Grounding Instructions

For your protection, the Waring Pro® Professional Waffle Maker is supplied with a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in the figure.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long 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, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over. The extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord.

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 filling the supplied cup to the top so it will fill the lower grid with the correct amount of batter.

For added convenience while baking waffles, rest measuring scoop 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.

If waffles tend to stick to waffle grids, add slightly more oil or butter to the batter. Packaged Belgian waffle mixes found in most supermarkets may also be used with this unit.

SUGGESTED TOPPINGS

RECIPES

Classic Belgian Waffles

Classic Belgian waffles have a crispy outside and are soft and moist on the inside. They are often served as part of a celebration – even to celebrate something as simple as a beautiful day. Try these waffles with your favorite syrup or a topping such as sliced fresh strawberries and freshly whipped cream.

Makes 10 waffles

• 1½ cups water, divided
• 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
• 3 cups sifted flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs, separated + 1 egg white 1
• ⁄3 cup sugar
• 1½ cups whole milk
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter – melted and cooled
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Heat ¾ of the water to lukewarm, 105°–110°F. Dissolve the yeast in the water with a pinch of the sugar from the recipe; let stand 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture begins to foam.

Put the flour and salt into a large bowl; stir to blend and reserve. Add the egg yolks, one of the egg whites, and remaining sugar to the yeast mixture; stir to blend. Add the remaining water, milk, melted butter, oil, and vanilla;

stir until the mixture is smooth. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and beat until the mixture is smooth.

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites gently into the batter. Let the batter stand for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Preheat your Waring Pro® Professional Belgian Waffle Maker on setting #4 or preferred setting* (green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated).

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

Use the measuring scoop to measure the batter and pour into the preheated waffle iron. Use a heatproof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close lid and rotate waffle maker 180˚ to the right. Bake the waffles in the waffle iron until beeper indicates that the waffle is done. Rotate waffle maker 180˚ to the left. Remove waffle and repeat until all batter is used. Waffles may be kept warm in a low (200°F) oven. Place waffles arranged on a cookie sheet on a rack in the warm oven. Serve with whipped cream, fruit, jam, powdered sugar, or a warm fruit syrup.

• We recommend using setting #4 to achieve a golden brown baked Belgian waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.

Gingerbread Belgian Waffles

These waffles have the flavor of just-baked gingerbread, and are delicious served with fresh fruit or caramelized apples and pears.

Makes 6 waffles

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, salt, ginger, and lemon zest; stir to combine. Add the milk, egg yolks, melted cooled butter, and vanilla to the yeast mixture.

Stir until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth, using a hand mixer on low speed. Cover with waxed paper and let stand to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 30 minutes.

Beat the egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Gently fold into the batter.

Preheat your Waring Pro® Professional Belgian Waffle Maker on setting #4 or preferred setting* (green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated).

In a large bowl, combine the flour, chopped nuts, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir to blend and reserve.

In a second bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, egg yolks, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract; stir until smooth. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to blend until smooth, using a whisk.

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.

Preheat your Waring Pro® Professional Belgian Waffle Maker on setting #4 or preferred setting* (green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated).

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

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Once you have finished baking, switch toggle to the Off position; remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open and allow grids to cool before cleaning.

Never take your Belgian waffle maker apart for cleaning.

Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel. You may clean the grids by wiping with a damp cloth, to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup.

Be certain that grids have cooled completely beforecleaning. If batter adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked batter and let stand approximately five minutes, allowing batter to soften for easy removal.

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.
