POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.  If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.  If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.  Do not modify the plug in any way.

Longer extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.  If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.  Arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children.

HOW TO USE YOUR WAFFLE IRON 

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. Also, it is recommended that you discard the first waffle from your new waffler.  

1. Before the first waffle of the day, use a pastry brush to carefully coat the entire surface of both halves of the waffler with vegetable oil or melted shortening. Spray shortenings work very well for this purpose. Repeat this only at the start of each day that you make waffles. 
2. Plug into a 120 V AC wall outlet. Allow the iron to heat. The indicator light will glow, indicating that the baker has begun preheating. When the baking temperature has been reached, the green READY light will turn on. The waffler is now ready for baking. 
3. Ladle just enough batter to fill the lower grid half full so that the peak area of the waffle pattern is covered. If necessary, a silicone spatula may be used to spread the batter evenly to be sure the corners are filled properly. 
4. Close the waffler. The cover will rise slightly as the waffles begin to bake. Do not open the cover,, or the waffles will split. After baking for 1 minute, flip the waffler over and let the waffler bake for an additional minute, for a total of 2 minutes. Now, flip the waffler back over and open. You’re done!

TIPS FOR BEST BAKING RESULTS

• Do not open the waffle during the first 90 seconds of baking.
• Do not attempt to remove waffles from the baker until they are completely cooked. Stir waffle batter just until large lumps disappear.  Do not over-mix
• An extra crispy waffle may be made by first beating the egg yolks, blending with flour & other ingredients, and then gently folding stiffly beaten egg whites into the batter.
