portable appliance manufacturers.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when using electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the waffle maker.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, never put the cord, plug, or unit in water
or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on
or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto Fac-
tory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer
may cause injuries. Use only genuine Presto
accessories and replacement parts.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot
liquid.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Important Cord Information
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.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly
exercised in their use. If an 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. The extension 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.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Getting Acquainted
Before using for the first time, become familiar
with the waffle maker features (Fig. A). Wipe the
waffle grids with a damp cloth before initial use.
Timer Operating Instructions
NOTE:
The timer works independently from the
unit; it does not turn the unit on or off.
1. Activate the timer by holding the button down
(Fig. A) until 00 is visible in the display screen.
2. Press the button once for each individual
minute or hold the button down to increase
the display time rapidly until you have reached the desired time. The timer can be set for
1 to 30 minutes. The timer will automatically begin counting down approximately two
seconds after it is set. To reset the timer to zero, press and hold the timer button for about
two seconds.
NOTE:
Shortly after you depress the button, the time remaining will flash on the screen.
It will continue to flash until the time has elapsed.
3. When there is just one minute left on the timer, you will hear two beeps to alert you that
time is almost up. In addition, the seconds remaining will now be displayed. When the
set time has expired, the timer will beep five times. After about one minute, the display
screen will go blank.
NOTE:
If the timer does not beep, this can be corrected by simply removing the battery,
wiping it clean, and then reinserting it. See page 7 for battery removal instructions.
How To Use
1. Place the unit on the countertop so the timer display is facing towards you and the cover
is closed (Fig. B). Plug the cord into a 120VAC electrical outlet and preheat the waffle
maker in the closed position. The signal light will glow (Fig. A).
When the unit has reached the correct temperature, the light will
go out indicating the unit is ready for use. Preheat time is short—
approximately 3 to 5 minutes. During cooking, the light will go
on and off indicating temperature is being maintained.
NOTE:
When using the waffle maker for the first time, a slight
odor or smoking may occur as manufacturing residue burns off.
This is normal during initial use.
2. While unit is preheating, prepare waffle batter.
NOTE:
Because the grids are covered with a ceramic non-
stick finish, there should be no need to apply vegetable oil.
No-stick cooking sprays are not recommended.
3. Pour ¾ to 1 cup batter into the center of the bottom waffle
grid (Fig. C). The amount of waffle batter needed may vary
with the recipe or brand of batter mix used.
