OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the toasting surfaces with a wet cloth. In spite of that, we recommend not to eat the first two pairs of waffles.
Waffle making procedure

Insert the plug into a socket. Make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage of the appliance. The power indicator and the “Heat on” indicator will light up.
Close the top lid of the waffle maker (you can prepare your food while it is warming up).
When the green “Heat on” indicator goes off, the waffle maker is ready for use.
Open the top lid of the waffle maker and place the food on the bottom part of the waffle maker.
Your food will be ready in approximately 4 minutes (or longer, depending on your taste).

NOTE:

Do not close the waffle maker by force. A cloud of steam may rise from the toasting surfaces during the toasting process.
Please note that the “Heat on” indicator will go on and off during the toasting process as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature of the waffle maker.
Open the waffle maker and remove the food using a plastic or a wooden spatula. Never use a metal knife as it may damage the non-adhesive coating.
Close the lid in order to keep the surfaces hot for further toasting.
You may prepare another food during the toasting process.
When finished, unplug the appliance.
