Frequently Asked Questions - 039 261 LAGRANGE

How to use the waffle iron for the first time?

Before first use, after placing the plates, heat the appliance open for 10 minutes, then let it cool for about 30 minutes. This prevents possible smoke or odors.

How to clean the cooking plates?

After complete cooling and unplugging, remove the plates and let them soak in hot water with a little dish soap. Scrub with a dish brush, dry well before reassembling. Never use steel wool or abrasive powder. Do not put in the dishwasher.

Can I use other plates than those provided?

Yes, the appliance is multifunctional and accepts interchangeable plates sold separately by LAGRANGE: plates for waffle cookies (ref. 030 221), croque monsieur (ref. 030 421/422) and heart waffles (ref. 030 521).

How long does it take to cook waffles?

Cooking time varies by recipe and thickness. Gently open the appliance during cooking to check. Do not open too early (risk of breaking the waffles). The light turns on and off to regulate the thermostat; it does not indicate when the waffles are done.

Why does my waffle iron smoke when first used?

This is normal. A new appliance may emit some smoke or odor. To minimize this, heat the appliance open for 10 minutes before first use, then let cool.

Can children use the appliance?

This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above under adult supervision and if they have received safety instructions. Cleaning and maintenance should only be performed by children over 8 years under supervision. Keep the appliance and cord out of reach of children under 8.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

Do not use the appliance. The cord must only be replaced by LAGRANGE, its after-sales service, or an authorized qualified person. Use only a cord of type HO5VV-F 3G 0.75 mm².

What is the warranty period?

Your appliance is guaranteed for 2 years parts and labor. Register at www.lagrange.fr to get an additional free year. Aluminum plates without non-stick coating have a 10-year warranty (special conditions apply).

Can I wash the plates in the dishwasher?

No, never put the plates in the dishwasher. Wash them by hand with warm soapy water and a brush. Do not use steel wool or abrasive powder.

What to do if waffles stick to the plates?

Make sure to lightly grease the plates before each batch (except during preheating). Use a brush or paper towel. Non-stick plates require less grease. If the batter is too sweet, it may stick more.

ENVIRONMENT

Protection of the environment – DIRECTIVE 2002/96/CE

In order to protect our environment and our health, electrical units at the end of their working lives must be disposed of according to very specific rules requiring the involvement of everyone, both suppliers and users.

That is why your unit, as indicated by the symbol on its nameplate, must not be put into a public or private garbage can intended for household wastes.

At the time of its disposal, it is your responsibility to bring your unit to a public collection center designated for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. If you need information about centers for the collection and recycling of discarded units, please contact the local authorities in your region, the household waste collection services or the store where you bought your unit.

STARTING AND USE

FIRST USE

A new appliance may emit smoke or odors when used for the first time. To limit these inconveniences, once you have installed the cooking plates, allow the unit to heat up in the open position for 10 minutes and then let it cool for 30 minutes.

OPERATION

* Choose your plates from among the models available and position them in the appliance (see image).
* Plug in the appliance and allow it to preheat until the light turns off.
* Once the appliance is preheated, lightly grease the plates over their entire surface using a brush or paper towels (WARNING: Never grease during preheating).
* Pour the batter to fill all of the squares.
* Close the appliance and keep the handles firmly squeezed together for a few moments.
* Turn the unit over on its base for better distribution of the batter and more even cooking.

* Turn the machine over again after one minute to bring it back to its original position.
* To check whether the waffles are ready, carefully open the unit during the cooking and close it again if it is not sufficiently cooking. WARNING: Don't try to open the unit too soon (risk of cutting the waffles in half).
* Remove the waffles with a knife, inserting it horizontally into the thickness of the waffles.
* Grease again but more lightly for the 2^nd and 3^rd batches (you probably won't have to add more grease after that).

WARNING: during cooking, the fact that the indicator light is on or off does not mean that the waffles are ready but simply relates to the thermostat's regulation.

UPKEEP

* Warning: make sure that the appliance is unplugged and has cooled down completely before cleaning it.
* Never immerse the appliance in water and do not put it in the dishwasher.
* Wash the body of the appliance with a moist sponge.
* Important: never put the plates in the dishwasher.
* After cooling, remove the plates and let them soak in hot water. Add some dishwashing liquid if necessary. Scrub with a dishwashing brush.
* Dry the plates thoroughly before assembling the unit.

WARNING: do not use metallic sponges or scouring powder.

RECIPES

To begin, here is some advice on the ingredients to use, according to your preferences...

* For soft waffles, use milk and cream. These waffles must be eaten as soon as they are removed from the mould.
* For light, crunchy waffles use water and beer.
* Be they soft or crunchy, it is important to use yeast.

(Use 10g of yeast per 500g of flour – leave the batter to stand for 30 to 60 minutes).

Using baker's yeast gives better quality waffles but requires the batter to stand for around 2 hours.

WARNING: when standing, batter made with baker's yeast can expand to several times its initial volume... So make sure you use a big enough container!

WAFFLES

SWEET WAFFLES

(For 10 to 15 waffles)

WAFFLES LYONNAISE

500g of flour – 1 sachet of baking powder – 3/4 L of liquid (water, beer or milk, its your choice!) – a pinch of salt – 125g of butter – 30g of sugar – 2 sachets of vanilla sugar – vanilla essence, kirsch or rum – 3 or 4 eggs.

Melt the butter and allow to cool slightly. Pour the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the salt, sugar and eggs. Beat with a whisk.

In a bowl, dissolve the baking powder in the liquid. Pour this mixture into the mixing bowl together with the melted butter. Flavour according to taste. Beat until the batter is completely uniform. Leave to stand for 30 minutes.

Eat the waffles when still warm, sprinkled with icing sugar or with jam, honey, chestnut purée, chocolate, Chantilly cream, maple syrup, ice cream, fresh fruit, etc.

WAFFLES WITH CREME FRAICHE

500g of flour – 150g of butter – 10g of baking powder – 1/4 L of water – 1/4 L of crème fraîche – 4 eggs – a pinch of salt.

Pour the flour, salt and egg yokes into a mixing bowl. In a bowl, dissolve the baking powder in the liquid. Pour this mixture into the mixing bowl and beat with a whisk until you obtain a uniform batter. Add the melted butter, cream, and egg whites, having beaten them stiff.

Leave to stand for 1/2 an hour at room temperature. Eat the waffles when still warm, sprinkled with icing sugar.

SAVOURY

WAFFLES WITH HAM

500g of flour – 200g of finely chopped ham – a pinch of salt – 3 or 4 eggs – 1 sachet of baking powder – 125g of butter – 3/4 L of liquid (water, milk and, if you wish, a glass of dry white wine).

Pour the flour into a terrine dish. Add the salt and egg yokes. Beat with a whisk together with the water (having dissolved the baking powder in the water) and white wine. Add the melted butter. Beat once more. Add the finely chopped ham. Then fold in the egg whites, having beaten them stiff. Leave to stand for 1/2 and hour. Eat the waffles immediately after cooking.

WAFERS

(or bricelets or dry waffles)

The results are always better when using ordinary flour rather than cake flour.

BRICELETS DE DIVONNE

4 eggs – 200g of sugar – 250g of melted butter – the zest from 2 lemons – 250g of flour – a pinch of salt.

Beat the eggs, then add the sugar, melted butter, lemon zests, salt and sifted flour. The batter will be runny. Leave to stand for 24 hours in a cool place. Place a quantity of batter the size of a walnut on the plate.

TOASTED SANDWICHES

Always put a pat of butter at the exterior of each slice of bread.

TOASTED CHEESE CANAPES

Gruyere, Chester or any other type of cheese you can grate. Beat the following in a saucepan:

30g of butter - 30g of flour - 1/4 litre of milk - 2 egg yokes.

Mix and gradually add 50g of grated cheese. Add seasoning and spread the batter on slices of French bread or white loaf (1cm thick).

CROQUE-MONSIEUR

Garnish a slice of bread with grated gruyere. Place a slice of ham on top of the gruyere. Cover with more gruyere and place the second slice of bread on top.

CROQUE "COCOTTE"

Make a hollow in the first slice of bread with the back of a spoon, break an egg into it and add seasoning (salt and pepper). With the spoon, make a similar hollow in the other slice of bread and place it on top of the egg.

GUARANTEE TERMS

Guarantees for LAGRANGE household appliances.

Your unit is guaranteed for 2 years.

There is a 10-year* guarantee for the aluminum plates without a non-stick coating.

In order to receive an additional year of guarantee free of charge, register on the LAGRANGE web site (www.lagrange.fr). The guarantee includes parts and labor and covers manufacturing defects. The guarantee does not cover deterioration due to poor use or non-observance of the instructions for use or breakage due to falling.

THIS GUARANTEE APPLIES TO HOUSEHOLD USES. IT CANNOT APPLY TO PROFESSIONAL OR SEMI-PROFESSIONAL USES.

The legal guarantee due from the seller does not in any way exclude the legal guarantee due from the Manufacturer for manufacturing flaws or defects according to articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code. In the event of a breakdown or malfunction, contact your retailer. In the event of technical defects observed within one week of purchase, the units will be exchanged.

Beyond this period, they will be repaired by the LAGRANGE after-sale service.

To benefit from this guarantee, the user must present a copy of the invoice specifying the date of purchase of the unit.

*Special guarantee terms for plates that don't have a non-stick coating.

The cooking plates are guaranteed for 10 years.

This warranty covers all manufacturing defects and material failures, in particular all risks of deformation.

It does not cover:

* Damage caused by the use of oven cleaner, cleaning in a dishwasher or by any product not recommended for use on aluminium.
* Breakage caused by falls or impacts.
* Changes in the colour of the plates (indeed, it is normal for the plates to darken once they have been used several times, as they are made from aluminium. This has no effect on cooking).
* Batter sticking to the plates: this fault is never caused by the plates but by poor use (insufficient greasing or batter containing too much sugar).

Duration of availability of spare parts

In accordance with article L 111-2 of the consumer code, the availability of spare parts that we provide for a repairable product is 5 years as of its date of manufacturing.

However, this availability is only guaranteed in the country where the product was purchased.
