10.4.1 Initial start-up of devices with uncoated interchangeable cast plates Uncoated exchangeable plates are made of uncoated cast iron in the standard versions. There are special versions that are made of uncoated aluminium (see under 2. Technical data). These are handled in the same way as devices with uncoated cast iron interchangeable plates.
Uncoated interchangeable plates must be baked before baking waffles for the first time. This closes the mould pores and creates a kind of natural non- stick effect due to the patina. To do this, place the appliance in a well- ventilated room, as there will be a lot of smoke and odours during the process. This is completely normal the first time the device is put into operation with new cast iron plates.
The interchangeable plate becomes very hot during operation. Never touch it and never lean on it. DANGER OF BURNING (ONLY change the removable disc when it is cold)
Leave the waffle iron open and running at a temperature of 200°C for 2 hours. During this time, spray the interchangeable plates generously 6-8 times at intervals of approx. 15 minutes with our Trennback 100 or Trennfix release grease. Avoid the formation of puddles on the interchangeable plate.
Set yourself an alarm clock as a reminder to keep to the intervals.
An increasing brown colouring of the interchangeable plates indicates that the natural patina with non-stick effect is slowly building up. After approx. 2 hours, a uniform brown colouring of the interchangeable plates is achieved.
Now bake 3-4 waffles to remove the last traces of fat from the baked layer. These waffles should not be eaten. For other baking moulds, throw away the first two pieces of food.
Uncoated interchangeable plates only need to be baked in again before first use and after basic cleaning, during which the patina with “natural non-stick effect” has been removed.

10.4.2 Initial start-up of devices with non-stick coated interchangeable plates Non-stick coated interchangeable plates are made of non-stick coated aluminium in the standard versions. There are special versions that are made of non-stick coated cast iron. These are handled in the same way as devices with non-stick coated aluminium plates. After heating up for the first time, please clean the interchangeable plates with a soft, damp cotton cloth; to protect the coating, do not use any pointed or sharp objects. In contrast to uncoated interchangeable plates, interchangeable plates with non-stick coating do not need to be baked in.
The interchangeable plate has a non-stick coating. Avoid using pointed or sharp objects to remove baked goods, food or baking residues from the plate. Use a soft, damp cotton cloth and remove any residue immediately.
The interchangeable plate becomes very hot during operation. Never touch it and never lean on it. DANGER OF BURNING (ONLY change the removable disc when it is cold)
10.5 Operate Once you have prepared the device, select the desired temperature and set the timer to the desired time (description, section 10.3). Most waffles are baked at approx. 180°C to 200°C, depending on the batter and desired browning. The baking time depends primarily on the thickness of the waffle. Thin waffles require a baking time of around 1 minute, while thicker waffles can take around 3 minutes. To achieve a perfect result, which varies depending on the batter and waffle shape, please test bake.
Once you have set the temperature, the control indicator lights up and the device starts to heat up. When the control indicator goes out, the device is heated up and you can start baking.
Pour the batter into the lower baking tin, close the baking tin. Finish the baking process. After baking, open the iron and remove the finished waffle.

The following table gives you information on which removable plates can be used with which temperature and time:
Use precise doses of dough quantities, otherwise the excess liquid dough will be squeezed out of the sides and stain the device. We recommend our optional dough collecting tray. During the baking process, steam vapours escape, which can cause burns if they come into close contact with the device. Therefore, only open and close the device by the handle. Only use tools such as long forks or waffle tongs to remove the finished baked goods. Do not touch the hot plates with bare hands.
The device becomes very hot during operation, do not touch the hot surfaces of the device.
Only open the device by the handle and make sure that the heatinsulated bonnet is fully open and does not fall shut unintentionally (risk of crushing).
Always leave the Thermocook open when not in use and when not hot. Even after baking, baking residues will still burn on the hot interchangeable plates. When closed, the resulting gases cannot escape and form a layer of soot on the baking tray. This prevents the non-stick effect of the baking tray and can cause the baking trays to start sticking! We recommend either leaving the interchangeable plates completely open or placing a wooden spacer or heat- resistant material between the interchangeable plates. Always remove baking residues immediately with a suitable brush.
Fill the dough or the food blank into the centre of the lower interchangeable plate. Ensure the correct amount of dough or portion size, otherwise the dough will run out of the baking tin and soil the device and the surrounding area. When cooking fatty foods, cover the surrounding area accordingly so that splashes of fat are caught.
Close the device carefully. Now press the button and the timer starts counting down the preset time.
RISK OF BURNS! Water vapours escape during the baking process, do not place your hands near the gaps in the interchangeable plates.
After the timer has elapsed, a signal sounds and the waffle is ready. So nothing can burn.

Do not remove the hot waffle with your fingers. Remove the baking residue immediately with a damp cotton cloth, heat-resistant brush, suitable brush or wooden tool.
Crumbs, excess fat and other residues should be removed from the interchangeable plates after each baking process. If these remain on the removable plate, they can burn in and prevent the non-stick effect of the removable plate. This can cause the interchangeable plates to start sticking!
10.5.1 Handling devices with uncoated interchangeable plates Addition to 10.5: Before baking the first waffle or after baking breaks, spray the interchangeable plates thinly and evenly with our Trennback 100 release grease. Avoid the formation of puddles on the baking tray. If you notice that the non-stick effect of the baking tray is diminishing, repeat the process. The frequency of this process varies depending on the fat content of the dough used. Avoid excessive spraying, as this leads to increased cleaning effort.
10.5.2 Handling devices with non-stick coated interchangeable plates Addition to 10.5: Before baking the first waffle on the working day or after long baking breaks, spray the interchangeable plates thinly and evenly with our Trennback 100 release grease as required. Depending on the fat content of the dough, it may not be necessary to grease before baking or after baking breaks. If necessary, you can occasionally spray it lightly with our Trennback 100 or Trennfix spray. Never use butter or unsuitable vegetable oils (e.g. olive oil), as these leave residues and have a low combustion point.
Do not remove the waffle with a pointed fork or other sharp or pointed objects. Remove the waffle with a wooden spatula, waffle fork, waffle tongs or wooden stick.
The interchangeable plate has a non-stick coating. Avoid using pointed or sharp objects to remove baked-on food from the plate. Use a soft, damp cotton cloth and remove any residue immediately.
10.6 Cleaning and maintenance Clean the device thoroughly without water after every working day. Before cleaning and maintenance work, disconnect the mains plug from the socket and allow the device to cool down. Leave the patina on uncoated interchangeable plates.
Do not immerse the device in water, make sure that no water gets in, do not put the device in the dishwasher, do not clean the device with a high-pressure cleaner.

Clean the housing with a soft cotton cloth and mild detergent. CAUTION Do not use chemical cleaners.
Disconnect the device from the power supply before carrying out any maintenance work. – Wait until the device has cooled down completely before carrying out any maintenance work. – The bottom panel must be removed before maintenance can be carried out. – In the event of a fault, the device may only be opened and repaired by authorised service technicians. Or it should be returned to the factory. – Clean the housing regularly using a soft cotton cloth with diluted cleaning agent. Clean the housing with a suitable stainless steel cleaner. – Also carry out a protective conductor test every 6 months. – The test intervals should be calculated in such a way that any defects that are likely to occur can be detected in good time.
Check the power supply cable for damage every day. Never use the device if the mains cable is damaged. IMPORTANT. Danger to life.
10.6.1 Cleaning of uncoated interchangeable plates You should always remove coarse soiling immediately after baking with a damp cotton cloth, a stainless steel brush for cast iron, a heat-resistant plastic brush for uncoated aluminium or a wooden spatula. The baking residues must be removed daily after baking with the wire brush while still warm. The accumulated dirt residues can be carefully vacuumed out with a hand hoover or brushed out with a soft brush. Remove the last residues with the first waffles baked the following day. These waffles should not be eaten. Special cleaning agents are available to remove baked-on baking residues from uncoated interchangeable plates. These should only be used when the interchangeable plates have been removed and not when they are fitted. Observe the instructions and the suitability of the cleaning agent. After using cleaning agents, you should bake a few waffles to remove all residues from the interchangeable plates. These waffles should not be consumed. No liability for the use of chemical cleaning agents.
10.6.2 Cleaning of non-stick coated interchangeable plates You should always remove coarse soiling immediately after the baking process with a damp cotton cloth, heat-resistant brush, soft/heat-resistant plastic brush or wooden spatula. Do not use any cleaning agents or sharp objects that could damage the coating.

With non-stick coated interchangeable plates, it is particularly important to remove excess grease and other residues from the interchangeable plates after each baking process, as they cannot be cleaned aggressively with a wire brush or cleaning agents. If these remain on the interchangeable plate, they can burn in and prevent the non-stick effect of the interchangeable plate. This can cause the interchangeable plates to start sticking! Always use soft, heat- resistant brushes or paintbrushes (e.g. made of plastic or horsehair) to clean the interchangeable plates
10.7 Shutdown Clean the device thoroughly to remove all food residues. Check the electrical parts and the power supply cable, replace defective parts if necessary, check that all screws, handle, metal parts and feet are tight. Store the device in a dust-free and dry environment.
Please take attention! In accordance with BGV A3 (formerly VBG4), electrical components may only be replaced by qualified electricians. Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by qualified specialists using original spare parts. Do not carry out any repairs to the device yourself.
10.8 Loosening and fixing the interchangeable plates The Thermocook offers the option of changing the interchangeable plates without the use of tools. Using the 8 knurled screws on the back of the interchangeable plates, the interchangeable plates can be loosened and then removed for cleaning or maintenance.
Only open the device by the handle and make sure that the bonnet is fully open and does not fall shut (risk of crushing).
