Getting Started

Before first use

• Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made sure your new waffle maker is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach.
• Read this manual to familiarize yourself with all the parts and operating principles of the waffle maker. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on the previous pages.
• Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply.
• Unfold the handle by rotating it to the left and open the unit by lifting the handle up.
• Wipe the baking surfaces with a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with a little warm water, to remove any dust from the manufacturing process. Dry thoroughly.

WARNING: Never immerse the waffle maker in water!

• Unwind the power cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. Do not use the appliance if the appliance or its cord have been damaged. In case of damage, contact our after sales support line for advice on examination, repair or return of the damaged product.
• Place the waffle maker on a flat, level surface, plug in the power cord and turn the power on. The red power indicator will illuminate, indicating that there is power to the unit. The green ready indicator will illuminate once it has reached the correct baking temperature.

NOTE: The unit may emit a slight smell or smoke when it is first heating up. This is due to the components being new and can be disregarded safely. It is no cause for concern. Leave the unit powered on for a few minutes until all odor and smoke has dissipated.

- Before the first use only, the non-stick cooking surfaces must be seasoned during the preheating time (until the green light comes on) to protect the non-stick surface. To season the surfaces, apply a thin coat of cooking oil, butter or margarine to the preheated cooking surfaces and rub it in with a paper towel. Leave the coating on the cooking plates.

- Your waffle maker is now ready for use.

CAUTION: HOT!

• Avoid touching hot surfaces.
• Take care when opening the lid as hot steam may escape, which may cause scalding.

Instructions

Making Waffles

1. Place the drip tray on the stand.
2. Lightly coat the waffle plates with cooking oil and close.
3. Align the small triangle on the temperature control with the desired setting, between MIN and MAX.
4. Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The red power indicator will illuminate, indicating the unit is heating. When the waffle maker has preheated, the green ready indicator will illuminate.
5. Open the plates and pour 3/4 to 1 cup of batter (enough to fill the bottom plate) into the center of the bottom plate. Batter should lightly coat the top of the grid. Close the plates. Wait five seconds, and then use the handle to rotate the plates fully to the right.

NOTE: Waiting for five seconds allows the batter to settle onto the bottom plate and rotating ensures that the batter distributes through both plates and cooks evenly.

1. When the green ready indicator illuminates, the waffle is ready. Rotate the plates completely left and open them. If the waffle is cooked to your liking, use a utensil to remove it and close the plates. If not, close the plates and rotate them right again to cook the waffle longer.

2. When finished using, unplug from the electrical outlet. Clean as directed in the "Care and Cleaning" section.

Useful Hints for Use

• For a hearty, healthier waffle, use whole grain flour in place of white flour.
• Stir or sift flour before measuring it, as it settles when it sits. Use the back of a knife to level off the flour in a measuring cup; don't pack it down.
• When serving several waffles at a time, keep cooked waffles crisp by placing them on a baking pan in a 200°F (93°C) heated oven. Another way to maintain crispiness (without the use of an oven) is to place the waffles on a wire rack instead of on a flat surface.
• For light and fluffy waffles, don't over-mix the batter. Some small lumps in the batter are fine. Waffles made from smooth batters may be tough.
• Refrigerated batter kept in a tightly-sealed container will remain fresh for one or two days. It will also thicken, so you may have to add some milk or water and remix the batter before cooking. Cold batter may also require additional cooking time to reach the desired brownness.
• Waffle recipes that include butter, oil, or eggs will produce crispier waffles that brown more easily than those made from batters without these ingredients.
• When recipes call for fresh buttermilk, buttermilk powder is a good substitute. Use the powder as instructed on the package.
• Close the plates immediately after removing a cooked waffle to maintain the proper baking temperature for additional waffles.
  • We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.

Other Useful Information

Care and cleaning

• After use, unplug the waffle maker from the power outlet before cleaning. Grip the plug, do not pull on the cord.
• Let the appliance cool down. While it is still warm, but safe to touch, wipe any batter off the cooking surfaces with paper towel or with a soft cloth or brush, if required.
• Remove any remaining cooked batter. If some is difficult to remove, add a small amount of cooking oil to it, let it stand for about five minutes, and then remove it.

CAUTION: Never use sharp objects, metal utensils or hard brushes for scraping off baked on batter, as you may damage the non-stick coated surface in the process. Only use a soft cloth, sponge or brush.

WARNING: Never submerge the appliance in water for cleaning.

• If necessary, wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a slightly damp cloth, but make sure the cloth is not too wet to leave water residues. After wiping down the appliance with the damp cloth, use a dry cloth or paper towel to dry it thoroughly.
• Hand wash the drip tray with soap and water and dry. Do not place it in a dishwasher.

Storing

• Fold the handle for storage. When the waffle plates are closed and the top waffle plate is on top, rotate the handle to the right.
• For storage, make sure the unit is clean and dry. When storing the product, loosely coil the cord. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance. Store in a cool, dry location.

Responsible disposal

- At the end of its working life, do not throw this appliance out with your household trash. Electrical and electronic products contain substances that can have a detrimental effect on the environment and human health if disposed of inappropriately. Observe any local regulations regarding the disposal of electrical consumer goods and dispose of it appropriately for recycling.
