Safety advices for using the appliance

CAUTION: Hazard of injury and burns!

• Attention! Hazard of fire! Overheated fats and oils can inflame.

Therefore, food containing fats and oils may only be prepared under supervision! Bread toasted too long can also inflame!

• Do not transport the appliance when hot. It must have cooled completely before cleaning or moving it!
• Observe the following when setting up the appliance:

o Unwind the power cord completely from the cable rewind.

o Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface (no varni-shed surfaces, no table cloths etc.).
o Place it beyond children's reach.
o Leave a ventilation distance of at least 10 cm to all sides and 1 m above the appliance to avoid damage by heat or fat splatters and to grant an unobstructed work area. Unhindered air supply has to be ensured.

Non-stick coating

The baking plates are equipped with a high quality non-stick coating. The coating is easy to clean and prevents food from sticking onto the surfaces.

How to operate your appliance

WARNING: Hazard of injury and burns!

Casing, baking plates and other components are getting hot during use and firstly stay hot after switch-off!

1.) Heating up

• Connect the appliance to an outlet with alternating current. The appliance is heating up now. The red pilot lamp of the baking lights glows.
• Open the appliance and grease both baking surfaces slightly with a brush. As the baking surfaces are non-stick coated they must only be greased at every first baking process, it is normally not necessary for further applications. Close the appliance.
• Push the temperature regulator to medium position. As soon as the specified temperature is reached, the baking light changes from red to green. The appliance is ready for baking.

2.) Filling in the dough

• Open the appliance.
• Now, put some dough in the middle of the lower baking plate. Make sure to take the right dough quantity.
  Please note: If too much dough is filled in, it will run over and soil the appliance.
• Close the appliance by slight pressure on the handle.

3.) Baking

• A few seconds after you filled in the dough, the baking light will change to red. The baking process starts. By means of the infinitely variable temperature regulator you can choose the level of browning. At a lower setting you get lighter waffles and at a higher setting you get darker ones. In between there are stepless all desired levels of browning.
• After you have taken out the waffle, the appliance can be filled with dough again as soon as the baking lights turn green.

4.) Switching off

• Always pull the mains plug after baking!
- Only now the appliance is switched off and does not heat any more.

Disposal/recycling

Packaging material

Do not simply throw the packaging material away but recycle it.

Deliver paper, cardboard and corrugated cardboard to waste paper collection points.

Also put plastic packaging material and foils into the specific collection containers.

The printed or embossed markings indicate the materials which were used: PE stands for polyethylene (code 02 means high-density PE, 04 stands for low-density PE), PS stands for polystyrene and CPE for chlorinated polyethylene. PAP 20 means corrugated cardboard and PAP 21 other cardboard. All plastics are thermoplastics which are very easy and efficient to produce. They are also very easy to recycle and therefore can even have a smaller ecological footprint than comparable cardboard packaging.

Disposal information

According to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2012/19/EU), this product may not be disposed of with other household waste at the end of its service life. Therefore please submit it e.g. at a municipal collection point (e.g. recycling center) according to the laws of your country of residence for the recycling of electrical and electronic appliances. Your municipality or city administration will inform you about the disposal options.

Tip: Give appliances that are no longer required but still functional to a charitable purpose (e.g. as a donation). This does not only improve the environmental balance and ensures more sustainability, but also testifi es to a welcome social commitment.
