What to do if the green light does not turn on?

Check that the appliance is properly plugged in and that the socket works. The green light turns on when the optimal temperature is reached (about 4-5 minutes). If it still does not turn on after that time, contact customer service.

Can I use metal utensils on the plates?

How to get crispy waffles?

Place the cooked waffles on a wire rack rather than stacking them. The batter should not be too runny. For even browning, lightly grease the plates before first use.

Before First Use

• Remove all packaging material and check whether the appliance is complete.
• Place the appliance on an even, non-slippery and heat resistant surface.
  Fully unwind the power cord (6) and connect the appliance to a properly installed wall socket.

The waffle plates (4) have a protective coating. To remove the protective layers on the heating elements, heat up the appliance (without food) for approx. 10 minutes.

Slightly grease the waffle plates with some cooking oil before using the device for the first time. This helps to seal the heating plates and must only be carried out once.

This could cause a slight build-up of smoke and odor. This doesn't cause any harm nor does it mean that your appliance does not work properly. Make sure that the room is well ventilated!

After this preheating process, your waffle maker is ready for operation. Let it completely cool down and clean it as described under Cleaning and Care.

Warning: Plastic bags are a danger to toddlers and babies, therefore keep them away to avoid

suffocation.
