HOW TO USE  
1. Plug unit into a 120V AC outlet. The red power light will come on and the LCD will  
display ‘---‘.  
2. Press the On/Off button to turn the unit on. Press the Shade Button and select the  
desired setting. You can choose between 6 different shade levels.  
Light colored waffles – Shade 1 or 2  
Medium coloured waffles – Shade 3 or 4  
Dark coloured waffles – Shade 5 or 6  
NOTE: If you press the Shade Button to select the desired setting and then press  
the Rapid Button, the unit will heat faster and will make waffles slightly darker than  
the Shade chosen.  
3. Close the lid. As the unit is preheating, the Shade setting will be shown in the LCD  
display and small blocks will scroll across the bottom of the screen. (If you pressed  
the Rapid Button, all 6 blocks on the bottom of the screen will flash instead).  
4. Once the unit is preheated the Waffle Maker will beep and the Green Ready Light  
will illuminate. The blocks will stop scrolling across the LCD display or stop flashing  
if you pressed the Rapid Button.  
5. Open the lid and pour batter (approximately 3/4 -1 cup) to fill the lower cooking  
grid. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter into the corners of the grid.  
6. Close the lid and rotate the unit 180° to the right (clockwise). The LCD display will  
start to countdown. Do not open for at least 1-1/2 minutes. Opening too soon will  
cause under-baked waffles to split, making them difficult to remove.  
7. When the LCD display has finished the countdown, the waffle maker will beep to  
let you know the waffle is now ready. Rotate the waffle maker 180° to the left  
(counterclockwise). The waffles are done according to the Shade setting chosen.  
For a darker waffle, close the lid and continue baking until the desired color is  
achieved.  
8. At any time during the cooking cycle you can press the Reset Button to select a  
different Shade level.  
9. Once the waffles are cooked, carefully remove them from the Waffle Maker with a  
wooden or plastic spatula. Never touch the cooking surface with sharp, pointy or  
metal objects. This could damage the non-stick surface.  
10. To cook more waffles, there is no need to preheat the Waffle Maker. Simply follow  
steps 5 through 9 above.  
11. Once you are finished cooking, press the On/Off Button to turn the unit off,  
disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and leave unit open to cool.

HELPFUL HINTS  
1. Do not over mix batter or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until  
large lumps of dry ingredients disappear. The amount of batter required  
varies between 3/4 and 1 cup.  
2. To retain crispness, let the baked waffle cool on a wire rack to prevent  
steam from accumulating underneath.  
3. Cooled waffles can be re-warmed by returning them to the hot waffle  
maker. Set the Waffle Maker to Shade 1 or 2, place the waffle on the  
grid, close the lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to  
prevent burning.  
4. The Belgian Waffle Maker has a non-stick surface for even baking and  
easy cleaning.  
5. Waffles can be baked ahead of time. Prepare according to the recipes  
and cool on a rack for approximately 10 minutes. Store in your freezer  
for up to 2 weeks. Waffles can be heated by toasting in a toaster or  
toaster oven.  
6. Unused batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
1. Unplug the Waffle Maker and allow it to cool.  
2. Wipe the Cooking Plates with a cloth dampened with warm soapy water.  
DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT AND DO NOT RUN WATER DIRECTLY  
ONTO THE COOKING PLATES.  
3. Dry the cooking plates with a cloth or paper towel.  
4. Do not use steel wool pads or other abrasive cleansers on the Cooking  
Plates as they may damage the non-stick coating.  
5. If a small amount of batter has adhered to the Cooking Plates, pour a  
small amount of cooking oil onto the baked-on food and allow to stand  
for 5 – 10 minutes. Wipe with paper towels.  
6. Wipe the outside of the Waffle Maker with a soft cloth dampened in  
warm soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or steel wool.  
7. Rinse with a dampened clean cloth. Dry.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in  
or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in  
their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the  
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as  
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type,  
the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should  
be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it  
can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
