A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available and may be  
used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used,  
1) The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.  
2) If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an extension cord rated a minimum  
of 15 ampere, 14 gage cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may  
overheat.  
3) An extension cord with the power cord must be arranged so that it will not drape  
over the countertop or tabletop where they can be pulled on by children or tripped  
over accidentally.

OPERATION  
Before rst use  
Carefully remove the appliance from the packaging and retain the packaging for  
future use.  
Place the appliance on a flat, dry, stable and heat-resistant surface.  
Loosen the tie (4) and unwind the power cord (3) completely.  
Remove all stickers from the appliance.  
a
Place the collection tray (6) on the base (5) (ill.  
). Make sure the 4 plastic pins  
lock onto the grooves on the base (5). The collection tray (6) will collect dripping  
batter and oil from the waffle plates (7, 8). Do not operate the appliance without  
the collection tray (6).  
Connect the power plug (3) to a suitable wall outlet.  
Note: The appliance may produce an odor and emit smoke when switched on  
for the first time, as residues from the production process are eliminated. This is  
normal and does not indicate a defect or hazard.  
When using the appliance for the first time, we recommend to heat it for at least  
10 minutes without batter, oil, or ingredients ( Operation), until no odor or smoke  
is present. During baking, ensure ample ventilation.

OPERATION  
Note: Some batters may need to settle a while before baking waffles. Prepare the  
waffle batter well in advance ( Recipes).  
WarninG! Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after  
the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Call  
our toll-free customer assistance number for information on examination, repair, or  
adjustment.  
WarninG! Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.  
Baking wafes  
fill the measuring cup (13) to the 5oz. mark with batter. Pour and spread the batter  
f
evenly on the lower waffle plate (7) (ill.  
).  
Note: Do not pour too much batter, as excess batter might drip out of the waffle  
plates (7, 8) during baking process.  
g
Close the upper cover (9) (ill.  
).  
Turn the waffle plates (7, 8) clockwise 180 degrees with the handle (10) until they  
h
lock into place (ill.  
). This ensures even spreading of the batter on both waffle  
plates.  
Let the appliance run until the green light comes oN or until waffles have the  
desired browning or until the appliance stops steaming. This process takes 2 to 3  
minutes. The result can vary from golden brown to crispy brown baked waffles (7, 8).  
Turn the waffle maker to its original position. Lift up the upper cover (9) by the  
handle (10). Remove the baked waffles with a heat-proof wooden or plastic spatula.  
We recommend to use oven mittens to protect your hands when opening the hot  
waffle maker. Escaping steam and the hot waffle plates (7, 8) might cause burns.  
Note: If waffles are not to be served immediately, place them on a paper tissue  
or cooling rack to absorb condensation. When served later, just reheat them  
(
Tips for making waffles).  
After removing the waffles, keep the waffle plates (7, 8) closed so that the heat  
remains inside the appliance for the next set of waffles. Wait until the ready  
indicators (2, 12) light up again. Then, fill with more waffle batter.

OPERATION  
After use, remove the power plug (3) from the wall outlet. The power indicator (1)  
goes off.  
Note: The power indicator (1) stays lit continuously until the power plug (3) is  
disconnected from the wall outlet.  
Let the waffle maker cool completely before cleaning and storing.  
Tips for making wafes  
Most waffle batter can be poured directly onto the non-stick waffle plates (7, 8).  
Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles or any recipe with a lot of sugar.  
The ideal baking time for a whole baking cycle depends on many factors, e. g. the  
amount of batter used (12 cup to 34 cup), thickness of batter used, ingredients, etc.  
Most waffles are done in about 2 to 3 minutes. If the upper cover (9) is not easily  
lifted up, let the waffle maker run 1 more minute before checking the browning  
level.  
Avoid opening the upper cover (9) repeatedly during baking, otherwise the waffles  
will stick on the waffle plates (7, 8); or they might not be baked at all.  
The ideal browning level will depend on your taste, batter ingredients, baking time,  
and room temperature as well. Sugary batter, for example, will turn brownish  
quicker. Please try several times to find your favorite setting.  
Waffles can be made ahead of time and stored for future use. Before storing, let  
them cool completely and then pack in an airtight container. Store in refrigerator or  
freezer. When enjoying later, just reheat them in a microwave oven, a toaster oven,  
or a regular oven.
