Frequently Asked Questions - WBS180 Carnival King

How do I clean the Carnival King WBS180 waffle maker?

Unplug the unit and let it cool completely. Wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water. For stubborn residue, brush gently with a soft nylon brush.

What type of waffle batter should I use?

You can use any standard waffle batter. For best results, use a batter with medium consistency. Avoid chunks that may clog the plates.

How long does it take to cook a waffle?

Typical cooking time is 3-5 minutes depending on batter and desired browning. The indicator light will signal when the waffle is ready.

Can I use the waffle maker without oil or spray?

The non-stick surface allows for low-fat cooking, but a light coating of cooking spray can help ensure even release and easier cleaning.

What does the indicator light mean?

There are two lights: Power (red) indicates the unit is on; Ready (green) indicates the plates have reached the set temperature.

Is the waffle maker safe to leave unattended?

It has automatic shut-off and overheat protection, but never leave it unattended while cooking. Always unplug after use.

What is the warranty period?

The Carnival King WBS180 comes with a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Proof of purchase is required.

Can I use the waffle maker for other foods like hash browns or paninis?

While designed for waffles, you can experiment with other foods such as hash browns, eggs, or panini sandwiches. Ensure the food does not overload the plates.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts (e.g., handles, thermostat) are available through Carnival King authorized dealers or online. Refer to the manual for part numbers.

Why is my waffle stuck to the plates?

Ensure the plates are properly seasoned and lightly oiled. If sticking persists, the non-stick coating may be damaged; discontinue use and contact support.

NOTE: When cold batter is added to a plate, there will be a drop in temperature difference between the set point and actual temperature. This is normal and will not affect baking. Under normal conditions, please allow 15–25 seconds for current temperature to recover to set point.

Operating Steps

1. Plug unit into the appropriate 120V outlet.
2. Turn the thermostatic knob to turn ON the unit and set the desired temperature. 365°F is the recommended temperature for waffles when using Carnival King batter. The green light indicates when the unit is ON, while the orange light indicates if the unit is heating. The orange light will turn OFF when temperature is reached.
3. While the unit is preheating, prepare the waffle mix according to the instructions on the product. For best performance, always use fresh batter and do not allow it to warm too much. Cook times varies based on the mix that is used.

NOTE: We recommend using Carnival King Belgian Waffle Mix (sold separately). Item #382BELGWAF.

NOTE: With grids open, allow 30–45 minutes for maker to preheat.

1. Open the grid and then pour the desired amount of batter evenly into the center of the lower grid. Be careful not to overfill the grid with batter. It's recommended to add 34 to 1 cup of batter.

2. Close the grid.

NOTE: For WBS180, fill the left or right side, then carefully close the grids. Then when closed, flip both grids 180^ simultaneously for even baking. Set timer. 2:45 minutes is recommended.

1. When the timer 'dings', remove the waffle using a pair of non-metallic tongs or waffle fork.

2. Repeat these steps to make multiple waffles.

NOTE: Keep the grids closed between baking periods for best performance. It is also recommended that you use a soft bristled high-heat brush to remove any waffle residue or crumbs from grids while baking to prevent burning.

Care & Cleaning

1. Turn the thermostatic knob to '0' and unplug the power cable and ensure that the product is cooled completely, then cleaning and collection.
2. Cleaning the cooking surface with a soft cloth or sponge dampened in a mild detergent. Make sure to rinse and wipe dry to ensure no detergent residue is left on the grids.
3. Please don't use wire brush, stiff brush or other corrosive liquids to clean it, avoiding damage to the surface coating.
4. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad.
5. Never clean the product with pressure washer or immersing in water.
6. Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning.
7. Remove the drip tray (if applicable) and clean with a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent. The drip tray is dishwasher safe.

Tips & Maintenance

1. Grids MUST be open when pre-heating (if closed the temperature inside is much higher than open, long periods of high temperature is not good for non-stick coating), 356-400°F is optimal operational temperature.
2. Please allow 30-45 minutes for pre-heating from a cold start.
3. If maker is not being used for periods of 20–30 minutes between use, we recommend either turning OFF the unit OR reducing the set temperature to 175^ F.
4. The unit is equipped with a temperature limiter, which will shut off the unit automatically if the temperature reaches above 554°F.
5. Use wooden or plastic utensils to take remove waffle, do not use any metal tool. If black flakes appear on waffles or the surface, it's recommended to stop using the unit and not serve customers. This indicates the non-stick coating is damaged. Please replace the grids before continuing use.
6. With non-stick grids, it's not necessary to use oil or non-stick spray directly on the grid. You can add oil inside your recipe or waffle mix. If you find that your batter is sticking, lightly coat the grid with some non-stick safe oil.
