FIRST USE AND DAILY OPERATION ____________

• We recommend cleaning the cooking plates before the first use with a little hot water and a sponge. Dry thoroughly.
• A new appliance may smoke slightly when used for the first time. To reduce the chance of smoking, heat the appliance for 10 minutes and then let cool for approximately half an hour.

BEFORE OPERATING APPLIANCE ______________

Please read the following instructions and keep them on hand for later reference.

• Always unwind the cord completely before use.
• Insert the cord plug into a 10/16 A outlet with earthing contact.
• It is recommended to connect the appliance to a system with a residual differential current (RDC) appliance with a differential operating current limit not exceeding 30 mA.
• If you need to use an extension cord, always use a model equipped with an earthing contact and wires with a section of at least 0.75 mm².
• Take all necessary precautions to prevent risk of tripping on the main or extension cord. Daily Operation
• Unroll the cord completely.
• Plug the appliance in.
• The green light comes on and the ready signal sounds to indicate when the ideal cooking temperature has been reached. You may then grease the plates and begin cooking (see Cooking Tips).

After Use To turn off the appliance, unplug the cord. COOKING TIPS ___________________________________ Changing Plates

• Unplug the appliance.
• Allow it to cool completely.
• Press the plate eject buttons immediately next to the plates.
• Remove the plates and insert new plates.

1. Waffles

IMPORTANT: NEVER GREASE THE APPLIANCE BEFORE PRE-HEATING BUT INSTEAD JUST BEFORE POURING IN THE BATTER.

• Heat the appliance until the green light comes on and the ready signal sounds.
• Although plates in the appliance have non-stick coating, we recommend greasing them lightly.
• Open the appliance and grease both plates using a silicone brush, paper towel or piece of cotton. (If using a brush, dip it into a small cup of cooking oil to cover it well.) Grease again only lightly before cooking the next waffles. After that, grease again only if the waffles start to stick on opening the lid. Use the control panel for precise control over browning of your waffles.
• Use the dial to adjust the waffle iron temperature and control browning precisely. Adjust the selection control to modify cooking time: - Faster cooking for softer waffles (seared to keep them soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside) - Slower cooking for extra-crispy waffles (heated longer to remove all moisture from the inside and make them crispy through and through).
• Pour the batter onto only one plate taking care to cover all squares completely. Note that it is much easier to use a jug with spout for this instead of a ladle. MAINTENANCE __________________________________ IMPORTANT:
• ALWAYS UNPLUG APPLIANCE AND ALLOW TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING.
• NEVER SUBMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER.
• NEVER USE OVEN CLEANERS OR OTHER STRIPPING PRODUCTS. Lid and base: clean with a damp sponge and, if necessary, mild detergent. Non-stick cooking plates: Generally soak for a few minutes, clean using a soft sponge and mild detergent and then rinse with warm water. Dry the plates thoroughly before placing them back into the appliance.

• Close the lid, wait 3 to 4 seconds and then rotate the head.
• After 2 more minutes, rotate the head back to its starting position. IMPORTANT: The rotation process is important for making the best waffles. If you do not do this, your waffles will look less appetizing (squares on top tray not filled in completely, light spots on waffle making the surface irregular). Even with rotation, this may happen also if you do not use enough batter. However, be careful as the appliance may release steam during turning. We recommend using a potholder or mitt when rotating.
• The green light will come on and the appliance will emit four short tones when it is time to open the lid. IMPORTANT: Cooking waffles is a subtle art in which the slightest change in ingredient proportions in the dough can affect appearance and flavour significantly. The timing of the green ready light was calculated based on a standard waffle dough recipe and the opinions of a representative consumer panel. Differences in timing due to your own particular preferences are not to be considered a defect of the appliance.
• Remove the waffles by piercing each one with a sharp-tipped knife and lifting away gently from the cooking plate.

• Waffles sticking to moulds: plates greased incorrectly or plates too hot for first waffles or too much sugar or not enough fat in the batter.

1.2 What to do in the event of problems

• Unplug the appliance.
• Allow to cool, remove the plates and soak for 5 minutes, brush the plates with a nylon or other plastic dish brush. Dry the plates thoroughly, insert them again, plug the appliance back in and follow the cooking instructions carefully from the start.
• Apply grease repeatedly if cooking many waffles. We guarantee beautiful waffles if you follow the provided instructions closely.

2. Mini-waffles, Bricelets and Dry Waffles

• We recommend starting with positions 2.5 and 'moelleuses' ('soft').
• Heat the appliance until the green light comes on.
• Grease the plates just before pouring the batter.
• Spread about a tablespoon (or four smaller spoonfuls if four moulds) of thick batter on the lower plate.
• Close the lid and squeeze the handles for a few moments to help distribute the batter evenly. Close the locking mechanism securely. Note: This mechanism may be left attached to the appliance. Position it to the left or right depending on whether you are right or left-handed.

1.1 Troubleshooting

• Waffle top and bottom coming apart: removing too quickly from mould.
• Waffles breaking apart: batter too watery or too dry (not enough fat).
• Waffles burning: cooking too long or forgetting about waffles!
• Waffles burnt on one side, uncooked on the other: filled improperly or batter too watery or appliance not rotated.

3. Toasted Sandwiches

Toasted sandwiches are quick and easy to make. Where possible, prepare all ingredients before heating the appliance.

• Position 2.5 is recommended.
• Heat the appliance until the green light comes on.
• The two outside faces of the sandwich coming into contact with the plates should be lightly buttered.
• Place two sandwiches in the appliance.
• Close the lid slowly and gently. Close the locking mechanism securely. Note: This mechanism may be left attached to the appliance. Position it to the left or right depending on whether you are right or left-handed.
• When the green light comes on and the ready signal sounds, you may remove the toasted sandwich.

• Do not turn over the iron as for waffles.
• The green indicator light will go out after about 10 seconds.
• When the green light comes on again, you may open the iron. Keep in mind that the timing of the green light was configured for cooking waffles. Ideal cooking time may vary depending on the recipe. In this case, you may check before the green light comes on to see whether cooking is complete by opening the lid; if your mini-waffles, etc., are ready, then remove them from the appliance and continue the cooking cycle ignoring the green light.
• If your mini-waffles appear to be stuck to both plates, do not open the lid any further; if you hold it in its current position for a few moments, the mini-waffles should come away from the top plate under their own weight. If they do not, insert a spatula and carefully tease the mini-waffles away from the plate.
• The mini-waffles may appear soft, but they become firm very quickly. If you want to roll them up, you may do so using a dowel stick directly on the cooking plate. To roll up the miniwaffles, place the dowel on a mini-waffle, lift up one edge of the waffle, roll it up quickly and then remove the dowel.
• You may also roll them up into cones to eat as they are, filled with a frozen dessert or folded into triangles, halves or quarters.
• Note that unlike waffles, mini-waffles or wafers are generally served entirely cold. They may also be stored for several days in a biscuit tin.

WARRANTY TERMS ______________________________ Your appliance is subject to a 2-year warranty. To extend your warranty by an additional year at no charge, simply register at the LAGRANGE Web site (www.lagrange.fr). The warranty covers parts and labour and applies to manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover damage due to misuse, failure to follow the user instructions, or dropping the product. The possibilities for recipes are endless. However, here is some advice on ingredients: - Using milk and cream alone yields soft waffles that do not hold their shape. These rich waffles should be served immediately after cooking. - Water and beer result in lighter, crunchier waffles that are both delicious and appealing. Fat adds flavour but is not absolutely indispensable. However, if you do not use fat in your batter, you need to grease the appliance before each waffle. - Yeast or baking powder is essential. Without it, your waffles will come out dry and bland and look burnt where they are thin and undercooked where they are thick. RULE OF THUMB: 10 g of yeast per pound of flour (yeast is typically sold in 10 g packets). Leave your batter to stand for at least 1 hour. Baker's yeast gives better-quality waffles. 20 - 30 g per pound of flour. Minimum standing time: 2 hours. IMPORTANT: Batter made with baker's yeast is very light and can expand to several times its original volume. Make sure to use a large enough container as a result. Good batter should be similar in consistency to heavy cream. You can always add a little flour if you think it is too watery. THIS WARRANTY APPLIES TO DOMESTIC USE; UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DOES IT COVER PROFESSIONAL USE. The vendor's legal warranty obligations in no way exclude the manufacturer's legal warranty obligations relating to faults or manufacturing defects in accordance with Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code. In the event of a breakdown or malfunction, contact your retailer. After this period, repairs will be carried out by LAGRANGE 's after-sales service.
