OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Place the closed waffle maker on a clean, 

flat surface where you intend to use it.

2.  Plug the power cord into a standard  

electrical outlet.

3.  Move the temperature slide control to the 

desired browning setting – setting #1 for 

the lightest color waffles and setting #5 for 

the darkest color waffles. 

The red indicator light will turn on to signal that 

the power is on and the unit will begin to heat. 

When the waffle maker has reached desired tem-

perature, the green indicator light will turn on. You 

are now ready to begin.

Note:

 The first time you use your waffle maker it 

may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This  

is normal, and common to appliances with a  

nonstick surface.

4.  Lift lid of waffle maker by grasping the 

handle and pushing up in one fluid motion. 

Lid will stay open at a 105° position until 

you lower it.

5.   Pour batter onto the center of the lower  

waffle grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to 

spread batter evenly over the grid. Close  

the lid. The green light will turn off but the 

red light will stay illuminated.

6.  Baking time is determined by the browning 

level that you chose in Step 3. It may take  

up to 6 minutes to bake your waffles on  

setting #5.

7.  When the waffles are ready, the green light 

will turn on. Remove the waffles by gently 

loosening the edges with a heat-proof 

plastic spatula or wooden spatula. Never 

use metal utensils, as they will damage the 

nonstick coating.

8.  When you are finished baking, unplug the 

power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the 

waffle maker to cool down completely 

before handling.

CLEANING, CARE AND 

MAINTENANCE

Once you have finished baking, remove plug from 

electrical outlet. Leave lid open so grids begin to 

cool. Allow waffle maker to cool down completely 

before handling.
Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning. 

Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb  

any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth  

or paper towel.
You may also clean the grids by wiping with a 

damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from 

batter or oil buildup. 

Be certain grids have 

cooled completely before cleaning.

 If batter 

adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking 

oil onto the baked batter and let stand approxi-

mately 5 minutes, allowing it to soften for easy 

removal.
To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Never 

use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. 

NEVER 

IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER  

OR OTHER LIQUID. NEVER WASH UNDER TAP 

WATER.

Any other servicing should be 

performed by an authorized 

service representative.

STORAGE/

LOCKING LID

Store with cord wrapped 

securely under base. For  

compact storage, stand  

waffle maker on back end  

with control panel facing up. 

The waffle maker has been designed with a spe-

cial latching feature so the lid stays closed during 

storage.
