ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and
escaping steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to
prevent the risk of burns, fires or other damage to persons or
property.
CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat
for some time after turning off. Always use oven mitts when handling
hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not
place anything on top of the appliance while it is operating or while it
is hot.
◆ All users of this appliance must read and understand this Use and
Care Guide before operating or cleaning this appliance.
◆ The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC
electrical outlet only.
◆ If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately
unplug the cord. Do not use or attempt to repair the
malfunctioning appliance.
◆ Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
Polarized Plug (Model TWB4BEL)
The model TWB4BEL 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
in 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.
Grounded 3-Conductor Plug (Model TWB4BELCAN)
The Model TWB4BELCAN is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire
cord (3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet
made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should
fail to fit the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2.
Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance, and (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.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should
be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the
countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC
coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the
countertop or tabletop.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes
may occur or stains can appear.

Operating Instructions
Before first use
Conditioning Grids
Before using, wipe cooking surface with a damp cloth and dry.
The Grid Surface being used requires conditioning before each heating
that follows cleaning. To condition, lightly coat the Grid Surface with solid
vegetable shortening. Plug into any 120V ~ 60Hz outlet. The Red Power
Light will come on. When the Green Ready Light comes on, the unit is
preheated. The Grid Surface is ready to use.
To protect the premium quality non-stick surfaces, use only plastic, nylon
or wooden utensils. Carefully follow suggested cleaning procedures. After
time, if waffles show signs of sticking, carefully recondition your unit.
Using Your Belgian Waffle Baker
1. Always allow Waffle Baker to heat until the Green Ready Light
comes on, approximately 5 minutes. Initially, some smoking may
occur. This is normal for newly manufactured appliances and will
not occur after the first few uses. When preheated, the Green
Ready Light will come on.
2. Raise Lid and pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter onto the
center of each waffle section of the Grid Surface. Close the Lid;
do not latch. The Green Ready Light will stay on for a few
minutes and then go out. While cooking, the Red Power Light
will be on. The amount of batter required may vary with recipe
or brand of mix. Any waffle recipe or mix may be used.
3. When the waffle is done, the Green Ready Light will come on
again. Gently lift the Lid to check for brownness. If Lid shows
resistance to lifting, the waffle may not be quite done. Close Lid
and watch for steaming to stop before checking again.
4. Remove the waffle when browned. If a second batch is desired,
pour batter immediately and close Lid.
5. When finished baking unplug and allow to cool before cleaning.
