC WAFFLES

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
2 tbsp. cornmeal (optional)
1 3/4 cups milk
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. salt

In a mixer bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
Add sugar; continue beating just until stiff peaks form; set aside.

Stir in melted butter. Fold in beaten egg whites until combined. Pour batter onto ha ot, greased waffle ma,ke,r and bake.

Tip:
Cornstarch makes the waffles crisper. If you don’t have cornstarch, you could still make great waffles by increasing flour to 2 cups. Bake as directed.

Spoon the batter into your waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until cooked through.
