appliance.
•  Do not operate any appliance with a damaged 
cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions 
or has been damaged in any manner. Contact 
consumer support at the toll-free number 
listed in the warranty section. 
•  The use of accessory attachments not 
recommended by the appliance manufacturer 
may cause injuries. 
•  Do not use outdoors. 
•  Do not let cord hang over edge of table or

•  Do not place on or near a hot gas or 
electric burner, or in a heated oven. 
•  Extreme caution must be used when 
moving an appliance containing hot food. 
•  Do not use appliance for other than  intended use. 
•  This appliance is not intended for use by 
persons (including children) with reduced 
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or 
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they 
have been given supervision or instructions 
concerning use of the appliance by a person 
responsible for their safety. 
•  Children should be supervised to ensure that 
they do not play with the appliance.
•  When using the appliance, provide adequate 
air space above and on all sides for circulation. 
•  Do not use this appliance on an unstable 
surface.

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

Warning:  This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer 
cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There 
are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel. 
ELECTRICAL C\fRD
1.    A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or 
tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long extension cord is used:
    a)   The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical 
rating of the appliance.
    b)   If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 
3-wire cord.
    c)   The longer 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. 
Note:  If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.   
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

BAKING WAFFLES
1. Before first \fse, condition the nonstick w\bffle pl\btes by 
br\fshing or wiping \b light co\bting of non-\berosol cooking 
oil (veget\bble, c\bnol\b, or corn oil) onto the entire cooking 
s\frf\bce. Wipe off excess oil with p\bper towel.
 
Note:  \fo not use cooking spray as it can cause 
residue to build up on the plates and decrease the 
effecti\beness of the non-stick coating .
2.  With the lid closed, pl\fg in the w\bffle m\bker. The 
or\bnge prehe\bt light (B) will ill\fmin\bte \bnd the w\bffle

5.  Close the lid. The green re\bdy light will cycle off \bnd 
on while b\bking. This is not \bn indic\btion th\bt the w\bffle is done. The w\bffle iron 
is reg\fl\bting he\bt while cooking.
6.  Cook w\bffle for 4–5 min\ftes, depending on the type of b\btter \fsed. Avoid 
opening the w\bffle m\bker \bs this m\by c\b\fse the w\bffle to stick or b\bke poorly.
