WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it
into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer
detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Do not place the appliance
on a stovetop or any other
hot surface.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks.
If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and
the power cord replaced. Please contact Chefman Customer Support for
assistance.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue
stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and
break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE
OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke
and/ or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur
after appliance has been used a few more times.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging materials. Read and discard any stickers.
2. If necessary, wipe nonstick cooking plates with a damp cloth to
remove any packing dust.
3. For best results, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil on to the nonstick
plates. Spread over with a paper towel and wipe off any excess oil.
HOW TO USE THE WAFFLE MAKER
1. Prepare waffle batter.
2. Close the waffle maker and plug it into the wall outlet; a red power
light will turn on.
3. Set the browning control knob according to your preference for
lighter or darker waffles.
4. Wait for the green indicator light to come on. This shows that the waffle
maker has reached its optimum cooking temperature and is ready to
cook with. (The waffle maker usually takes 3-5 minutes to heat.)
5. When green light comes on, open waffle maker and pour batter onto
bottom plate starting in the center of the grid; use just enough batter
to just cover the peak areas of the grids. If batter is very thick, use a
heatproof spatula to spread the batter into the corners of the grid.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7
NOTE: The amount of batter you use will vary depending on recipe
and thickness.
6. Cook waffles until green ready indicator light comes back on. Open
waffle maker to check for doneness; if you would like waffle to be
darker, shut waffle maker and cook longer.
NOTE: Do not open waffle maker during the first minute of
cooking as uncooked waffles will split. If top of waffle maker resists
when attempting to lift, allow waffle to cook longer in 30-second
increments.
7. Remove waffles from waffle maker using non-metallic utensils.
8. Waffles are best cooked to order, but they can be kept warm in a
200°F oven. To retain crispness, transfer them directly to oven rack or
place on a rack on a baking sheet.
9. If making more than one batch of waffles, close waffle maker and wait
for green ready indicator light to come back on before adding more
batter.
10. When baking is complete, turn the browning control knob to zero and
unplug the power cord from wall outlet. Leave waffle maker open to
cool. Do not clean until unit has cooled completely.

WAFFLE BAKING TIPS
• When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will be
tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
• Never use nonstick spray on cooking plates. Nonstick spray will cause
build-up over time, which may cause sticking. If desired, brush plates
with a small amount of cooking oil instead, such as canola, vegetable
or grapeseed.
• To reheat already cooled waffles, return them to the hot waffle maker.
Place waffles on plate so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to
2 minutes, checking often to prevent burning.
• Baked waffles freeze well. To freeze, cool completely on wire rack,
then store airtight in the freezer. Do not defrost; reheat frozen waffles
in a toaster or toaster oven until hot and crisp.
• Experiment beyond waffles: Try “waffling” other kinds of foods,
including quesadillas, grilled cheese, tater tots, and even apple pie.

Here are a few easy steps to keep your waffle maker looking and working
like new:
1. Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2. Brush away any loose crumbs from the grooves of cooking plates.
Wipe clean with a paper towel or a damp cloth, absorbing any oil or
butter that might be down in the grooves. Do not use any abrasive
materials, including scouring pads or steel wool, as this will damage
the nonstick coating.
3. Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only. Do not
clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as
this will damage the finish. A little metal polish suitable for stainless
steel may be used occasionally on the top housing. Do not immerse in
water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.
4. Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking
oil onto the hardened batter. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften batter,
then wipe off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
5. Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles; they can damage
the non-stick surface.
