THE LEGEND OF SEPHRA

Woven among the threads of ancient Aztec legend lies the story of Sephra, an enchanting goddess whose beauty could be described only as the richness of the dark earth combined with the lustre and glow of pure gold. Her voice was softer than the most delicate flower, and her presence carried the aroma of sweet cocoa. It was Sephra who gave the ancient Aztecs the precious gift of the cocoa tree.

The legend reveals that the spirit of Sephra nourished the cocoa trees and lived within the priceless beans they produced. The Aztec kings named the cocoa tree “Theobroma Cacao,” meaning “food of the gods.” So valuable were cocoa beans that they were used to pay tribute to royalty and were given as sacred offerings to the gods.

Montezuma, the ruler of the wealthy Aztec Empire, was so enchanted by Sephra that he commissioned an elite force of skilled artisans and master craftsmen to construct a temple in her honour. As a special offering to the goddess, Montezuma built a magnificent fountain in the highest room of the temple and filled it with glistening spring water, which flowed from beneath its walls. He then surrounded the fountain with a splendid array of the most perfect cocoa beans, in hopes that Sephra would continue to bless the people with the unique and valuable crop.

So pleased was Sephra with Montezuma’s gift that she came to him in a dream and told him that her spirit would always live in the fountain he had given her. Moments later, Montezuma awoke to the sweet smell of cocoa lingering in the air. The aroma led him to the upper room of the temple where Sephra’s fountain stood.

To his astonishment, the fountain no longer flowed with water, but with the richest, purest chocolate… this was truly a gift from the gods.

For centuries, Sephra’s fountain remained hidden beneath the ruins of the ancient Aztec temple, waiting to be discovered. At long last it was, and with it was unveiled the secret of the pure, rich chocolate once coveted by gods and kings . . .

APPLIANCE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK SURFACE
Choose an easy-to-clean work surface on which to install the appliance.

The appliance must be at least 20cm from any vertical surfaces that are not heat-resistant in order to prevent damage by heat radiating from the Plates (6).

To ensure maximum ease of use, the top of the irons should be between 85 and 95cm from the ground.

BEFORE FIRST USE

The Baking Plates (6) become very hot during operation. Use the unit only for the explicit purposes, i.e. for baking and cooking cake mixtures (with wheat flour, potato flour or wholemeal flour). We strictly advise against inappropriate use.

Do not use the Baking Plate (6) for heating up pots or pans.
Do not cover the Baking Plates (6) with aluminium foil.
Do not place plastic basins onto the Baking Plate (6).

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure this appliance is plugged into electrical outlet which has a voltage and amperage rating that matches the rating Plate (6) on the back of the unit.
2. Place the appliance on flat and solid surface. Use the Handle (7) to rotate the Plates (6) and make sure it turns smoothly

Note: It is common that the rotation can feel tight to turn for the first use. Try rotating the Plates (6) several times to loosen it.

IMPORTANT

The Waffle Maker becomes very hot although it does not appear to be. Therefore, we advise you to be very careful when placing anything onto the Baking Plate (6). Take care at filling the Waffle Mix into the mould that the upper Plate (6) has been opened as far as the stop. After filling the Waffle Mix onto the Iower Plate (6), the unit is closed by Iowering the upper Baking
Plate (6). Then adjust the Timer (2) to the demanded minutes.
When the time is over, the Timer (2) beeps and the Waffle is ready.
We advise you to dispense exactly the recommended quantity of Waffle Mix onto the Plate (6).
Otherwise the residual liquid mix would be pressed out of the sides of the Plates (6) and will smudge your device. During the baking procedure it might happen that steam escapes from the unit. Avoid close contact with the steam otherwise it might cause burnings. For this reason the unit should only be opened and closed by means of the insulated Handle (7). Remove the finished baking products only by using the appropriate utensils such as heat-resistant plastic, silicone or wooden spatula. Do not touch the Plates (6) with bare hands.

CLEANING

Only clean this unit with a Sephra Soft Brush or similar one.
Do not use abrasive detergents or sharp objects to clean.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1| Connect your machine to a power supply then turn on the Power Switch (4) and the LED Digital Timer (2) will turn on and the machine will beep once.
---|---
STEP 2| Set the desired temperature using the adjustable Thermostat (1) (we recommend between 180 – 200°C). The heating indicator on the top right will turn off when the desired temperature has been met this will take approximately 12-15 minutes. Using the up and down arrows under the Digital Timer (2) set the desired cooking time we recommend between 120 – 180 seconds but this will vary with different batter mixes and how crispy you would like you Waffle to be.
STEP 3| Lift the top Plate (6) and pour 135-145g of prepared Waffle Mix into the centre of the lower Plate (6). Close the Plates (6) together and rotate the Handle (7) clockwise 180 degrees to start the Timer (2) for the Waffle making process. You can see how long your Waffle has to cook as the Digital Timer (2) counts down to zero.
STEP 4| When the Waffle is ready the you will hear 5 beeps and the Digital Timer (2) will reset to the original cooking time indicating that you need to remove your Waffle from the Plates (6). To remove the Waffle rotate the Handle (7) counter clockwise 180 degrees to its original position. Open the Plates (6) and remove the Waffle by gently loosening the edges with a heat-resistant plastic, silicone or wooden spatula. Do not use metal utensils near the Plates (6) to avoid damaging the non-stick coating!
STEP 5| To make your next Waffle simply go to STEP 3.

Close the top Plate (6) while preparing for the next Waffle.

SAFETY
The unit described in this operating becomes hotter than 60°C. Please follow our instructions in order to avoid burning yourself.

CAUTION
