MODELS 218, 287, 378518 AND 287MEX
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.

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 3⁄4 cup (Model 218) or 11⁄2 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.
