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 (Fig. A) down 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. note: Shortly after you depress the but-
ton, the time remaining will flash on the screen. It will continue
to flash until the time has elapsed.
To reset the timer to zero, press and hold the timer button for
about two seconds.
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 5 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 an 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.
3. Before the first use after the unit has preheated, use a brush or paper towel and apply a light
coating of cooking oil to the grids. The oil seasons the grids and thereafter you typically
will not need to apply oil every time, unless you are making a dessert waffle. If you find it
difficult to remove a waffle, be sure to apply a light coating of cooking oil during your next
use.
4. Pour approximately ¾ to 1 cup waffle 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.
If using the recipes in this booklet (page 4), refer to them for the recommended amount of
batter.
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 in-
tended 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.
