Frequently Asked Questions - Stuffler 03512 Presto

How do I clean the waffle maker?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe plates with a damp cloth or paper towel. Do not immerse in water or use abrasive cleaners.

Do I need to preheat the waffle maker?

Yes, allow it to heat until the indicator light shows it is ready. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.

How much batter should I use?

Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the center of the lower plate, then close the lid. Adjust based on waffle size.

Can I use pancake batter?

Pancake batter is thinner and may not produce the same texture. It is best to use a waffle recipe.

Why is my waffle sticking?

Ensure the plates are properly seasoned (lightly oiled before first use) and that you are using enough oil in the batter.

Does the waffle maker have an automatic shut-off?

Yes, it features automatic shut-off after a period of inactivity to prevent overheating.

Can I store the waffle maker upright?

No, it should be stored flat. The cord can be wrapped around the base for compact storage.

What is the warranty period?

Presto offers a 1-year limited warranty against defects. Contact customer service for details.

Is the waffle maker loud during operation?

Some expansion noises are normal during heating. If loud or unusual, check for obstructions.

Can I make other foods in it?

This waffle maker is designed only for waffles. Using other foods may damage the non-stick coating.

INSTRUCTIONS

This is a Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance manufacturers.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the waffle maker.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, never put the cord, plug, or unit in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries. Use only genuine Presto® accessories and replacement parts.

8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

11. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid.

12. Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

Important Cord Information

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

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

If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.

Getting Acquainted

Before using for the first time, become familiar with the waffle maker features (Fig. A). Wash the waffle tongs and wipe the waffle grids with a damp cloth before initial use.

How to Use

1. Gather the ingredients for the batter and filling. Do any prep work required for the filling, such as thawing, cooking, or slicing of foods. (See pages 3 through 6 for helpful hints, recipes, and batter/filling options.)

2. Place the waffle maker on the countertop in the open position. Then squeeze the waffle tongs handle and fit the waffle tongs in the unit; the circular portion fits on the ledge surrounding the grids and the handle sets on the handle rest (Fig. A). Always preheat the waffle maker with the waffle tongs in the unit (Fig. B).

3. Close the unit and keep it in the horizontal position for preheating (Fig. D, page 3). Plug the cord into a 120VAC electrical outlet and preheat for 10 minutes. (The power light will be on whenever the unit is plugged in.)

NOTE: When using the waffle maker for the first time, a slight odor or smoking may occur as internal manufacturing residue burns off. This is normal during initial use.

1. While the unit is heating, prepare the waffle batter.

NOTE: Because the grids are covered with a nonstick finish, there should never be a need to apply vegetable oil, except in the rare instances described in the Helpful Hints section. Never use no-stick cooking sprays.

1. Open the waffle maker. Pour batter into the waffle maker so that the bottom grids and waffle divider are thinly, but completely covered. This is about 13 cup of batter.

2. Add the desired filling:

- Fill to the point that is halfway between the bottom and top of the square projections (Fig. C). It is important to leave enough room so you can fully cover the filling with the layer of batter described in step 7.

- Leave a thin margin between the filling and the inside edge of the tongs (Fig. C).

Fig. B Waffle tongs in unit Top layer fill line Square projections Handle grips Bottom layer of batter should cover the grids and waffle divider

Top layer fill line Place filling inside dotted circle, up to the halfway point of the square projection. Fig. C

• When a sauce is part of the filling, layer the sauce between the other ingredients, such as the cheese or meat, instead of putting it directly on the batter.
• Fruits/vegetables should be room temperature if using for filling. If fruits/vegetables have been frozen and thawed, drain them before use. If using canned fruits/vegetables, drain before use.

IMPORTANT: Fillings such as meats, chicken, and eggs should be cooked and frozen foods thawed before using them to make waffles. The baking time is not long enough nor is the temperature hot enough to adequately cook food or heat frozen food used for filling.

1. Pour additional batter over the filling until it is to the top of the square projections on the waffle tongs (Fig. C) and covers the filling.
2. Close the waffle maker (Fig. D). Immediately grasp the handles and flip the unit over 180^ (Fig. E and Fig. F). This allows the batter to flow into the waffle grids to make a fully formed waffle.
3. Set a timer (see waffle recipes and stuffing ideas on pages 4 through 6 for cooking times). Most waffle batters will take 7 to 8 minutes. Cake mixes and cake batter made from scratch will take approximately 7 12 minutes to cook.

NOTE: When cooking waffle batters that contain several eggs, you may notice the handles separate as the batter cooks. This is normal.

Handle vent Figure D Handle vent Figure E Fig. E

CAUTION! It is normal for steam to escape from the handle vent during cooking. To prevent steam burns, keep well away from the vent.

1. When set time has expired, open the waffle maker. Grasping the red handle grips, squeeze the tongs and lift the waffle out of the unit. Release the waffle onto a serving plate (Fig. G). The outer band of the waffle has its own distinctive pattern and is lighter in appearance than the rest of the waffle. This is normal.
   CAUTION! To avoid burns, do not touch the metal parts on the waffle tongs.
2. Place the tongs back in the unit and heat in the closed position while preparing for the next waffle. Repeat steps 5 through 10.
3. Unplug the waffle maker when cooking is complete. Clean as instructed on page 7.

Helpful Hints

There are many choices for waffle batter. You can use one of the batter recipes found on pages 5 and 6 or one of your own recipes. If preferred, packaged pancake and waffle mixes, all-purpose baking mixes, cake mixes, and muffin mixes can be used. One batch of batter from a packaged mix will make about three stuffed waffles.
For batters that are thick and do not pour easily, place spoonfuls of batter onto the waffle grid. Then use a heat-resistant spatula to spread the batter out evenly to the edge of the grid.
Traditional waffles without filling can be baked, if desired. Each waffle will require about 1 ^1/4 cups of batter and baking time will be 7 ^1/2 to 8 minutes.
♦ Keep waffles warm and crisp until serving by placing them in a single layer directly on a rack in a 200°F oven.
For most batters, oiling is unnecessary and may actually reduce the waffle maker's nonstick qualities. However, when using a made-from-scratch batter that has no added fat (e.g. substitutes applesauce for oil) or contains minimal oil (less than 1 tablespoon), apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the waffle grids before cooking the first waffle. That will prevent sticking. For additional waffles, apply only as needed. Never use no-stick cooking sprays. They leave a tacky residue and will give the waffle a mottled appearance rather than an even brown appearance.

Questions and Answers

1. I put too much filling in my waffle and it oozed out of the waffle. Some of the filling is now baked onto the grids. How do I clean the grids?

Please refer to #3 in the Care, Cleaning, and Storage section on page 7. Next time reduce the amount of filling.

1. The tongs don't lift the baked waffle out of the waffle maker. Why?

The waffle is too heavy with filling. It will be necessary to reduce the amount of filling for the next waffle. Generally, 12 cup of filling can be used.

1. When I lift the tongs with the baked waffle, the waffle separates and only the top half of the waffle comes out. What I am doing wrong?

The waffle may have too much filling or has not been baked long enough. Bake the waffle for another 30 seconds to 1 minute to allow the waffle to cook through.

1. Can I use puréed fruit like applesauce in place of oil in the batter recipes?

Yes, waffles can be made successfully using puréed fruit as a substitute for oil. Because there is no oil in the recipe, it is suggested that the waffle grids be brushed lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

1. Where can I find more recipes?

Please scan the QR code found on page 5 periodically for more recipes and filling suggestions.

1. Can I use gluten free or keto waffle batter in the stuffed waffle maker?

Yes, gluten free flour and nut flours can be used to make batters to use in the waffle maker.

Care, Cleaning, and Storage

1. Unplug the waffle maker and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
2. To clean the waffle maker, brush any loose crumbs from the waffle grids. Then wipe the grids with a paper towel or cloth. Clean the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth.

Should any batter become baked onto the grids or the outside of the unit, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the baked-on batter. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to soften and wipe off with a paper towel or cloth. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners on the unit. Never immerse the waffle maker base in water or other liquid.

1. If filling oozes out of the stuffed waffle during baking, it may be necessary to perform a more thorough cleaning of the waffle grids. Unplug the waffle maker and add 1 tablespoon of water to the bottom grid. Close the unit and without flipping, allow it to cool to a comfortable temperature. Then, using the dampness remaining on the grids, wipe away the residue.
2. Wash the waffle tongs in hot, soapy water, and rinse thoroughly. Do not wash the tongs or waffle maker in the dishwasher.
3. Place the waffle tongs in the waffle maker and close the unit.
4. Push the cord into the cord storage port and secure the plug end in the clip (Fig. H).
5. For compact storage, grasp the waffle maker handles and rotate the waffle maker to the vertical position. While holding the handles together, rotate the red locking lever until it secures the unit in the upright position (Fig. I and Fig. J).

Before the next use, remember to unlock from the storage position (Fig. J). Hold the handles together and rotate the red locking lever towards the cord storage (Fig. I).
