BEFORE FIRST USE
- These Waring® Commercial Waffle Maker plates are triple-coated with Whitford® nonstick coating.* Before the first use, we suggest you season the waffle grids by preheating and then brushing them with cooking oil. Wipe with a paper towel or pastry brush.
- Remove any dust from shipping by wiping the plates with a damp cloth. Remove all protective paper and wrapping.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
-
Plug cord into a wall outlet.
-
Switch the toggle switch to the ON position. The RED light will illuminate to signal power.
-
Preheat your Waring® Commercial Waffle Maker on setting #4 or your preferred setting. It will now begin the preheating process.
This should take about 4 minutes. The machine will sound 6 beeps and the GREEN indicator light will go on to signal the unit is ready for baking. Season the waffle grids by spraying with cooking spray or brushing with flavorless oil.
For initial use, it is important that the waffle maker is preheated before seasoning with cooking spray or oil.
NOTE: The first time you use your waffle maker, it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to heating appliances. -
Choose a setting on the browning control dial. For golden brown waffles, we recommend using setting #4. When the waffle is completely baked, the waffle maker will sound 3 beeps. Baking time is determined by the browning level chosen.
-
Fill measuring scoop with batter to fill line. Pour batter evenly into the center of the waffle grid. For mini Belgian units, pour 1 oz. of batter into each waffle mold. Use a heatproof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grid. Close the lid and rotate the unit 180°.
-
Once the waffle is ready and the waffle maker has beeped 3 times, rotate the waffle maker 180°, open the lid and remove the waffle by gently loosening the edges with a heatproof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the nonstick coating.
-
For double waffle makers, multiple waffles can be baked at one time. For one waffle, simply follow previous instructions.
For more than one waffle at once, pour batter into the top waffle compartment, then rotate 180˚. You will now be able to open the other waffle compartment. Pour the batter in the grids and rotate another 180˚ in the other direction.
Both waffles will now cook. There are individual green READY lights that will illuminate when each waffle is baked, and when an empty compartment is ready to bake another waffle.

THE MACHINE COOL FOR 10 MINUTES, PLUGIN AND CONTINUE USE.

WAFFLE PLATE CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Clean daily and diligently; doing so will ensure that your waffle maker works properly and continues to work well over time.
How to Clean Waffle Plates
Once you have finished baking each day, turn the switch to the OFF position
and remove the plug from the electrical outlet. Leave the top lid open and
allow plates to cool before cleaning. Be certain plates have cooled
completely before cleaning Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning.
Brush crumbs from grooves and absorbs any excess cooking oil by wiping with a
dry cloth or paper towel. You may clean the plates by wiping them with a damp
cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup. If batter
adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked batter and
let stand for approximately 5 minutes. This will allow the batter to soften
and will make it easier to remove.
To help remove oil buildup and batter residue, place a damp paper towel in
between the waffle plates and close the lid. Allow sitting for a few minutes.
To clean the 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.

Although removable, these plates are not intended to be removed for routine
cleaning. Plates are ONLY meant to be removed if there is a scratch on the
nonstick coating and you need to replace the plate.
