SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE

• Before using the appliance, make sure that the appliance, the plug and the power cable are in good technical order and whether all parts of the package were removed.
• Before the first use, all parts of the appliance that are in contact with food must be thoroughly washed (see: Cleaning and maintenance).
• Specific smell may be sensed during the first use, which results from the production process. It is a normal process and it will go away after a time. Ensure the proper ventilation in the room, e.g. opening the window.
• The first use of the appliance should be without products.

USE

• Position the device on a level, stable and high-temperature resistant surface.
• Wipe the heating plates (3) with a damp cloth.
• Oil the plates (3) slightly with butter, margarine or oil to make them ready for making waffles.
• Close the lid (2) and secure the handle with interlock (5).
• Plug in the appliance - operation of the appliance is signalled by the light (1A)
  • Control light (1B) signals when the waffle maker is heated and ready for operation.
• Open the lid (3) and pour the batter so that it does not pour out of the heating plate (2).

Warning.

When placing the dough on the bottom heating plate make sure the baking mould is completely filled.

During baking process the excess dough may flow out of the appliance.

• lose the lid gently and secure the handle with interlock (5).
• Bake waffles for 2-6 minutes. The baking time is dependant on:

- the type of cake,

- expected baking level of waffles and the number of waffles in the waffle maker.

• It can happen that, during the baking process, the operating lamp (1B) goes out briefly and then lights up again. This indicates that the adjusted temperature had fallen, causing the appliance to automatically heat itself back up to the programmed temperature.
• Open the waffle iron to check if the waffles are sufficiently baked resp. brown. If the waffles are not yet ready, re-close the waffle iron and let them bake for a little longer.

Warning.

Steam escapes from the sides of the appliance during cooking - risk of burns.

• Before preparation of the next waffles, always close the cover in order to maintain required temperature.
• After baking the last waffle, remove the plug from the mains power socket and allow the appliance to cool down, with the lid up.

Note:

When removing the waffles, be sure not to accidentally damage the coating of the baking surfaces. To avoid this, use only wooden or heat-resistant plastic implements.

USEFUL TIPS

• Mix all ingredients together uniformly, this will ensure a constant level of browning.
• Never lay crisply baked waffles on top of each other. This causes them to become soft quickly. To keep them crispy, lay them next to each other on a kitchen grill.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Do not immerse any part of the appliance in water or other liquids.
• First, rub the cooking plates with paper towels in order to remove grease.
