FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: Why does the heating light on the Mini Waffle Maker keep going off?
Answer: This is normal. During cooking, the heating element will automatically turn on and off to regulate the temperature and ensure that the hotplates are not too hot or cold. This makes the heating light turn on and off.

Question: When is the Mini Waffle Maker heated and ready to use?
Answer: The heating light will turn off when your Mini Waffle Maker is heated and ready to use.

Question: Why are ingredients escaping through the sides of the Mini Waffle Maker?
Answer: The hotplates may not be fully heated, or the Mini Waffle Maker may be too full. Wait for the heating light to go out before adding food to the hotplates, and reduce the amount of ingredients.

Question: Why hasn’t all the food warmed through?
Answer: There may be too many ingredients. Reduce the amount of food to let it cook more evenly. Never try to cook frozen food, and remember that chilled food may need longer cooking.

Answer: There is no on/off switch, simply plug into a socket and switch on. When you have finished cooking, turn off the Mini Waffle Maker by switching off at the socket and unplugging.
