Plug cord into wall outlet. The red
Power ON light will glow.
TIP: A small amount of nonstick
cooking spray can be used on the
plates before preheating.
Choose desired waffle temperature
setting and preheat with cover
closed until the green READY
light comes on.
TIP: Waffle color and crispness
are determined by the
temperature of the plates. The
higher the temperature, the
browner and crisper the waffle.
Raise cover and pour 2 spoons
(240 ml) of batter onto center
of bottom cooking plate. Lower
cover.
TIP: When adding nuts, fruits,
or chocolate chips to your waffle,
reduce the waffle batter by
2 Tablespoons (30 ml).

Waffles are done in about 6 to
8 minutes, depending on the
setting, recipe, when the green
READY light turns back on, or
when steaming begins to stop.
Do not preheat or operate unit
unless plates are in place.
Using an oven mitt, open cover. Remove waffle with plastic or
wooden utensil. Never use metal. This will damage the nonstick
coating of the appliance. Turn control to “MIN.” Unplug unit when
through cooking. Let cool.
WARNING! Burn Hazard. Always use an oven mitt to protect hand
when opening a hot waffle maker. Escaping steam can burn.
