SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of  
personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a  
longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores  
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is  
required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be:  
(1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V and at least 13 A, 1625 W,  
(2) if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should  
be a grounding 3-wire cord, and (3) the cord must be arranged so that  
is will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled  
on by children or tripped over accidentally.  
POLARIZED PLUG: Some models have a 2-prong polarized plug, (one  
blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of  
electrical shock, this plug is intented to fit in 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 defeat this  
safety feature.  
GROUNDED-TYPE PLUG: Some models have a 3-prong grounded-  
type 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 a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this  
safety feature.  
ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other  
appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be  
operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.  
This product is for household use only.

recondition your unit.  
Using your waffle baker  
1. Before using, wipe cooking surface with a damp cloth and dry.  
Lightly coat grids with vegetable shortening and close lid.  
2. Plug into a 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. The yellow power on light will  
come on. Allow to preheat 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 light will come on.  
3. Raise lid and pour approximately 34 cup (Model 218) or 112 cups  
(Model 287) of batter on lower grid using an “X” pattern. Close the  
lid; do not latch. The green ready light will stay on for a few  
minutes and then go out. The amount of batter required may vary  
with recipe or brand of mix. Any waffle recipe or mix may be used.  
While cooking, the yellow or red power on light will be on and the  
green ready light will go off.  
4. 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 top and watch for  
steaming to stop before checking again.

5. Remove waffle when browned. If a second waffle is desired, pour  
batter immediately and close lid.  
6. When finished baking, unplug and allow to cool before cleaning.
