Frequently Asked Questions - WE 15 STEBA

How to clean the Steba WE 15 waffle maker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Wipe the plates with paper towels to remove residues. Clean the housing with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive products or metal utensils to preserve the non-stick coating.

Can I use an external timer with this waffle maker?

No, it is strictly forbidden to use a separate timer or remote control system. The appliance must be plugged directly into the mains.

What is the recommended cooking time?

The cooking time is approximately 3 minutes. However, this depends on the selected temperature and the consistency of the batter. Monitor the cooking and adjust if necessary.

Why does the green light not turn on?

The green light turns on when the cooking temperature is reached. If it does not turn on, check that the appliance is properly plugged in and that the thermostat is set to a sufficient position. Preheating may take a few minutes.

Can I use homemade waffle batter?

Yes, you can use homemade recipes. The manual provides two recipes: sweet waffles and savory waffles. Make sure the batter is fluid and let it rest for 30 minutes before cooking.

Is the waffle maker suitable for children?

The appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above under supervision. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance must only be performed by children over 8 under supervision.

What to do if the waffle sticks to the plates?

Lightly oil the plates before first use. Use a well-fluid batter and do not overfill. Never remove waffles with metal utensils; use a wooden or silicone spatula to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.

How to store the waffle maker?

Make sure the appliance is completely cool and clean. Store it in a dry place, away from dust. Do not place anything on top during storage.

Can I use metal utensils on the plates?
