There's nothing better in the morning than golden-brown Belgian waffles, covered with butter and maple syrup! This waffle maker makes a perfect waffle every time with it's easy to use design and "Ready-to-cook" indicator light. Ladle your favorite waffle mix into this Belgian waffle maker, rotate it 180° and in 3-5 minutes you will have a perfectly cooked waffle! Cleanup is a "snap" too. Push a button and the nonstick waffle plates come right off of the base. Simply wipe them with a soft cloth and warm soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. The base unit and handle are also easy to disassemble & reassemble for easy cleanup. NOTE: New heating appliances may give off light smoke or a slight burning odor the first time they are used. This is not a defect in the product or cause for alarm, as there are protective oils used during the manufacturing process that need to "burn" away.
