WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, 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.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
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 cord set or extension cord should be at least as

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the Waffle
Maker. Gently wipe down the exterior and interior plates with a damp cloth or paper
towel. Dry completely. Never immerse the Waffle Maker, the cord or the plug in water
or any other liquids. Wash the measuring cup and cleaning tool with warm, soapy
water and a sponge. Dry completely.
Set the Waffle Maker on a dry, flat and steady surface.
Read all instructions and follow them carefully.
QUICK START GUIDE
HOW TO USE
Prepare waffle batter. For best results, use a thin batter. Thick batters may clog the pour
spout and result in waffles that are not completely full. Thick waffle batters may often
be thinned out by stirring a few more times. All batters vary.
Ensure that the pour spout is attached to the top of the Waffle Maker: The base of the
pour spout should be inserted into the opening on the top of the Waffle Maker, and the
handle should be aligned with the lock symbol.
Plug the Waffle Maker into a wall outlet. The red light located on the top of the Waffle
Maker will illuminate and the Waffle Maker will begin to preheat. After about 5 minutes,
when the Waffle Maker is fully heated, the blue light will illuminate as well.
Use the included measuring cup to scoop the batter. Fill the measuring cup completely.
STEP 1
Remove pour spout
stored in base of waffle
maker.
STEP 2
Insert and twist to lock
pour spout into place.
Plug in waffle maker.
STEP 3
When blue light illuminates,
sse included measuring cup
to pour in the batter.
STEP 4
When ready, remove
waffle and enjoy!

MODEL: RJ04-4RV-V2
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Never use non-stick spray on cooking plates. Non-stick spray will cause build-up
over time, which may cause sticking. If desired, brush with a small amount of cooking oil
instead, such as canola, vegetable or grapeseed.
In a thin, steady stream, pour the waffle batter into the pour spout. If the pour spout
clogs, carefully use the measuring cup to scrape the extra waffle batter into the Waffle
Maker. The handle of the measuring cup is designed to rest on the side of your bowl.
CAUTION: Never place your face or other parts of your body over the pour spout as the
waffle is cooking or over the steam vents located on the side of the Waffle Maker. Hot
steam escapes from the pour spout and vents during cooking and can potentially cause
burns.
Once the waffle batter is poured into the Waffle Maker, the blue light will switch off and
only the red light will remain illuminated. After about 4 1/2 minutes, the blue light will
re-illuminate, indicating that the waffle is ready. For a darker, crispier waffle, allow
waffle to cook for longer.
To remove cooked waffle, carefully use your thumb to press the latch release button
located on the underside of the handle in the center. Carefully lift the lid.
CAUTION: Hot steam may escape when lifting the lid. Keep your hands and face at a safe
distance away to avoid potential burns.
Use silicone-tipped tongs to remove the cooked waffle and transfer to a plate. Serve
immediately. If not serving immediately, transfer cooked waffles to a sheet pan equipped
with a wire rack—the wire rack will help prevent the waffles from getting soggy. Keep
warm in a 200°F oven.
Before making subsequent waffles, use the silicone-tipped tongs to remove the excess
batter from the pour spout. You may also use the cleaning tool. See “How to Use the
Cleaning Tool” on page 8.
Unplug Waffle Maker when done to turn off.

MODEL: RJ04-4RV-V2
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE THE CLEANING TOOL
Use the flat end of the cleaning tool to scrape excess batter out of the pour spout.
Twist the handle on the pour spout clockwise. Lift to remove.
Use the pronged side of the cleaning tool to push batter out of the bottom of the pour
spout.
CAUTION: Pour spout is very hot.
The pronged side of the cleaning tool may also be used to push batter out of the
windowpane located on the top of the waffle maker. Always push batter into the
Waffle Maker while the Waffle Maker is in the closed position. Never use the cleaning
tool on the Waffle Maker when it is in the open position. Plates are very hot and may
cause burns.

MODEL: RJ04-4RV-V2
TIPS
When making waffle mix, do not overmix. Whisk by hand, or use a mixer on very slow
speed, just until large lumps disappear.
The optimal amount of batter to produce a full waffle varies based on brand and
thickness of waffle batter.
Thin waffle batters work best. If waffle batter is too thick, it will clog the pour spout and
result in a waffle that is not completely full. Thick waffle batters may often be thinned out
by stirring a few more times.
If using mix-ins, such as nuts, chocolate or fruit, chop them very small (like the size of
mini chocolate chips.)
We recommend using no more than a heaping tablespoon of mix-ins per cup of batter.
Using mix-ins may take some experimenting. Try mixing them into a single cup of batter
at first, and baking one waffle at a time, until you perfect your ratio of mix-ins to batter.
Do not open Waffle Maker during the first minute of cooking; waffles will separate. For
optimal results, allow waffle to cook completely by completing full cooking cycle.
If top of Waffle Maker resists when attempting to lift it after cooking waffle, allow waffle
to cook for longer in 30-second increments.
Never use non-stick spray on cooking plates. Non-stick spray will cause build-up over
time, which may cause sticking. If desired, brush with a small amount of cooking oil
instead, such as canola, vegetable or grapeseed.
For crispier, darker waffles, allow waffle to cook for longer after the blue light illuminates.
Cake-based waffles are more tender than regular waffles and may require more care
when removing from Waffle Maker. Use silicone-tipped tongs and a spatula for support.
Waffle results will vary based on brand of waffle mix or recipe used.
Serve waffles immediately, or place on a sheet pan equipped with a wire rack—the wire
rack will help prevent the waffles from getting soggy. Keep warm in a 200°F oven.
Cooked waffles freeze well. Cool completely and wrap in wax paper. Transfer to a sealed
plastic bag or wrap in aluminum foil. Reheat waffles in a toaster, toaster oven or oven.

MODEL: RJ04-4RV-V2
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Unplug Waffle Maker when done. Cool completely. Use a soft bristle brush, such as a
pastry brush, or paper towel to brush away crumbs from the plates.
The Waffle Maker does not disassemble for cleaning. Gently wipe down the exterior and
interior plates (if necessary) with a damp cloth or paper towel.
To remove batter that has cooked onto the plates, pour a small amount of cooking oil
onto the hardened batter. Allow to set for 5 minutes, then wipe off. Never use coarse
scouring pads and steel wool.
Never immerse the Waffle Maker, the cord or the plug in water or any other liquids.
The pour spout is removable. The pour spout and measuring cup may be washed with
warm, soapy water or a sponge.
Always allow all parts to dry completely.
The pour spout may be stored on the bottom of the Waffle Maker. When the Waffle
Maker is completely cool and dry, flip it over. Align the line on the pour spout handle
with the unlock symbol on the bottom of the Waffle Maker. Twist the handle clockwise
to align the line with the lock symbol.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the Waffle Maker. Do not put any stress on cord
where it enters the unit.
Store in a cool, dry place.
