IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions before use.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electric shock, do not immerse ccords plugs, or aappliancesin 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 to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate the 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 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.
- Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
Polarization instructions
- If this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), it is 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.
Short Cord instructions
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord or 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 3-wire cord;
- The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
BEFORE USE
- Remove all packaging and stickers from your waffle maker and wipe the housing and plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue remaining from manufacturing.
- We recommend seasoning the non-stick plates with cooking spray or oil before use. For best results, it is suggested to repeat this process at the start of each use.
ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY
- Open the lid of the waffle maker by depressing the release latch located on the underside of the handle and lifting it up.
- To remove waffle plates
- Be sure the plates are completely cool.
- Press the upper plate release button (located on the left side of the lid above the indicator lights) with one hand, while removing the plate with the other hand.
- Repeat the process with the lower plates (release button located on the left bottom housing).
- To replace waffle plates
- Insert the waffle plate tabs into the unit and press down. You will hear the plates click into place.
IMPORTANT
The appliance might generate a slight odor or smoke the first time it is used; this is normal.
OPERATION
- Make sure the plates are in place and the selector knob is turned to the OFF position. Plug in the waffle maker.
- Turn on the heater and begin preheating by selecting the desired setting with the Selector Knob (Setting 1 will results in the lightest waffle; setting 5 is the darkest). Pre-heat the waffle maker in the closed position.
- The red ON indicator will light to indicate that the waffle maker is on and heating.
NOTE:
The Removable Plates have a non-stick cooking surface that may emit a slight odor during first use. This is normal and commonly occurs with non-stick coatings. - When the waffle maker has reached the selected temperature and is ready to bake, the green READY indicator will light and the audible tone will sound
- Lift the lid and add batter. Then close the lid again to cook.
NOTE:
There will be some steam during cooking. This is normal. - When your waffles are ready, the audible tone will sound and the READY indicator will light again.
- Carefully remove your waffle and enjoy.
- If making more than one waffle, once your first waffle is removed – repeat the baking process by adding more batter (step 3a).
- To turn off your waffle maker at any time, turn the selector knob to the OFF position.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
- When you are finished cooking, turn the temperature knob Off and unplug the power cord. Allow the unit to cool down completely before handling.
- Press the plate release buttons to remove plates from the housing. Be sure that the plates have cooled completely before handling.
- We recommend cleaning the plates after every use. The plate should be washed in warm soapy water or a dishwasher. Failing to do so may negatively impact the non-stick coating performance. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad on the non-stick coating.
- To clean the exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
