1. Use the appliance only indoors.

2. Unroll the lead cable completely before use. Make sure that the lead cable does not hang over the edge of the worktop, since this can cause accidents, for example if small children pull on the cable.

3. Never wrap the lead cable around the appliance, but around the cable storage on the bottom of the base.
4. Always disconnect the lead cable from the wall socket pulling on the plug, never on the cable.
5. Make sure that the lead cable does not touch the hot appliance.

6. Do not use the appliance near flammable liquids. Fire hazard!

7. The appliance becomes hot during operation. Please use the handles or pot holders when moving the appliance.

8. Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is still hot. Risk of burns!
9. Open the lid completely when placing the dough onto the waffle plates or removing the waffles. Otherwise the lid may fall down. Risk of burns and injury!
10. For safety reasons never cover the appliance or the waffle plates with paper, plastic film or other foreign material. Otherwise the risk of fire hazard exists!
11. Never touch the waffle plates during operation or shortly afterwards with any part of the body or heat sensitive objects.

The manufacturer will not be liable in the event of incorrect assembly, improper or incorrect use or if repairs are carried out by unauthorized third parties.

FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging materials and any transport safeguards. Keep packaging materials away from children – danger of suffocation!

2. Before first use, we recommend cleaning the non-stick waffle plates with a damp cloth.

3. Close the appliance and connect the plug to a wall socket (220–240 V\~, 50 Hz). The red control lamp lights up and indicates that the heating is operational.

4. Turn the temperature control to the intermediate position to start to preheat. When the appliance has reached the preset temperature, the green control lamp lights up.
5. Heat the appliance up for a couple of minutes without dough, in order to eliminate possible manufacturing residues. Make sure the room is well ventilated during this process. After the initial heating process the appliance might show signs of wear, which do not affect its features and do not constitute a reason for rejection.
6. Before first use, slightly grease both waffle plates with heat resistant grease like margarine, for example, using a pastry brush (as the waffle plates are non-stick coated, greasing is only necessary before the very first use).
7. The appliance may generate a slight smell when first using it, which is absolutely normal.
8. The first waffle should not be used and should be thrown away.

PREPARING WAFFLES

1. Place the dough in the middle of the lower waffle plate using a ladle. The dough will be spread evenly over the waffle plates by closing the lid of the appliance. Please make sure you use the right quantity of dough. If the quantity of dough is insufficient, the upper part of the appliance does not close properly and the upper side of the waffles will not be as brown as the lower side. If it is too much, the dough will overflow and soil the appliance and the worktop.
2. Close the appliance immediately after placing the dough, so that the waffle will brown evenly on both sides.
3. A few seconds after placing the dough, the green control lamp turns off. The appliance will be heated up again and the baking process starts.
4. The temperature control is adjustable: with a lower level adjustment, the waffles will be light brown and dark brown with a higher level adjustment. Any other browning grade desired is continuously adjustable between highest and lowest adjustment.
5. Note concerning the baking signal lights: When both lights are illuminated, this means that the temperature has again been reached, however it does

not mean that the waffle is done. The bake time of the waffle depends on the dough used and your personal taste. Consequently, before removing the waffle, please check whether it is done the way you want it.

1. When the baking process is finished, the waffels are ready and can be removed.
2. If the waffles are not brown enough, adjust the control to a higher temperature. If the waffles are too brown, adjust the control to a lower temperature.
3. The appliance may be filled with dough immediately after removing the waffles. The green control lamp turns off again.
4. Repeat these steps until all dough has been used.
5. After finishing, disconnect the plug from the wall socket in order to switch the appliance off.

Attention: After disconnecting, the appliance is still very hot for some time!

CLEANING

Before cleaning, always turn off the appliance by switch to the „0“ position, and unplug it from the electrical outlet. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning it.

1. Never immerse the appliance into water or any other liquid.
2. It is best to clean the baking surface while it is still warm with a soft brush or with a damp cloth.
3. Never use pointed or hard objects. They would scratch the antistick coating.
4. The appliance must be completely dry before using it again.

RECIPES

If you want to reheat cooled waffles, use level 1. Do not place new batter onto the baking surface, because this temperature is not suitable for baking, only for warming up. Waffles taste best when they are still warm and fresh from the maker. If you want them to be crispy then you should not pile them on top of each other, but leave them to cool off a little on a cake grid. But waffles also taste very good when served cold. They remain fresh and crisp for some time when kept in a closed container (e.g. a cookie jar – do not forget to let them cool off first). However, you need to mix more grease into the dough. Another alternative is just to deep freeze the waffles. If the dough contains only small amounts of grease,

it is advisable to grease the anti-adhesive baking surfaces slightly with a greasing brush. The waffles can then be removed more easily from the waffle mould. If you use too much grease it can spill over while making the waffles and make the appliance dirty. Moreover, the waffles then also develop spots.

If the batter leads to undesired results, e. g. it remains clinging to the waffle mould or the waffles are not of an even brown color, you might need to change to a better quality flour. Therefore only use high quality flour. Another reason: old grease, which was not removed completely, might be burnt. In such a case, clean the baking surfaces carefully and then grease them with butter or bacon rind. If you add milk (especially full-cream milk) and sugar to the batter you get darker waffles. On the other hand, if you add coconut grease to the batter the waffles keep a lighter appearance. The batter ingredients such as butter, margarine, eggs, milk, etc. have the same temperature. For this reason, it is advisable to keep the ingredients at room temperature for some time before using them. This will keep the dough from clogging and developing spots during baking.

Here are a few basic recipes which have already been tried out in our laboratory kitchen. You can easily change these recipes to meet individual tastes by varying the different ingredients. If you want to make more or less waffles you can, of course, alter the amounts specified accordingly.

If you want to use stevia instead of sugar, simply replace the specification for sugar with a specification for stevia. (Caution: In this case the dough will be somewhat thinner). Honey or syrup is used like sugar.

In this case the sweetening effect is not as strong, however browning of the waffles is more pronounced.
