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 t in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
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.

HOW TO USE
1. Place the Removable Drip Tray in position on the Base/Support
underneath the Cooking Plates.
2. Plug unit into a 120V AC outlet. The Indicator Light will come on.
3. Close the lid until the unit is preheated and the Indicator Light goes
o.
4. To make a single wae:
Press the Release Button and open the lid (side that says “FILL
THIS SIDE FIRST”) and pour batter (approx. ¾ cup) to ll the lower
cooking plate. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter to
the edges of the cooking plate. NOTE: Although it is not necessary,
you may lightly coat the cooking plates with a little cooking oil or a
cooking spray prior to pouring batter.
5. Close the lid. The Indicator Light will come on.
6. Rotate the unit 180° to the right (clockwise). NOTE: DO NOT open
for at least 1 1/2 minutes. Opening too soon will cause under-baked
waes to split, making them dicult to remove.
7. After about 2 minutes, rotate the unit back 180° to the left
(counterclockwise).
8. Steam will escape from the wae maker as the wae is cooking.
9. The wae is done when there is no more steam escaping from the
wae maker and the Indicator Light goes o.
10. Once the wae is cooked, carefully remove it from the wae 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. NOTE: For a darker wae, close the lid and continue
baking until the desired color is achieved.
11. To make two waes:
Follow steps 4 to 6. Press the Release Button and open the lid on
the secondary side and pour batter (approx. ¾ cup) to ll the lower
cooking plate. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter to the

12. Close the lid. The Indicator Light will come on. Rotate the unit back
180° to the left (counterclockwise) to the original position (the side
with the words “FILL THIS SIDE FIRST”)
13. Steam will escape from the wae maker as the wae is cooking.
14. The wae is done when there is no more steam escaping from the
wae maker and the Indicator Light goes o.
15. Once the wae is cooked, carefully remove it from the wae 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. NOTE: For a darker wae, close the lid and continue
baking until the desired color is achieved.
16. Once the 1st wae is removed, rotate the wae maker 180° to the
right (clockwise) and monitor, until the Indicator Light goes o.
17. Once the 2nd wae is cooked, carefully remove it from the wae
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. Again for a darker wae, close the lid and
continue baking until desired color is achieved.
18. Once you are nished cooking, disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet and leave unit open to cool.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. DO NOT over mix batter or waes 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 wae cool on a wire rack to
prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
3. Cooled waes can be re-warmed by returning them to the hot wae
maker. Place the wae on the grid, close the lid and heat for 1 to 2
minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
4. The Belgian Wae Maker has a non-stick surface for even baking
and easy cleaning.
5. Waes 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. Waes 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.
