Prior to first use

Clean the appliance as described in the section Cleaning and care (page 25).

Before using the appliance for the first time, heat it up once for approx. 10 minutes to remove any production residue (grease).

Turn the temperature regulator (1) – to the "Max" position (highest temperature).

Insert the plug into a mains socket. – The red power indicator (3) and the green temperature indicator lights (2 and 7) light up and the appliance begins heating. The operating temperature has been reached when the green temperature indicator lights extinguish.

NOTE!

Due to the materials used, a new appliance can produce light odour or smoke when it is used for the first time. This will diminish after a short period of time. Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Wait for 10 minutes. ◆

Turn the thermostat (1) to the "0" position.

Pull the plug out of the mains socket.

Allow the appliance to cool down completely.

Clean the appliance as described in the section Cleaning and care (page 25).

Preparations

Unlock the appliance

Set up the appliance vertically. ◆

Hold the handle of the (6) appliance tightly and pull the clip (10) out of the base (9) (see image A1).

Turn the appliance 90° so that the temperature regulator (1) is pointing upwards (see image A2).

Operation and use

General instructions

Use fresh ingredients only

■ The ingredients used should be at room temperature.
■ Before baking, allow the waffle mixture to rise for half an hour.
■ Do not use too much baking powder.
■ The waffle mixture should have a thick texture but still smoothly flow off the spoon.
■ To prevent the waffles from softening, do not lay the finished waffles on top of each other.
■ Waffles taste best when they are freshly prepared.
■ Only fill the lower hot plate with enough mixture so that it is just covered. Use a ladle for thin waffle mixtures and a tablespoon for thick waffle mixtures.
■ Work quickly to prevent the waffle mixture from burning onto the lower hotplate.

Making waffles

Prepare the waffle mixture.

Use a brush to oil the hotplates (8) each time before using – not before each waffle.

Fold the appliance together and place it so that the temperature regulator (1) is pointing upwards.

Set the temperature regulator (1) to the desired level (see section Regu-lating the temperature; page 19).

NOTE!

We recommend the maximum ▶ temperature for experienced cooks. A lower setting prolongs the baking time.

Insert the plug into a mains socket. The red power indicator (3) and the green temperature indicator lights (2 and 7) light up and the appliance begins the heating process. The operating temperature has been reached when the green temperature indicator lights extinguish.

NOTE!

When the lid is closed, the maximum temperature is reached in approx. 3 minutes.

Unfold the appliance (see image B1). Release the locking lever (11) for this purpose.

Fill the middle of the lower hotplate ◆ with the waffle mixture portion.

Fold the appliance together. Ensure that the locking lever (11) closes properly.

NOTE!

If too much waffle mixture is used, it can ooze out of the side of the appliance. This particularly applies to mixtures with raising agents. Use less mixture when filling the next time.

If you fill the appliance with too little mixture, the waffles will be smaller.

After approximately 15 seconds, turn the appliance 180^ (see image B2) so that the temperature indicator light on the underside is showing upwards.

After 3 to 5 minutes, turn the appli-◆ance back again and bake the waffles until they are finished. During baking, lift the lid (4) briefly to inspect the waffle.

NOTE!

Depending the consistency of the mixture and the selected temperature setting, the baking time can be approx. 4-8 minutes.

The first waffles may stick to the ▶ upper hotplate although it was oiled. This will stop happening after a few times.

◆Remove the finished baked waffle.

NOTE!

In order not to damage the coating of the hotplates, only use heat-resistant cutlery made of plastic or wood to remove the waffles.
