Parts & Features

USING YOUR WAFFLE MAKER

• Before first use, remove all packaging material and thoroughly clean the Express Waffle Maker.
• Never touch the Cooking Surface or Cover while appliance is in use.
• DO NOT lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is hot and may cause injury.
• Always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. Lift from the side.

1. Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface. Plug the cord into a power outlet. The Indicator Light will illuminate, signaling that the Express Waffle Maker is heating up.

2. Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the Indicator Light will automatically shut off. Now, you’re ready to get cooking!

3. Carefully lift the Cover by the Cover Handle and spray both Cooking Surfaces with a small amount of non-aerosol cooking oil.

4. Place food or pour batter onto the Cooking Surface and close the Cover.

5. Once food is cooked to your preference, carefully remove it from the Cooking Surface with a heat-resistant nylon or silicone cooking utensil. Do not use metal utensils to remove or place food on the Cooking Surface as this will damage the non-stick surface.

6. When you have finished cooking, unplug your Express Waffle Maker and allow it to cool before moving or cleaning.

Note: Aerosol cooking sprays often coantain additives that can cause nonstick surfaces to become sticky and hard to clean over time. To ensure the longevity of your product, use a spray bottle and a neutral oil (vegetable, canola, etc.) to lubricate cooking surfaces.

Cleaning & Maintenance

In order to keep your Express Waffle Maker in pristine working order, thoroughly clean the appliance after each use. This will prevent the build-up of food or oil.

• Unplug Express Waffle Maker and allow it to cool completely.
• Using a damp, soapy cloth, wipe down the Cooking Surface and Cover. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again.
• Thoroughly dry Express Waffle Maker before storing.
• If food is burned onto the Cooking Surface, pour on a small amount of cooking oil and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Scrub the Surface with a sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the Cooking Surface. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. If any food remains, distribute another small amount of cooking oil and let sit for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.

Troubleshooting

While Dash products are durable, you may encounter one or more of the problems listed below. If the issue is either not solved by the solutions recommended below or not included on this page, please contact our Customer Support Team at 1-800-898-6970 or support@storebound.com.

The light on the Express Waffle Maker keeps shutting off.

• This is normal. During the cooking process, the heating element will automatically turn on and off to regulate the temperature and ensure that the Cooking Surface does not get too hot or cold. When this occurs, the Indicator Light turns on and off.

How do I know when the Express Waffle Maker is heated and ready to use?

• When the Express Waffle Maker reaches the optimal temperature, the Indicator Light shuts off and that means you’re ready to get cooking!

There is no On/Off Button. How do I turn the Express Waffle Maker off and on?

• To turn on, simply plug in the power cord. When you’re done cooking, turn off the Express Waffle Maker by unplugging it.

When using my Express Waffle Maker, the Cover gets very hot. Is this normal?

• Yes, this is completely normal. When using your Express Waffle Maker, always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle, to prevent personal injury, DO NOT lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is hot and may cause injury. Lift from the side.

After using my Express Waffle Maker a few times, food is starting to stick to the surface. What is happening?

• There is probably a build-up of burnt food residue on the Cooking Surface. This is normal, especially when cooking with sugar. Allow the appliance to cool fully, pour on a small amount of cooking oil and let sit for 5–10 minutes. Scrub Surface with a sponge or soft bristled brush to dislodge food. Use a damp, soapy cloth to wipe down the Cooking Surface. Rinse the cloth and wipe again. If food remains, distribute more cooking oil and let sit for a few hours, then scrub and wipe clean.

The Indicator Light will not turn on and the Cooking Surface is failing to heat.

• Ensure that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.

• Check to make sure the power outlet is operating correctly.

• Determine if a power failure has occurred in your home, apartment or building.

DIRECTIONS:
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just incorporated.
Grease the Waffle Maker with butter or coat with a light coat of cooking spray. Pour ¼ cup of the batter into the Waffle Maker and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Chocolate Waffles

1 tbsp baking powder
¾ cup milk
½ tsp salt
½ cup cold butter, cut into small chunks
pepperoni and shredded mozzarella cheese (or preferred fillings)

DIRECTIONS:

Roll your dough out on a floured surface so that it is ½ inch thick. Cut out as many 3 inch circles as possible. Alternatively, you can use premade biscuit dough instead of making dough from scratch. Slice each premade biscuit in half so that they are about ½ thick and then proceed with directions.
Cut dough circles horizontally just enough so that you can stuff the biscuit with the pepperoni and mozzarella. After you have put in your fillings, seal the biscuit by pinching the edges of the dough. Cook them in the Waffle Maker until golden and crispy. Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
