How do I set up my Breville Waffle Maker for the first time?

Before first use, remove and safely discard all packing material, promotional labels, and tape from the waffle maker. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp sponge or cloth and dry thoroughly. Place the waffle maker on a flat, dry surface with a minimum distance of 4" (10cm) of space on all sides. Unwind the power cord completely and insert the power plug into a grounded 110/120V power outlet.
