OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the closed waffle iron on a clean, flat

surface where you intend to bake.

2. Plug the power cord in a standard electrical

outlet.

3. Turn the control dial clockwise from the

OFF position to the desired browning setting.

Setting #1 for the lightest colour waffles and

setting #6 for the darkest colour waffles.

We recommend using setting #3 for golden

brown waffles.

The red indicator light will turn on to signal

power. Allow the waffle iron to preheat.

When the waffle iron has reached desired

temperature, the green indicator light will turn

on and the audible tone will sound. You are

now ready to begin baking.

Note: The first time you use your waffle

iron it may have a slight odour and may

smoke a bit. This is normal, and common

to appliances with a nonstick surface.

4. Lift lid of waffle iron by grasping the handle

and pushing back and up in one fluid motion.

Lid will stay open at 105° position until you

lower it.

5. Pour batter onto the centre of the lower waffle

grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread

batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid.

The waffle iron will automatically latch shut

when you lower the lid. The green light will

turn off but the red light will stay illuminated.

6. Baking time is determined by the browning

level that you chose in Step 3. It may take

up to 5 minutes to bake your waffle on

setting #6.

7. When the waffles are ready to eat, the green

light will turn on and the audible tone will

sound. Remove waffles by gently loosening

the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula

or wooden spatula. Never use metal utensils,

as they will damage the nonstick coating.

8. When you are finished baking, turn the

control dial counterclockwise to the OFF

setting. The red indicator light will turn off.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Allow the waffle iron to cool down completely

before handling.

CLEANING AND CARE

Once you have finished baking, turn the control

dial to the OFF position and remove plug from

electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids

begin to cool. Allow waffle iron to cool down

completely before handling.

Never take your waffle iron apart for cleaning.

Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb

any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth

or paper towel.

You may also clean the grids by wiping with a

damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from

batter or oil buildup.

Be certain grids have

cooled completely before cleaning.

If batter

adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking

oil onto the baked batter and let stand approxi-

mately 5 minutes, thus allowing it to soften for

easy removal.

To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth.

Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad.

NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN

WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

STORAGE

Store with cord wrapped

securely. For compact

storage, stand waffle iron

upright on back end with

control panel facing up.

The waffle iron has been

designed with a special

latching feature so lid stays

closed during storage.

TIPS TO MAKE

PERFECT WAFFLES

We recommend setting #3 or #4 for golden

brown waffles, either from mix or homemade.

If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the

browning control.

For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the

centre of the lower grid and spread out evenly to

the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.

We recommend using 1

⁄2 cups (375 mL) batter

per waffle for most recipes.

Waffles are best when made to order, but pre-

baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200° F

(95°C) oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil

while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may

lose their crispiness.

Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool

completely; then place in plastic food storage

bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles

separated. Reheat in toaster or toaster

oven when ready to use.

SUGGESTED TOPPINGS

Maple syrup, fruit syrups

Warm fruit compote, fruit sauce

Fresh berries, chopped fruit

Chopped nuts

Powdered sugar

Whipped cream
