Frequently Asked Questions - WD700412 KRUPS

How to use the waffle maker for the first time?

Before first use, remove all packaging and stickers. Open the appliance, ensure the thermostat is set to minimum position 1, then plug it in. The red indicator light turns on. Preheat for 5 to 7 minutes by turning the thermostat to the desired cooking setting. Wait for the green light to come on before adding batter.

How much batter to put in the waffle maker?

Pour the batter using the supplied ladle into each well. The amount should not exceed the separation bar between the wells. For the traditional recipe, fill each well up to the line 5 mm from the edge.

Should the latches be locked during cooking?

No, do not lock the latches during cooking. They are intended for storage or transport. During cooking, the upper shell may rise slightly to allow the batter to spread normally.

How to know if the waffle maker is ready?

The green light comes on when the desired cooking temperature is reached. During use, the light will turn off and on again to indicate that the temperature is maintained, but this does not mean the waffle is cooked.

Why does my waffle maker emit smoke or odor during first use?

This is normal. During first use, there may be a slight release of odor or smoke due to heating of new components. Preheat the appliance empty for 5 to 7 minutes before the first cooking.

Tips for better cooking results

Each time the waffle maker is used, wipe a small amount of cooking oil onto the waffle plates, then wipe with a soft cloth.
Pour the batter with the ladle - E into each waffle plate.
The amount of batter should not go past the separation line between the two cooking plates - 8.
■ Increase or reduce the waffle colour to suit your taste, using the 8-position browning indicator.
- The green light is an indicator that the waffle maker is ready to use.
The green light goes out and lights up again regularly during the cooking process, to show that the selected temperature is maintained. Caution: this does not indicate that the waffle is cooked.
Depending on the type of batter used, cooking cycle times will vary.
- Some steam will be produced during cooking cycles, this is normal and allows for a fuller waffle. During the cooking cycle, the top of the waffle maker will drift upward, allowing the waffle batter to fully expand into the plate cavities. Do not impede this movement. Never lock the waffle maker when in use.
Cooking time depends on the kind and the quantity of batter used in the waffle maker. Cooking time typically takes 3 to 5 minutes.
