Starting-Up the Appliance
Electrical Connection
Check whether the mains voltage that you want to use matches the one of the
appliance. You will find the information about this on the type plate.
Non-Stick Coating
Before you prepare the first waffles for consumption:
-
Clean the housing and the baking surfaces with a damp cloth.
-
Lightly grease the baking surfaces before the appliance is used for the first time.
-
Use the appliance for about 10 minutes with the toasting surfaces closed (see “Using the Appliance”).
(i) NOTE:
• Any smoke or smells produced during this procedure are normal. Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not eat the waffles prepared during first time operation. -
Remove the mains plug from the socket and allow the appliance to cool down.
-
After the appliance has cooled down, wipe the baking surfaces off with a paper towel.
Using the Appliance
CAUTION: Do not use pointed or sharp objects to avoid damaging the coating of the baking surfaces.
(i) NOTE:
- Keep the baking surfaces closed while heating.
- After heating up the appliance, the green control lamp will turn off.
- The red control lamp remains on to show that the appliance is working.
- The green control lamp switches on and off during baking in order to maintain the baking temperature.
- The baking section should always be closed in the intervals between baking.
(i)NOTE:
- Make sure the power cord does not become twisted with the repeated turning of the appliance. For this reason, always turn the appliance once to the right and once to the left.
-
Set up the appliance so that you can see both indicator lights.
-
Connect the appliance to a properly installed earthed socket. Both indicator lights are lit. The appliance will begin heating up immediately.
-
Once the appliance has heated up, open the baking surfaces using the handle.
-
For best results, use a pastry brush to spread some shortening on both baking surfaces. Alternatively, spray the baking surface lightly with edible cooking oil. This will make it easier to remove the waffles once they have finished baking.
-
Add some dough to the middle of the lower baking surface. Spread the dough using a silicone spoon, for example.
NOTE:
• The recesses in the baking surface should be filled, but the outer edge should remain clear.
• The dough should be filled in quickly as otherwise the wafers will not brown evenly. -
Close the appliance. In order to spread the dough evenly, we recommend immediately turning the appliance around 180 ° degrees. Grasp the appliance by the handle as you do this.
Now, you will only see the green indicator light on the appliance.
-
WARNING: Be careful of the emitted steam. Risk of burns!
(i) NOTE:
• The baking process lasts approx. 3 minutes. This may vary depending on the consistency of the mixture.
(i)NOTE:
• If your waffles come out too dark, shorten the baking time the next time.
Remove the ready-to-eat waffles with a wooden fork or similar. -
Place the waffle on a platter or plate and sprinkle some icing sugar on top of it.
-
Lightly grease the baking surfaces again as required after each baking process.
End of Operation
Remove the mains plug from the socket. The red control lamp goes off.
