♦ If you have leftover waffles, freeze them. Cool extra
waffles to room temperature. Place them between layers
of waxed paper in a resealable plastic freezer bag. When
ready to serve, pop the frozen waffles into your toaster
or reheat them in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
Care, Cleaning, and Storage
1. Unplug unit and allow to cool completely before clean-
ing. Never immerse waffle maker in water or other liquid
or wash in a dishwasher.
2. Brush any loose crumbs from the waffle grids. Then wipe
the grids with a paper towel or cloth.
3. Should any batter become baked onto the grids or the
outside of the unit, apply a small amount of cooking oil
to the batter. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to soften
and wipe off with a paper towel or cloth.
4. Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth.
Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen
cleaners on the unit.
5. For compact vertical storage, rotate waffle maker to
upright position (Fig. G). While holding the handles
together, lock in position by carefully flipping up one
of the red locking levers from the grooves in the hinged
base (Fig. H and Fig. I).
Before the next use, remember to unlock the waffle
maker from its storage position (Fig. I) by dropping
the red locking levers (Fig. H) back in towards the
base.
Replacing the Timer Battery
The battery used in the waffle maker is a CR2032 3V lithium
battery which will seldom need to be replaced. If you ever
need to replace the battery, follow the instructions below.
1. On the left and right side of the timer is an undercut.
Use your fingernail or insert a thin object, such as a
butter knife, in the undercut (Fig. J) on the left side of
the timer and lift that side of the timer away from the
waffle maker.
Hold that side of the timer with your finger to prevent it from
slipping back in the waffle maker and insert your fingernail
or the knife in the undercut on the right side of the timer
and lift that side away from the waffle maker. Now pull the
timer out completely from the opening in the waffle maker
(Fig. M).
2. Turn the timer over so the back side is facing up. Using a
small Phillips screwdriver, loosen the large screw on the
battery compartment cover. (Screw is not intended to be
removed.) Lift the cover off (Fig. K).
3. Using a small paring knife, or some other narrow object,
carefully press near the top of the interlock spring towards
the wall of the timer to release the battery from under the
hooks (Fig. L). Use the tip of the knife to remove the battery
and discard.
4. Position the new CR2032 3V lithium battery, with writing
facing up, in compartment (Fig. L) fitting it underneath
the plastic edge. Push battery down on the side by the
interlock spring until the battery snaps into position
under the hooks.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover. Fit the tab
opposite the screw in the slot on the timer and align
the screw with the screw hole. Tighten the screw. Turn
the timer over and press the button to make sure it is
operating.
6. Place the timer back in the waffle maker by aligning
the rib on the timer with the notch in the opening on
the side of the waffle maker (Fig. M). Push the timer in so it is securely positioned.
