• TEMPERATURE CONTROL - twist knob *clockwise* to increase temperature
• TEMPERATURE SETTING - Recommended 3/4 of "Max" temperature
• RED LED INDICATOR: Power indicator (will be on as long as there is power)
• GREEN LED INDICATOR: Ready indicator (machine has reached set temperature): wait until green light turns ON before applying oil & batter
• PREHEATING: make sure device is pre-heated properly (about 4 minutes) before applying a layer of oil/butter to the pan, then add the waffle batter - this will reduce sticking of the batter onto the pan
• NONSTICK COATING: do not use metal utensils when cooking waffles or cleaning, do not use abrasive detergents or cloths to clean
• FLEXIBLE HINGE: the hinges of the lid are designed to be slightly loose to allow waffle expansion while cooking
