Frequently Asked Questions - WBW300X Waring Commercial

How to use the WBW300X waffle maker for the first time?

Before first use, wipe the plates with a damp cloth to remove dust. Then season the plates by heating empty and brushing with vegetable oil. Wipe off excess. This ensures good non-stick performance.

What temperature setting to use for well-golden waffles?

The recommended setting is level 4. Cooking time varies depending on batter and preferences. You can adjust temperature among available levels.

Why does my waffle maker emit smoke and smell during first use?

This is normal. During the first heating, manufacturing residues burn off. Make sure to season the plates before use. Smoke and smell will disappear after a few uses.

How to clean the plates of the WBW300X waffle maker?

After complete cooling, wipe the plates with a damp cloth to remove residues. Never immerse the appliance. For stubborn stains, pour a little oil and wait 5 minutes. Plates are dishwasher safe only if removed for replacement.

Can I use metal utensils on the plates?

No, never use metal utensils as they scratch the non-stick coating Whitford®. Use silicone or wooden heat-resistant spatulas.

What do the audible signals mean?

The appliance emits 6 beeps when preheating is complete and plates are ready. During cooking, it emits 3 beeps to indicate the waffle is done. These signals help you optimize cooking.

How to replace the waffle maker plates?

Order a replacement kit containing plates and screws. Unscrew the fixing screws, remove the old plates, install the new ones by aligning the protrusions with the notches. Tighten the screws (large screw near handle, small screws around). Follow the manual instructions.

What to do if the appliance suddenly turns off during use?

The overheat protection device has activated. Unplug the appliance and let it cool for 10 minutes before reusing. Check that ventilation openings are not blocked.

Can the WBW300X waffle maker make other types of waffles?

This model is specially designed for bubble waffles. For other types (Belgian waffles, mini Belgian), Waring offers other models like WW180X or WMB400X. Plates are not interchangeable between models.

What is the warranty of the Waring Commercial WBW300X waffle maker?

The warranty is one year from the date of purchase, covering defects in material and workmanship. It is valid in the United States and Canada. For repairs, contact Waring Commercial at 1-800-4WARING or return the appliance to their service center.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. These Waring ^® Commercial Waffle Maker plates are triple-coated with Whitford ^® nonstick coating.* Before the first use, we suggest you season the waffle grids by preheating and then brushing them with cooking oil. Wipe with a paper towel or pastry brush.

2. Remove any dust from shipping by wiping the plates with a damp cloth. Remove all protective paper and wrapping.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Plug cord into wall outlet.
2. Switch the toggle switch to the ON position. The RED light will illuminate to signal power.
3. Preheat your Waring® Commercial Waffle Maker on setting #4 or preferred setting. It will now begin the preheating process. This should take about 4 minutes. The machine will sound 6 beeps and the GREEN indicator light will go on to signal the unit is ready for baking. Season the waffle grids by spraying with cooking spray or brushing with a flavorless oil.

For initial use, it is important that the waffle maker is preheated before seasoning with cooking spray or oil.

NOTE: The first time you use your waffle maker, it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to heating appliances.

1. Choose a setting on the browning control dial. For golden brown waffles, we recommend using setting #4. When the waffle is completely baked, the waffle maker will sound 3 beeps. Baking time is determined by browning level chosen.

2. Fill measuring scoop with batter to fill line. Pour batter evenly into the center of the waffle grid. For mini Belgian units, pour 1 oz. of batter in each waffle mold. Use a heatproof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grid. Close the lid and rotate the unit 180^irc .

3. Once the waffle is ready and the waffle maker has beeped 3 times, rotate the waffle maker 180^irc , open the lid and remove waffle by gently loosening the edges with a heatproof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the nonstick coating.
4. For double waffle makers, multiple waffles can be baked at one time. For one waffle, simply follow previous instructions. For more than one waffle at once, pour batter into top waffle compartment, then rotate 180^irc . You will now be able to open the other waffle compartment. Pour the batter in the grids and rotate another 180^irc in the other direction. Both waffles will now cook. There are individual green READY lights that will illuminate when each waffle is baked, and when an empty compartment is ready to bake another waffle.

THERMAL PROTECTION

IF UNIT OVERHEATS, THE MACHINE WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF. UNPLUG, LET MACHINE COOL FOR 10 MINUTES, PLUG IN AND CONTINUE USE.

IF POWER IS LOST DURING OPERATION, UNPLUG AND LET COOL 10 MINUTES. PLUG IN AND CONTINUE USE.

WAFFLE PLATE CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Clean daily and diligently; doing so will ensure that your waffle maker works properly and continues to work well over time.

How to Clean Waffle Plates

Once you have finished baking each day, turn the switch to the OFF position and remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open and allow plates to cool before cleaning. Be certain plates have cooled completely before cleaning

Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning. Brush crumbs from grooves and absorb any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel. You may clean the plates by wiping with a damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup. If batter adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked batter and let stand approximately 5 minutes. This will allow the batter to soften and will make it easier to remove.

To help remove oil buildup and batter residue, place a damp paper towel in between the waffle plates and close the lid. Allow to sit for a few minutes.

To clean exterior, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.

Serviceable Plates

To order replacement plates, call customer service at 1-800-4WARING, order online or find a local distributor or service center.

Although removable, these plates are not intended to be removed for routine cleaning. Plates are ONLY meant to be removed if there is a scratch on the nonstick coating and you need to replace the plate. If removed for cleaning, the plates are dishwasher safe.
