Frequently Asked Questions - 02651 Gourmetmaxx

How to clean the Gourmetmaxx 02651 waffle maker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool completely. Clean the cooking plates with a soft damp cloth and a little dish soap. Never immerse the appliance in water and do not put it in the dishwasher.

What to do if the indicator lights do not light up?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and that the outlet works. Try another outlet. Check the mains fuse.

How long does it take to preheat the waffle maker?

Preheating takes about 3 to 4 minutes. The green light goes out when the operating temperature is reached.

Can I use the waffle maker without opening it to check the cooking?

Open the lid gently after about 2 minutes to check the cooking. Do not use metal utensils to remove waffles.

What is the recommended waffle recipe?

Mix 125 g of soft butter, 250 g of flour, 100 g of sugar, 2 tsp of baking powder, 200 ml of milk, and 3 eggs. Beat until smooth. Pour about 1 tbsp per mold and cook for 2 minutes.

How to prevent waffles from sticking?

Even though the coating is non-stick, lightly grease the plates before first use with a little oil or butter.

Can I store the waffle maker upright?

Store it flat in a dry place away from sunlight. Do not wrap the cord too tightly around the appliance; use the cord storage underneath.

Why does the green light turn on and off during cooking?

This is normal: the appliance regulates the temperature by reheating when necessary. The green light lights up during heating phases.

Is the appliance safe for children?

The appliance gets very hot. Do not leave children under 8 years old unattended nearby. Children over 8 must be instructed about the risks.

What to do if waffles are overdone or too light?

Adjust the cooking time: reduce it if waffles are too dark, extend it if they are too light. Also check the batter consistency.

Before Initial Use

CAUTION!

• Keep children and animals away from the packaging material. There is a danger of suffocation, as well as other hazards!
  Please note: You might notice a strange smell the first time you use the device. We therefore recommend that you initially operate the device for a few minutes WITHOUT any contents in order to burn off any production residues that may remain. During this time, make sure the room is well ventilated, e.g. with wide-open windows!
  There may still be some production residues on the device. To avoid harmful effects to your health, thoroughly clean the device before you use it for the first time.

• Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the device. These may damage the device.

• Take the device out of the packaging and remove all films and stickers that may be present. Inspect the device for transport damage. If you notice any damage, do not use it(!), but contact our customer service department.

• Clean the baking surfaces of the device with a soft, damp cloth/sponge and a little detergent if necessary. To be able to flip open the lid, press against the lid catch (7) on the top until it opens. Dry the device with a soft tea towel.

• Place the device on a dry, heat-resistant, flat surface at a sufficient distance from other objects and from the wall. Please make sure that the device is out of the reach of children.

• Plug the mains plug into a properly installed and earthed 230 V mains socket with earthing contacts. Ensure that the cable is not trapped between the baking surfaces! The device will now start to heat up. Allow it to heat up for a few minutes so that any possible production residues are removed.
• Switch the device off by pulling the mains plug from the mains socket.
• Allow the device to cool down and then clean it again.

Use

CAUTION!

• Danger of burns! The baking surfaces of the device will become very hot. Be careful when filling the moulds and removing the waffles to ensure that you do not touch the baking surfaces!
  The device must always be in a horizontal position while it is being used and the lid must be closed.
• Danger of scalding! Steam may escape from the device. Be careful when opening or closing the device.
  ■ Make sure that you do not overfill the device. Excess batter mixture may escape over the sides of the device. It should also always be possible to close the device without too much effort. Do not try to close the device by forcing it shut.

Although the baking surfaces have a ceramic coating, we still recommend that you lightly grease them before cooking your first waffle.

1. Prepare the waffle mixture to your own taste. You will find a recipe suggestion later on in these instructions.
2. Place the device on a dry and heat-resistant, flat surface a sufficient distance away from flammable objects. If necessary, place a heat-resistant surface below the device. Please make sure that the device is out of the reach of children.
3. Open up the lid (8) and lightly grease the baking surfaces before you bake the first waffle. To be able to flip open the lid, press against the lid catch (7) on the top until it opens.
4. Preheat the device: Connect it to a mains socket that has been properly installed. The red and green control lamp will light up. The green lamp signifies the heating process. Keep the device closed while this is happening.
5. Once the device has reached its operating temperature (after approx. 3-4 minutes), the green control lamp goes out. Open up the lid.
6. Pour a blob of waffle mixture into the 4 moulds on the lower baking surface. Make sure that you do not pour too much mixture into the moulds to prevent the mixture from spilling over.
7. Carefully close the lid without applying pressure and allow the waffles to bake for approx. 2 minutes. During baking, the green control lamp may light up and then

go out again. This means that the device is heating up again in order to maintain a constant temperature.

1. Open the lid to check whether the waffles are already baked to your liking or whether they still need to be baked for a little longer.
2. Once the waffles are ready, remove them carefully. Remove the waffles using kitchen utensils made from wood or plastic. Do not use any metal or other sharp-edged objects so that you do not damage the ceramic coating on the baking surfaces!
3. To bake further waffles, close the lid of the device. Wait until it has heated up again and the green control lamp has gone out. Then repeat steps 6 to 9. If you do not wish to bake any more waffles, pull the plug out of the mains socket and allow the device to cool down fully while it is open before you clean it and then put it away (see the "Cleaning and Storage" chapter).
