An Introduction to your Sunbeam Shade Select Vertical Waffle Maker

Now you and the whole family can make golden brown, fluffy waffles at home, using your choice of delicious and imaginative fillings & toppings.
Prepare waffles for breakfast or brunch and pile them high with fresh fruits, whipped cream, or just plain butter and warmed syrup.
With your Sunbeam Shade Select Vertical Waffle Maker, the unique upright pouring funnel helps to prevent messy overflow, giving you the perfect fill for perfect waffles every time! Plus, the non-stick grids make clean up easy. It’s a great addition to any kitchen.

Before using your Sunbeam Shade Select Vertical Waffle Maker

1. Open the unit by pressing the side button on the handle and allowing the front waffle plate to come forward.

2. Clean cooking plates with cloth or sponge, dampened with hot, soapy water.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the unit in water. Rinse with dampened cloth or sponge and wipe dry.
3. Season the grid plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil onto the surface and rubbing it with a paper towel. Alternatively, add oil to a paper towel and rub it over the grid plates. After this initial seasoning, there is no need to season the plates after each use.
Note: When using your Sunbeam Shade Select Vertical Waffle Maker for the first time, you may notice a fine smoke haze being emitted. This is normal and is due to the initial heating of the internal components.

Preparing Waffles

1.  Close the unit and plug it into an outlet.

CAUTION: During use or after use do not touch the pouring funnel at the top of the unit as it will be hot.
Touch the unit at the side handle or the control panel only during use or directly after use. Cooking Tip: Select a darker shade when cooking heavier and more dense batters.
2. Use the Shade Select dial to select your desired waffle texture. The screen will display the words “Preheating” whilst it is increasing its temperature. The Waffle Maker will beep once it has reached the correct temperature and the screen will display “Ready to cook”.3. Fill the measuring cup up to the very top with waffle batter and pour into the pouring funnel. Use a spatula to ensure all batter is poured into the unit. Users should be advised to use caution when pouring batter into the unit as the top of the pouring funnel is very hot.
CAUTION: Do not add more scoops of batter. This will result in overflow and give uneven results.

4. The control panel will count down the time you have left to wait until your waffles are ready.
5. When the timer is done, it will beep and display “Cooking Complete” on the display panel. This indicates that the waffles are done. Press the release button on the side handle to open the front waffle plate.
CAUTION : The pouring funnel is extremely hot!
6. Close the unit and wait for the Pre-Heating indication to come on before preparing another waffle.
Note: Opening the Waffle Maker before waffles are finished cooking will cause waffle batter to separate, resulting in torn waffles.

Hints For Tasty Waffles

•  Select a darker shade when cooking heavier and more dense batters.
•  Do not over-mix waffle batter. Beating egg whites separately and folding them gently into the batter will create a lighter, crispier waffle.
• Setting No.1 will produce the fluffiest and lightest color waffles. Setting 5 will produce the crispier darker color waffles. Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle color for you. We recommend setting No. 3 for golden brown waffles.
• Don’t open the Waffle Maker while steam is escaping from the sides and front of the unit.
•  We recommend using the provided measuring cup. Depending on the thickness of the batter, you may be using between ¾ and 1 cup of batter per waffle.
• Do not overfill the waffle maker – it should not be filled to the top of the funnel. Always fill the measuring scoop full to the top. Do not add more butter to the waffle maker.
•  Thicker batters should be added a bit more carefully, being sure that the batter in the funnel drips into the grid plate before adding more.
•  Batters should be whisked well to be sure there are no lumps. If the batter is not flowing easily through the funnel, it is too thick. Either whisk to a smoother batter or add additional liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Why not freeze prepared waffles for those busy days ahead? Just bake the waffles as directed. Cool on a wire rack and wrap in moisture-proof paper or plastic. Quickly reheat in our oven or microwave.

Care And Cleaning

Always unplug your Shade Select Vertical Waffle Maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning it. NEVER immerse the MAIN body, power cord, or plug in water or any other liquid. To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild detergent.

• Carefully wipe off oil after each batch of waffles, prior to making the next batch. This will improve the cooking quality and prevent excess oil. The waffle batter should be poured with the included measuring cup for the perfect fill.
•  Always use a plastic utensil to lift the waffles from the waffle maker.
•  Do not use metal utensils as these will scratch the non-stick surface.

To clean after use
Always turn the power OFF and remove the plug before cleaning.
Do not immerse the Waffle Maker in water or any other liquid.
Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as they will scratch the non-stick grid plates and the exterior surface.
To clean the non-stick grid plates Wipe over the plates with a dampened cloth. To clean the exterior Wipe over with a dampened cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.

To clean cooked-on stains

Should your waffle maker require additional  cleaning of stubborn build up and stains, the following cleaning method is recommended:
1. Combine 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate or baking soda with water to make a paste.
2. Turn the power OFF and remove the plug. Ensure the cooking plates are cool.
3. Using a damp cloth, wipe the mixture on the cooking plates to remove all residue.
4. Before using the waffle maker again, re-season the non-stick surface by applying a little oil, and wiping clean
with a paper towel. This appliance has no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond that described in the Cleaning Section should be performed by an Authorised Service Representative only. See Warranty Section.
