To use the waffle maker:

1. set the browning dial to your desired setting (1-4). A lower setting produces a
lighter waffle. the higher settings are darker and crispier. Different waffle
batters will cook differently. With just a little trial, you will find your perfect
setting for the batter you are using.
2. Close the waffle maker and plug into 110-120 vAC wall outlet. You will see the
blue power light go on, indicating that the baker has power and is ready for
preheating. Blue power light will remain on until you unplug the unit.
3. Before each use, lightly coat the top and bottom waffle grids with a non-stick
spray or brush with vegetable oil.
4. When the proper baking temperature is reached the green ready light will go
on. initially it will take about 3-5 minutes to reach baking temperature. once
heated, ready times will be faster.
5. Ladle just enough batter to fill lower grid so that the peak areas of the grid are
covered. if necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter into the corners of
grid. At this point the green light will go oFF as the baking cycle begins.
6. Close the baker and rotate. When the green ready light illuminates, rotate the
waffle maker again and open cover. opening too soon will cause unbaked
waffles to split, and make them difficult to remove.

7. if you want darker waffles, close the lid and continue cooking, checking every
30 seconds.
8. remove waffles from the grid with a non-metallic utensil.
9. For best results on your next waffle, wait until green ready light illuminates and
use non-stick spray before pouring batter.
10. When you are finished baking, unplug unit from wall outlet. Blue power light
will go oFF. Leave baker open to allow to cool. After cooling, grids may be
wiped clean with paper towels.
11. When storing, non-skid feet may be rotated inward to save room.
