heat-resistant surface.
2. Ensure the appliance is closed, latched,
and rotated onto its side so that the dual
red/green Indicator Lights are facing
straight upward.
3. Plug the power cord into a 120V dedicated

6. Center the lling over the rst layer of
batter (Fig. ii) and cover with the remaining
batter, lling up to about three quarters of
the way to the top (Fig. iii). DO NOT ll all

Cooking Guidelines & Tips
Tips
• Wearing oven mitts/gloves can protect
against accidental contact with the heated
surfaces and escaping steam when
unlatching the appliance.
• Fillings such as meats, chicken, and eggs
should be cooked and frozen foods
should be thawed before using them to
make waffles. The cooking time is not long
enough and the cooking temperature
is not hot enough to adequately cook
uncooked food or heat frozen food used
for filling.
• The first layer of batter added should be as
little as needed to cover the waffle prongs
on the bottom of the appliance. After
sitting for a few seconds, the batter will
begin to rise a little. Then, add your filling
(centered in the middle of the batter). The
filling should not be placed near the edges
of the batter. After the filling is added,
cover it with the remaining batter, close the
lid, and flip the appliance.
• If using canned fruits that are in syrup or
vegetables that are in liquid (not pie filling),
drain as much liquid as possible before
using as a filling.
• If your filling is a more solid food, like diced
ham, scrambled eggs, or nuts, you can add
your filling and press it down into the batter
with the back of a spoon. Be sure to cover
the filling with the second layer of batter.
•
The 5-inch appliance can hold approximately
1 cup of batter for an unstuffed waffle. The
7-inch appliance can hold approximately
1½ cups of batter for an unstuffed waffle.
Stuffed waffles use less batter. The batter
should only fill to about three quarters
of the way to the top of the inside of the
appliance. Expect the batter to expand
during the cooking process.
• For maximum food safety, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture recommends
165° F/74° C for all poultry; 160° F/71° C
for ground beef, lamb, and pork; and
145°F/63° C, with a 3-minute resting
period, for all other types of beef, lamb,
and pork. Also review the USDA Food
Safety Standards.
• To prevent scratching the coating, use only
nonmetallic utensils. Do not lift or cut food
in the appliance using sharp utensils, such
as forks and knives, which can scratch the
cooking surface.
• Do not use steel wool or other metal pads.
They could leave coarse scratches. Always
rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with
a soft towel.
• Never stand the appliance up vertically
while cooking. Only stand up the appliance
for storage.
12 PowerXL Stuffed Wafizer
If Your Appliance Is Not Working Correctly
• Make sure the power cord is plugged into
a dedicated outlet.
• The appliance may not be able to draw
enough operating power from the outlet.
Try switching the power cord to an outlet
that has no other appliances attached to it.
• If the appliance cannot be latched shut,
make sure there is nothing blocking
or impeding the closure in anyway.
Additionally, make sure there is not too
much food or batter in the appliance.
• If the fillings have not been cooked or
heated completely: Ensure that fillings are
precooked if necessary and heated before
adding them to the appliance.

14 PowerXL Stuffed Wafizer
Does the appliance need time to heat up?
Yes. The appliance will preheat automatically
when plugged into an electrical outlet.
The green Indicator Light illuminates when
preheating is nished and cooking can begin.
How hot does this appliance get?
The temperature range is 302° F–374° F
(150° C–190° C).
How will I know when cooking is complete?
Check your food after 5–7 minutes.
How much wafe batter do I need?
The 5-inch appliance can hold approximately
1cup of batter for an unstuffed wafe. The 7-inch
appliance can hold approximately 1 ½ cups of
batter for an unstuffed wafe. Stuffed wafes use
less batter. The batter should only ll to about
three quarters of the way to the top of the inside
of the appliance. Expect the batter to expand
during the cooking process.
Can I make a wafe with no lling?
Yes. You will need approximately 1 cup of batter
for the 5-inch appliance or 1 ½ cups of batter for
the 7-inch appliance. Quantities of batter may vary
depending on your recipe and the batter used.
Stuffed wafes will use less batter. Never ll the
interior of the appliance above three-quarters
capacity. Refer to the recipe guide for examples of
the amounts of batter used with different llings.
Why did batter leak out of the sides during
the cooking cycle?
Too much batter was added.
Why are there gaps in my wafe or why is my
lling not covered?
Not enough batter was added before or after
adding the lling.
Why is the wafe not crispy?
You can leave your wafe in the appliance longer
to cook it more, making it crispier.
Can I use gluten-free or keto wafe batter in
this appliance?
Yes. Gluten-free our can be used to
make batters to use in the appliance. Follow
your recipe.
Can I use puréed fruit like applesauce in place
of oil in the batter recipes?
Yes, wafes can be made successfully using
puréed fruit as a substitute for oil.
When I lift the baked wafe, the wafe separates
and only the top half of the wafe comes out.
What I am doing wrong?
The wafe may have too much lling, the lling
might not be centered, the wafe has not been
baked long enough, or not enough batter has
been used. Make sure the lling is centered so
that the edges of the wafe can seal when it
cooks. Bake the wafe for another 30 seconds to
1 minute to allow the wafe to cook through.
How do I stop operation/cool the appliance?
You must unplug the appliance to stop the
heating process and allow at least 30 minutes
to cool.
What happens if the appliance still does not
work after I have tried all the troubleshooting
suggestions?
Never attempt home repair. Contact Customer
Service and follow the procedures set forth by
the manual. Failure to do so could render your
guarantee null and void.
