OPERATION

General Information

This appliance is designed to bake wafers.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove the appliance from the packaging material. Clean the appliance. See 'Cleaning and maintenance'. Place the appliance on a level, stable surface. Insert the plug into the mains power socket. The red status lamp will glow to indicate that the appliance is switched on. Set the thermostat to the highest setting (to the right) and allow the appliance to heat up for five minutes. This will burn away any dust and possible manufacturing residues. The appliance may emit a little smoke while heating up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the appliance. Make sure the area is well-ventilated. The status lamp goes out when the appliance is ready for use (once the desired temperature has been reached). Remove the plug

from the plug socket. Clean the appliance when it has cooled down. See 'Cleaning and maintenance'. Continue with the procedure in 'Using the appliance'.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Prepare the wafer batter using the recipe in the 'Recipes' section. Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Insert the plug into the mains power socket. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. You can raise or lower the baking temperature for your wafers at any time by adjusting the thermostat. Allow the appliance to heat up. This will take a couple of minutes. The green status lamp will dim once the reset temperature has been reached. Open the appliance by pressing in the handle on the lower side. Grease the upper and lower cooking plates with a little liquid butter or oil. Use a pastry brush, oil sprayer, or similar. Spread some batter evenly from the centre across the lower cooking plate. Close the appliance. Check regularly whether the wafer is sufficiently brown by opening the appliance. Remove the wafer from the appliance when it is finished. Do not use any sharp utensils for this purpose, as you may permanently damage the non-stick coating. Roll the wafers into the desired form while they are still hot. Allow the wafer to cool on a cooling rack. Bon appétit!

PLEASE NOTE

• If your wafers brown too quickly or too slowly, adjust the thermostat.
• Do not leave products in the appliance too long. Otherwise, they may burn and produce smoke.
• Do not touch the appliance while it is in use. The appliance gets very hot.

After use, always place the temperature-control dial in the lowest setting (to the left) and remove the plug from the plug socket. Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning or storing. Clean the appliance as described in 'Cleaning and maintenance'.
