For best results, follow these simple instructions. Note that when your waffler is new, you may
notice some slight smoking or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not
recur. This does not affect the safety of your appliance. However, it is recommended that you
discard the first set of waffles from your new waffler.

discard the first set of waffles from your new waffler.
1.
Set the Waffle Browning Control to your desired setting. At first, try a
setting between 3 & 4. You may later adjust it to be lower or higher according
to your preference. A lower setting produces a lighter waffle, while waffles
made at a higher setting are darker and crispier. Different waffle batters will
also cook up differently. Over time, you will find your perfect setting for the
batter you use.

2.
Close the waffler and plug into 110/120 volt AC wall outlet. The red
indicator light will begin to glow, indicating that the waffler has begun
preheating. It will take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking
temperature. The red power light will remain on until you unplug your waffler.

3.
Before baking the first waffle of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the
top and bottom waffle grids with vegetable oil or melted shortening. You’ll
find that spray shortenings work well for this purpose. Repeat this only at
the start of each day you bake waffles.

5.
Ladle just enough batter to fill the 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 the grid. At this point the green light will go off as the baking
cycle begins.

11. When you are finished baking, simply unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet to turn the waffler off and leave the waffler open to allow it to cool.
After it has cooled, brush any crumbs from the grooves and wipe off the
grids with a dry paper towel to absorb any excess margarine or shortening.
