Frequently Asked Questions - WM 43981 S KALORIK

How to use the waffle maker for the first time?

Before first use, remove all packaging and stickers. Clean the plates with a damp cloth, then heat the appliance empty for 10 minutes to eliminate manufacturing residues. Ventilate the room. This may produce smoke and odor, which is normal.

How to clean the waffle maker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool completely. Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Clean the interior and corners with paper towel or a soft cloth. Never use abrasive products, do not immerse the appliance, and do not put it in the dishwasher. For stubborn residues, pour a little vegetable oil, wait 5 minutes, then wipe.

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

That is normal. The green light indicates that the set temperature is reached. It turns off and on regularly because the thermostat regulates the temperature to maintain constant heat.

How much batter should I put in the waffle maker?

Place a little batter in the center of each cavity on the bottom plate, without filling edge to edge. Batter increases in volume during cooking, so too much batter may overflow. Use the provided measuring cup and pour slowly 8-12 cm above the spout.

What to do if batter overflows from the waffle maker?

The waffle maker is designed with a spout to contain excess batter. If overflow is significant, reduce the amount of batter next time. Simply remove the excess from the spout before closing the lid.

Can I use metal utensils on the plates?

No, never use metal or sharp utensils as they may scratch the non-stick coating. Use a wooden or heat-resistant plastic spatula.

How to get a crispy waffle?

For crispy waffles, use a thin batter (not too thick) and set the thermostat to a high setting (MAX). Cooking takes about 4 minutes. You can adjust the time according to your taste. See the crispy waffle recipe in the manual.

Is the appliance under warranty?

Yes, the Kalorik product is warranted for 1 year against material and manufacturing defects in the United States and Canada. Keep the proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover misuse, normal wear, or unauthorized repairs.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, but make sure the amperage of the extension cord is equal to or greater than that of the appliance. Do not let the cord hang off the work surface to avoid tripping hazards.

How to store the waffle maker?

After use, set the thermostat to MIN or OFF, unplug the appliance and leave it open to cool completely. Store it in a dry, clean place away from dust.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

PARTS DESCRIPTION

See page 2-3.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove and peel off all promotional and packaging materials. Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of dust.
• Clean the waffle maker (See "Cleaning and Care") and place the unit on a flat, dry, and heat-resistant surface.
• Prop up the unit on the side which has the batter opening and remove the stand from underneath the appliance and place it on the surface like shown in the picture on Page 2.
• It is recommended to heat the waffle maker for about 10 minutes without any foodstuff on its surfaces. This helps to eliminate any grease that may have adhered during manufacturing and to eliminate the "new" appliance smell.
• Ventilate the room during this period. When your grill is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.

OPERATION

• Place the unit on a flat, dry, and heat-resistant surface.
• Prop up the unit on one side using the attached stand on the bottom of the unit to fix it in place as shown in the picture on page 2.
• Plug into the electrical outlet. The red power light will come on to indicate that the appliance is on.

- Set the thermostat to the desired position from “MIN” to “MAX” (MAX being the hottest). When the green pilot light goes on, it means that the desired temperature is reached. During use, this light will come on and off regularly. This simply means that the thermostat is regulating the appliance's temperature.

Caution: during operation, the baking plates heat up. Use caution to avoid burns. Use oven mitts and heat-resistant wooden or plastic utensils!

• Open the appliance carefully by using two fingers to pull on the clamp and lightly brush the plates with oil or non-stick cooking spray. Do not touch the region next to the warning sign at any time as it may be hot.
• Shut the lid using the same clamp making sure not to touch the region next to the warning sign with bare hands.
• Pour the batter into the measuring cup until 185 ml
• Begin to pour batter through the black colored opening on the raised side of the unit.
• As the unit is raised from one side and shut from the other, the batter will spread evenly through the unit.
• Pour all the batter from the measuring cup into the opening.
• Bake until golden brown. If necessary, adjust the temperature by turning the thermostat to the desired browning level needed to bake, and wait until the green pilot light goes out.

Caution: After pouring the batter, take extra precaution to not touch the region next to the 'hot surface symbol' warning sign on the machine

- When the waffles are ready, use two fingers again to pull on the clamp and open the appliance.

Caution: Do not operate the appliance in the horizontal position

- Remove the waffle with a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use any sharp metallic objects, as this might damage the non-stick coating.

- When baking is finished, set thermostat to "off" or "min.", unplug the cord from the socket and leave the appliance open to cool.

Note: For best results, use a thinner waffle batter rather than a thick one.

HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT EASY POUR WAFFLE

Your Easy Pour Waffle Maker is designed to create a delicious Belgium style waffle without holes, empty spaces or messy overflow. Its custom baking plates channel the batter down on a 45% angle to produce a complete waffle with a crisp finish and a tender center. The batter expands during the cooking process and the overflow is contained in the pour spout. Just remove the excess tab, leaving you with a picture perfect delicious waffle every time.

Use the following recipes or, if using a boxed waffle mix, follow the directions on the box, then thin with water (2 tbsp. to 2/3 cup depending on batch size) for a smooth pourable batter. Use the enclosed perfect portion measuring cup to pour batter into the waffle maker when green ready light is illuminated.

Pour batter slow and steadily holding the measuring cup 3-5 inches above the pour spout. This helps prevent clogging of the pour spout. Cook for 4 minutes on max setting. Open the lid and remove the waffle to serve. We recommend using tongs, or a fork specially design for Belgian Waffles. With these instructions you will make the perfect waffle every time.
