NOTE: This Waring® Commercial Waffle Maker has been treated with a special nonstick coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the waffle grids by brushing with cooking oil. Wipe with a paper towel or pastry brush.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Before using your Waring® Commercial Waffle Maker for the first time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping the plates with a damp cloth. Remove all protective paper and wrapping.

2. Plug cord into 120V AC, 20 Amp (NEMA 5-20) wall outlet (for WW250X2) or 208V AC wall outlet (for WW250BX2). Each waffle unit works independently. You can use one at a time or both at the same time. Switch the toggle switch or switches to the ON position. The red light(s) will go on to signal power. The waffle unit(s) will now begin the preheating process. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Each unit will sound 6 beeps and the green indicator light(s) 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. Preheat your Waring® Commercial Waffle Maker on setting #4 or preferred setting (green indicator lights will be illuminated when preheated).

For best results, do not open waffle maker during cooking process. Doing so will interfere with the timing mechanism.

1. Fill measuring cup to Belgian Waffle fill line (top line on batter cup) marking or to top of measuring cup, depending on the recipe. (For loose batters, fill to the fill line; for thicker batters, fill to the top) and pour batter evenly into the center of the waffle grids. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid and rotate the unit 180^ to the right.

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

3. Once the waffle(s) are ready and the waffle maker has beeped 3 times, rotate the waffle maker 180^ to the left, open the lid and remove waffle(s) by gently loosening the edges with a heat-

proof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the nonstick coating.

1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet, once baking has been completed.

TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT BELGIAN WAFFLES

We recommend setting #4 when using commercial pancake/waffle mixes.

We recommend setting #4 for Belgian waffle recipes.

If you prefer crisper, darker Belgian waffles, increase the browning control.

For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.

For best results, we recommend using the Belgian waffle fill line (top line on batter cup) on the batter cup or use enough batter to fill the entire lower grid.

For added convenience while baking waffles, hang measuring scoop on bowl with handle hanging on outside of bowl and scoop on inside of bowl until the next baking cycle.

To measure flour, stir the flour first to aerate it, since it settles when it sits. Then spoon it into a measuring cup, leveling off the top with the back of a knife – do not pack down into measuring cup. These quick steps will help you avoid heavy waffles. Belgian waffles taste best when made to order, but baked Belgian waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispness.

Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely, and then place in plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in an oven, toaster or toaster oven when ready to 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.
