This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled or tripping over  
a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if the electrical rating is equal to or greater  
than the rating of the waffle baker/sandwich griddle. An extension cord rated at least 10  
amperes may be used. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not  
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.  
Do not use this unit near an oven, heater, or fireplace.  
If using an extension cord, it should be connected to the unit’s power cord before it is plugged  
into the outlet. In the case of a power failure, the same procedure should be followed.  
Never remove, insert, or replace grids unless unit is unplugged, and unit and grids are  
completely cool.  
WARNING: Always use a hot mitt to protect hand when  
opening a hot waffle baker/sandwich griddle. Escaping steam  
can burn.

Waffle Baker  
Recipes  
NOTE: The waffle baker grids make 2  
4-inch square waffles. Two waffles  
would be a typical serving.  
Waffle Baker Tips!  
• Homemade waffle batter may take  
longer to cook than packaged pancake  
and waffle mix. The packaged mix  
waffles are done in about 5 minutes.  
Made from scratch recipes take a few  
minutes more.  
• A thin waffle batter requires less batter  
to cover the grids than a thick batter.  
• For most recipes there is no need to  
grease the nonstick surface.
