How to Use

This appliance is for household use only.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. 1. Remove the cooking grids by pressing down on the grid clips at the front of the unit and sliding the grids forward and out. Wash them in hot, sudsy water, rinse, dry thoroughly, and replace them in the unit. When replacing the grids, be sure the lip of each grid fits into the notch at the back of the unit and that each is securely clipped into place before plugging in and operating. Grids should have matching surfaces.
2. 2. IMPORTANT: Condition the non-stick cooking surfaces with a light coating of cooking oil before first use. Do not use non-stick cooking spray to “condition.” Brush the oil onto the cooking surfaces or wipe on with a paper towel. Be sure to coat the cooking surfaces as this will reduce sticking. Wipe off excess oil with paper towels. The first waffle may absorb excess oil and appear greasy. If so, discard it.

BAKING WAFFLES

1. Be sure the Cooking Grids are securely attached with the waffle sides showing. Close the unit and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet
   
2. Turn the control knob to WAFFLES. The signal light (A) will come on to indicate the unit is heating. Use the pre-heat time to prepare your batter (see “Recipes”). When the signal light goes out (from 5-8 minutes), the unit is ready.
3. Open the unit and pour about 1 cup of batter onto the lower cooking surface. Spread the batter toward the edges using a rubber spatula for even waffles.
4. Carefully close the top. Keep hands away from the unit as steam may escape when baking begins. The signal light will come back on and may cycle on and off during baking. Cooking time is 3-5 minutes depending on the type of batter/ingredients you used. The hinge between the sections is designed to be loose. This allows the waffle to rise evenly and for steam to escape during baking. You may also notice steam moisture on the sides or near the handle. This is normal. Avoid opening the unit during baking cycle as it may cause the waffle to stick or bake poorly.
5. When waffles are done, the signal light will go out. Open the top and remove the waffle using a rubber or wooden spatula. Be careful not to scratch the non-stick finish. You may want to have a plate nearby when removing waffles in case they separate as this unit is designed to semi-cut waffles into 4 sections. If sticking occurs, lightly re-oil the cooking surfaces. You can make additional batches right away — no need to let the unit cool down. Keep the lid closed between cooking batches to preserve heat.
6. When all waffles are baked, turn the control knob to OFF, unplug the cord, open the unit, and allow it to cool.

GRILLING

This versatile unit is designed for open grilling to prepare griddle-style foods such as pancakes, eggs, or bacon strips, or closed grilling for hamburgers, hot dogs, or sandwiches such as grilled cheese. See the charts for preparation.

1. Be sure the cooking grids are securely attached with the flat grill sides showing. Close the unit and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet.
2. Depending on the kind of food you’re grilling (such as bacon or chops), you may want to place a small can or container under the grease spouts at the corners to catch grease or drippings from the built-in grease channel.
3. For Closed Grilling: turn the control knob to high and preheat the unit closed for 8-10 minutes until the signal light goes out. Use the charts to help you determine the best setting, depending on the food. Open the unit, place the food on the lower Grid, and close the grill.
4. For Open Grilling: close the grill and turn the control knob to high to preheat for 8-10 minutes until the signal l goes out. Use the charts to help you determine food amounts and times. Open the grill and pull straight up on the top handle to release the top grid. Turn and slowly lower the top grid down so that it forms a flat griddle-like cooking surface across from the bottom grid (B). If cooking on only one side, place the food on the bottom grid. Watch and turn food as needed. To keep food warm while serving, turn the control knob to LOW.
   
5. When finished grilling, turn the control knob to OFF, unplug the cord, open the unit, and allow it to cool.

TIPS

1. To avoid damaging the non-stick surfaces, do not use sharp utensils or cut food on theGrid surfaces. Use rubber or wood utensils.
2. Baked waffles freeze well. Cook all the batter. Cool the waffles and place paper towelsbetween them. Wrap waffles in plastic wrap or freezer bags, and freeze.
3. To keep foods from sticking, you may want to re-oil cooking surfaces before each useor use a cooking spray.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

CLEANING

1. Unplug and allow the unit to COOL completely before cleaning. DO NOT IMMERSETHE UNIT nor run water directly onto the cooking surfaces.
2. Unclip the Grids and wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. DONOT PLACE THEM IN A DISHWASHER. Do not use steel wool pads or other abrasive cleaners on the cooking surfaces as they may damage the non-stick coating. To remove cooked-on food, use a plastic bristle brush or nylon mesh pad. Be sure to clean the handles after each use.
3. Clean the outside surfaces by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly witha soft cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Never spray or apply cleaners directly to the unit; instead, apply the cleaner to a cloth and rub on. Rubbing a soft dry cloth or paper towel over the chrome surface after cleaning will restore the shine. Cleaning the outside surfaces after each use will prevent grease from burning onto the chrome and discoloring it.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

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.

ELECTRIC CORD

The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated no less than 10 amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated no less than 6 amperes.) When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
