4. Close the grill. Don’t use the latch.

2. Pour about 50ml of mixture over each half of the bottom plate.

BASIC WAFFLES (Makes approx. 4)

• 170 g plain flour

• 3 g salt
• 30 g golden caster sugar
• 2 large free range eggs
• 250 ml whole milk
• 3 ml vanilla extract

  2. Separate the egg yolks and whites and combine the egg yolks, milk and vanilla in a separate bowl. Thoroughly mix this into the dry ingredients.
  3. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Carefully fold them into the mixture keeping as much air in the mix as possible. The mixture is best used at room temperature.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

   • Don’t put the sandwich toaster in water or any other liquid.
   • Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
   • Don’t use scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.

You may wash these parts in a dishwasher. If you use a dishwasher, the harsh environment inside the dishwasher will affect the surface finishes. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the appliance.
At the places where the top and bottom toasting plates make contact, the non- stick surfaces may show signs of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the sandwich toaster.

RECYCLING

To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries marked with one of these symbols must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste. Always dispose of electrical and electronic products and, where applicable, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.
