OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
IMPORTANT: Before using for the first time, operate the
appliance without batter in order to burn off residues
on the Cooking Plates.
CAUTION: To avoid burns, caution should be taken when handling
the Waffle Maker.
1. Carefully unpack Waffle Maker.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Never immerse
in water.
3. To burn off residues on the Cooking Plates, it will be necessary to
operate the unit for a few minutes before initial use. Do not add
batter or oil during this time.
4. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat countertop surface,
where it can be easily plugged into an electrical outlet. Plug
appliance into 120V AC electrical outlet.
5. You will notice smoke and a slight odor while residues burn off.
6. Allow the Waffle Maker to operate until smoke and odor dissipate;
then unplug Waffle Maker and allow it to cool. Be careful, the
Cooking Plates will be hot!
NOTE: Some odor may still be detected during initial use; this is
normal and should disappear after one or two uses.
HOW TO USE YOUR WAFFLE MAKER
1. Be sure the Cooking Plates are clean and free from dust.
If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth.
2. When using the Waffle Maker for the first time, brush the Cooking
Plates with cooking oil.
NOTE: The Waffle Maker is coated with a non-stick surface. Do not
use spray-on oils, grease or shortening, as they can cause build-up
on the Cooking Plates. Use cooking oil instead.
3. Close the Lid.
4. Plug appliance into a suitable 120V AC electrical outlet; the Power
ON Light and the Cook Light will illuminate, indicating the unit
has begun heating.
5. Slide the Browning Control to set desired browning: for LIGHT,
MEDIUM or DARK waffles.
6. While preparing batter, allow appliance to pre-heat (about
5 minutes). The Cook Light will go off when unit has reached the
proper temperature.
7. Open Waffle Maker and carefully pour batter evenly to cover the
Cooking Plates. Be careful not to pour too much batter, as excess
batter will seep out of Cooking Plates.

operating instructions (Continued)
8. Carefully close the Waffle Maker. Do not force shut. Steam
will be released between the Cooking Plates. Caution
should be taken to prevent hands from coming into contact
with the steam.
9. Your FARBERWARE® FWM85B has a
Browning Control. When preparing a
recipe for the first time, it may become
necessary to experiment with the
Browning Control. Begin by setting the
Control to halfway between LIGHT
and DARK. After the first waffle, move
the Browning Control up or back to
the desired brownness color setting.
Browning may differ depending on the
batter ingredients. Batters using sugar
tend to brown quicker.
10. Cooking time should take approximately 3-5 minutes. Exact
cooking time will be a matter of your taste and will depend on
type of batter and ingredients used. The Cook Light turns on and
off as the unit cycles to maintain ideal heating temperatures; this
prevents overheating. Avoid opening your Waffle Maker before
cooking is completed, as this may cause the waffle to stick or
bake poorly.
11. When the waffles are cooked, remove them by using a plastic or
wooden spatula. Do not use metal tongs or knives, as these may
damage the non stick coating.
12. Keep the Waffle Maker closed to preserve the heat until ready for
the next batch of waffles.
13. After use, slide Browning Control to LIGHT and then immediately
unplug from the electrical outlet.
14. If waffles are not to be consumed immediately, place the waffles
on a paper napkin to absorb condensation. To keep hot, place on a
rack in an ovenproof dish and warm in the oven at about 200°-
250°F. Waffles will keep for about 20 minutes and then begin to
dry out.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing
requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed
by a qualified appliance repair technician.
TO CLEAN
CAUTION: Do not immerse the Waffle Maker, cord, or plug in
water or any other liquid.
Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning. Do not use steel wool,
scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as this will damage the finish.
INSIDE CLEANING
Wipe Cooking Plates with absorbent paper toweling or a soft cloth.
Although the Cooking Plates are coated with a non-stick coating,
some batter or ingredients may still adhere to the Waffle Maker.
To remove, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked-on food.
Allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. This should soften the food and
make it easy to remove with absorbent paper toweling or a soft
cloth. If the preceding measure fails to remove the food residue,
we suggest wiping the Cooking Plates with a slightly dampened
cloth and a little non-abrasive detergent.
OUTSIDE CLEANING
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
TO STORE
Unplug unit and allow to cool.
Store in its box or in a clean, dry place.
Never store Waffle Maker while it is hot or still plugged in.
Use the Cord Storage Wrap located on the bottom of the
Waffle Maker.
Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any
stress on cord where it enters unit, as this could cause cord to fray
and break.
The Waffle Maker can be placed in a vertical position (handles
pointed up) for neat and compact storage.

HELPFUL HINTS
• Sift all dry ingredients.
• Egg yolks should be separated from egg whites before mixing.
• Beating egg whites separately, and then folding into the batter, will
create lighter and crispier waffles.
• Egg whites should be beaten until they form stiff peaks. Stir
1/4 of beaten egg whites into batter to lighten it, then gently fold the
rest of the egg whites into the batter (there should be white streaks
in the batter). Do not over-mix batter when adding egg whites.
• It is not necessary to beat egg yolks and milk separately; just
add to the combined flour mixture, and use a whisk or hand
mixer to blend.
• Do not open the Waffle Maker during the first minute of baking, or
waffles will separate. Completely bake waffles before removing
them from the unit.
• When waffles are done, the Lid should lift open easily. Lift the Lid
gently. If Lid pulls, wait another minute and try lifting it open again.
• Adjust the Browning Control as you prepare your waffles.
Remember that different recipes may produce varying browning
results depending on the ingredients. It may become necessary to
turn the Browning Control down slightly when baking waffles
containing sugar.
• Waffles can be made ahead of time, then refrigerated or frozen.
When ready to eat, just heat waffles in oven or toaster. This is ideal
when serving waffles to several people at once.
FOR LOW-FAT, LOW-CHOLESTEROL WAFFLES
• All recipes work equally well with skim milk.
• Leave out egg yolks altogether. All leavening properties come from
the beaten egg whites.
• Use liquid vegetable oils, like canola, corn or sunflower, instead
of butter.
FOR HIGHER-FIBER WAFFLES
• Substitute 1/2-cup, or more, of whole wheat flour for white flour.
• Substitute 1/4-cup of wheat, or oat bran, for white flour.
FOR SUGARLESS WAFFLES
• Substitute 1 tablespoon of thawed all-natural white grape or apple
juice, from concentrate, for each teaspoon of sugar. If adding more
than 1 tablespoon of juice from concentrate, add a little less milk.
