presence of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in
atmospheric conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air).
Items containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and
never be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or
explosion.
12. The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of, objects
which can be damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics. DO NOT locate
multiple portable socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the
appliance. When using the appliance, the surface that the appliance is placed
upon as well the surface immediately above (e.g. a wooden cabinet above the
appliance), may become very hot. If the appliance is operated on wooden
furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.
13. Place the appliance at a proper distance from the objects or surrounding walls
making sure that its functioning will not cause accidental damages. There should
be at least 10 cm of free space from the back, left & right sides, and the top of
the appliance. Never put things on top of the appliance.
14. Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions
where it can be damaged easily. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. The

18. During the period of operation, high temperature steam may escape from the
container. To avoid scalding:
DO NOT
• fill the Heating Plate with water, oil, butter or any substance other than batter;
• overfill batter to avoid overflow of hot liquids;
• fill the Heating Plate with hot liquids (including hot batter);
• use the appliance to heat oil or melt butter;
• unlock the two Heating Plates while heating & ensure that the plates are
tightly closed during heating;
• add powdered pre-mixes directly on the Heating Plate without whisking it first
with other liquids like milk, or adding it with its packaging (plastic wrapper,
paper, foil, metal can, etc.) still attached without first removing the packaging;
• place any container inside the appliance;
• move the appliance whilst the appliance is in operation. Wait until cooking
has completed, switch the wall switch off, unplug the power cable from the
wall socket, unlock the Heating Plates and open the plates to let out any
steam out before moving the appliance carefully;
• touch any part of the appliance except the Handles, during operation and
just after switching the appliance off. Do note that the waffles and
accompanying liquids & gases inside the appliance, and the appliance itself
would still be very hot during heating, and for some time after the appliance
had been switched off;
• direct steam at any person or animal & one’s hands and face should be
angled away from the Heating Plates at all times.
19. DO NOT soak the appliance in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let

How to use s
1. Place and use the appliance on a dry, horizontal, stable and heat-resistant
surface.
2. Plug the power cable into the wall socket and switch it ON. The Red Indicator
Light will illuminate as the Heating Plate is being heated to the correct
temperature. This may take a few minutes.
3. Prepare the raw materials you need for making waffles. A suggestion is provided.
You may also choose to purchase commercial waffle pre-mixes.
I
In a large bowl, whisk together flour (2 cups all-purpose flour), salt (1
teaspoon), baking powder (4 teaspoons) and sugar (2 tablespoons
white sugar); set aside.
II
In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs. Stir in the milk (1 ½ cups warm
milk), butter (⅓ cup butter, melted) and vanilla (1 teaspoon vanilla
extract). Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; whisk gently
until blended (don’t overmix).
4. When the Green Indicator Light illuminates, if you desire your waffles to be extra
buttery, you can apply some butter to the Heating Plate before cooking your
waffles. Do this carefully using only a soft basting brush. Never attempt to apply
butter using metal utensils. Alternatively, you can add butter after the waffle is
cooked and on your plate.
5. Ladle the batter onto the Heating Plate. DO NOT overfill! Gently press the Upper
Heating Plate onto the Lower Heating Plate and lock the 2 sides together. Heat
waffles until golden and crisp. This should take about 4 – 6 minutes, depending
on the ingredients used.
6. Once the waffles are ready, switch the wall switch off and unplug the power
cable from the wall socket.
7. Remove the waffles using a plastic, rubber, silicone or wooden spatula from the
Heating Plate. DO NOT use metallic utensils, which can scrape the non-stick
coating off the Heating Plate.
8. As two waffles are usually never enough, repeat steps 2 – 7 to cook additional
waffles.
How to clean s
1. Switch the wall switch off and unplug the power cable from the wall socket. Allow
sufficient time for the appliance to cool.
2. Wipe the exterior of the appliance using a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Remove
stubborn spots with a cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent.
3. Wash the Heating Plates with water & detergent with a non-abrasive sponge. If
there is batter left on the plates, you can add a little vegetable oil to soften it,
leaving for about 5 minutes before removing it. DO NOT use metal scouring
pads. Dry the Heating Plates thoroughly. And leave to air-dry before closing the
Heating Plates and locking them.
4. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
