Operating Your Waffle Maker

Before First Use

• Remove all packaging.
• Clean the cooking plates by wiping them with a sponge or cloth dampened in warm water.
• DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT AND DO NOT RUN WATER DIRECTLY ONTO THE COOKING SURFACE.
• Dry with a cloth or paper towel.
• Lightly coat the cooking plates with a little cooking oil or a cooking spray.
• Unwind the power cord to a desired length and plug it into the outlet.
• NOTE: When your Waffle Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance. However, it may affect the flavor of the first batch of waffles prepared in your waffle maker, and it is recommended that you discard these.

Making Waffles

• Preheat appliance before use by plugging in and closing the lid.
• You will notice that the red power light and green ready light will both go on, indicating that the waffle maker has begun preheating.
• It will take approximately 3-5 minutes to reach cooking temperature.
• When the green light goes off, the waffle maker is ready for use. The red power light will remain on until you unplug your waffle maker.
• At first, try a setting in the middle. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference. Different waffle batters will also cook differently.
• Before cooking the first waffles of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top and bottom cooking plates with cooking oil. A light coating of nonstick cooking spray also works well.
• Open the appliance by lifting the handle and pour batter to fill the base cooking plate. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter into the corners of the grid. At this point, the green light will go on as the baking cycle begins.
• Close the lid and do not open for at least 1½ minutes. Opening the lid too soon will cause undercooked waffles to split, making them difficult to remove.
• When the green light goes off again, the waffles should be done according to your chosen setting. If you want darker waffles, close the lid again and continue cooking until your desired color is achieved.
• Once the waffles are cooked, carefully remove them with a non-metallic utensil. Never touch cooking plates with sharp, pointy, or metal objects. This could damage the nonstick surface.
• To cook more waffles, close the lid to retain heat. Always be sure the green light has gone off again before making more waffles.
• Once you are finished cooking all your waffles, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and leave the appliance open to cool.

Helpful Tips

• Do not over-mix batter or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
• The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge how much batter to use each time.
• Fill the bottom cooking plate with enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid – about ¾ to 1 cup.
• For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to the outer edge of the grid using a heat-proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before closing the lid.
• To retain crispness, let cooked waffles cool on a wire rack to prevent steam from accumulating and condensing underneath.
• When serving several waffles at once, keep waffles hot and crisp by placing them on a rack in a preheated 90°C oven until ready to serve.
• Already cooled waffles can be rewarmed and re-crisped individually by returning them to the preheated waffle maker. Set the temperature control dial to low. Place each waffle on both plates so the grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
• Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store waffles in a plastic freezer bag or in a covered container, separating each waffle with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster oven until hot and crisp.

Cleaning and Care

• Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning. There is no need to disassemble the waffle maker for cleaning.
• Never immerse the waffle maker in water or place it in the dishwasher.
• Brush away any loose crumbs from grids. Wipe grids clean with a paper towel, absorbing any oil or butter that might be stuck in the grooves of the cooking plates. You can also wipe grids with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the nonstick coating.
• Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only. Do not clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish. A little metal polish suitable for stainless steel may be used occasionally on top of the lid. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
• Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil onto the hardened batter. Let sit for 5 minutes to soften the batter, then wipe off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
• Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles, they can damage the non-stick surface.

Storage

• Always unplug the appliance before storage.
• Always make sure the appliance is cool and dry before storing.
• Make sure the power cord is safely winched back into the appliance before storing it.
