Close the appliance using the handle (fig 11).

Do not use the locking latch (b) while cooking (storage function only).

Baking takes 3 to 5 minutes on average. Baking cycles may vary according to the type and quantity of batter used.

Browning can be adjusted using the 5 browning positions. Try different thermostat positions to find the one that suits you best.

The green light switches off and back on to indicate that the temperature is at the required level. Please note that this does not indicate that the waffle is ready.

Remove the waffles using a non-metallic kitchen utensil so as not to damage the non-stick coating of the plates.

Your waffle maker has a single container (a) at the back to catch the excess batter. It has a maximum level (MAX) indicator, be careful not to exceed this. Do not reuse the surplus batter.

It is advisable to wait for the waffle maker to cool down before emptying the tray.

Always make sure you use oven gloves to empty the tray if the appliance is still hot (fig 12).

Make sure that the excess batter container is not obstructed to ensure that the batter collector tray works properly.
