Before the first use

PLEASE NOTE

IMPORTANT : When you use your waffle maker for the first time there may be a slight smell and some smoke. You should therefore operate the device for at least 5 minutes at the highest setting without food when first using it. Following this, let the device cool down with the lid open, then wipe the plates with a soft damp cloth.

Clean the device as described in the “Cleaning and Care” section.

6. Set the device to Setting 5 to heat it up. The device will beep 5 times when it has heated up and the green baking light will turn on.
7. Turn the knob to the desired browning setting. We recommend browning setting 3 for the first time you use the device. Depending on the desired degree of browning you can then turn the setting up or down for further waffl es.
8. Pour approx. 2 ladles of batter into the pouring chute. The amount of batter will depend on its characteristics. If necessary, adjust the amount of batter for further waffles.
9. The green baking light will turn off.
10. The waffl e batter will expand inside the device. Excess batter will run into the overflow container and can be used to make the next waffle.
11. Place a cooling rack on the foot to cool cooked waffles.
12. When the waffl e is cooked the device will beep 5 times and the green baking light will turn back on.
13. You can remove the cooked waffle. To do this, press the lock on the side and carefully open the cooking plates using the handle.
14. Remove the waffle carefully and place it on the cooling rack.
15. Close the cooking plates again, also using the handle.
16. Repeat Steps 7 – 15 to prepare more waffles.
17. When you have prepared the desired number of waffl es, use the On/Off switch to turn off the device and remove the plug from the socket.
18. Open the cooking plates and let the device cool down.

PLEASE NOTE

• Make sure that the dough is not too thick and that the dough is poured into the feed chute quickly. Dough that is too thick can clog the pouring chute and if it is fed too slowly, the dough can stick to the pouring chute.
• If excess batter runs into the overflow container, then simply remove the container and use the batter in it to make the next waffle.
• Do not use metal utensils to remove the waffles. This could damage the non-stick coating.
• Let the device cool down before you clean it and put it away
