Operation
Baking waffles
- Close the plates. Then connect the appliance to the mains power supply. (If necessary, the batter collection tray can be laid on the base to catch any dripping batter.)Note: It may be necessary to slightly grease the plates with cooking oil before baking depending on the foodstuff.
- Turning on: Set the power switch to I position.
- Set the thermostat to the desired temperature. The HEAT indicator light turns on.
- When the set temperature is reached, the HEAT indicator light turns Off. (Note: During use, the HEAT indicator light keeps on and off, indicating the set temperature is being kept.)
- Lift the upper plate and pour the waffle batter on the bottom plate. Then close the upper plate.
- Turn both plates clockwise 180 degrees using the handles until locked into place again. This ensures even spreading of the batter on both plates.
- Set the timer dial to the desired baking time.
- When the cooking time expires, the appliance gives an audible beep.
- Turn the appliance to its original position and lift the upper plate. Remove the baked waffles with a heat-proof wooden/plastic spatula.
- After use: Set the thermostat to MIN and power switch to O. Then disconnect from the power supply.
Tips for baking waffles
- Do not pour too much batter as excess batter might drip out of the plates during baking.
- Ideal baking time depends on many factors, like batter amount, batter thickness, ingredients, etc.
- The Browning level also depends on many factors, like batter ingredients, baking time, room temperature, etc. Sugary batter, for example, will turn brownish faster.
- Avoid opening the plate repeatedly during baking, otherwise, the waffles may stick on the plates or not bake at all.
