Operating Instructions
1. Unfold handle and lift top cooking plate. Make sure the Rotating Waffle Maker’s bottom cooking plate is
positioned flat and locked into a stable position. Before baking the first waffles of the day, use a pastry
brush to lightly coat the top and bottom waffle plates with vegetable oil. Do not use non-stick sprays as
they can cause build-up on the cooking plates.
2. Plug unit into a 120 V AC electrical outlet. The red POWER light will illuminate and remain lighted during use.
NOTE: When your Rotating Waffle Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This
is normal and should disappear after one or two uses. This does not affect the safety of the appliance.
However, as it may affect the flavor of the first waffles prepared in the Waffle Maker, it is recommended
that these be discarded.

6. Set the waffle temperature control to the desired setting. A lower setting produces a lighter browned
waffle, while waffles made at a higher setting are darker and crispier. When preparing a recipe for the first
time, set the control to the middle; then adjust according to preference. Recipes will vary in cook time and
brownness; batters with more sugar will brown quicker. Note the perfect setting for each batter recipe for
future use.
7. Pour or ladle 3/4 to 1 cup batter onto the bottom cooking plate. Add just enough batter to fill lower grid so
that the peak area is covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter in to the corners of the plate.
Try not to overfill, batter will expand when cooked.
The drip tray will catch any spilled-over batter.
8. The blue READY light will turn off as the baking cycle begins.
