WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that shown on the rating plate of an electrical appliance before you use it.
Check that the socket to which you connect the electrical appliance is earthed.
Always install electrical appliances on a stable and level surface where it cannot fall over.
Certain parts of an electrical appliance may become warm or sometimes hot. Do not touch them as you may burn yourself.
Make sure your hands are dry when you touch an electrical appliance, a cord or a plug.
Electrical appliances must be able to lose their heat to avoid fire hazards. Therefore, make sure that the appliance has sufficient clearance around it and that it does not come into contact with flammable materials. Electrical appliances must never be covered.
Make sure that electrical appliances, cords or plugs do not come into contact with water.
Never immerse electrical appliances, cords or plugs in water or any other liquid.
Do not touch electrical appliances if they have fallen in the water. Immediately pull the plug out of the socket. Stop using the appliance.
Make sure that electrical appliances, cords and plugs do not come into contact with heat sources, such as a hot hob or open fire.
Never let cords hang over the edge of the sink, a worktop or a table.
Always remove plug from the socket when you are not using the electrical appliance.
Remove the plug from the socket by pulling the plug itself and not the cord.
Regularly check if the cord of the electrical appliance is not damaged. Do not use the electrical appliance if the cord shows signs of damage. If the cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, a technical service provider or a person with an equivalent qualification, to avoid any danger.
The appliance may not be switched on with the aid of an external time switch, or by a separate system with remote control.

First use

Remove all packaging.
Clean the baking plates to remove any residues from the manufacturing process (see “Cleaning and maintenance”). Dry them thoroughly.
Put the plug into the wall socket and allow the waffle maker to heat up. This will take about 10 minutes. Allowing it to heat will remove any packaging odour from the appliance.

WARNING:

The appliance may emit a little smoke and a characteristic smell when you switch it on for the first time. This is normal, and will soon stop. Make sure there is sufficient ventilation in the room.
Keep house birds away from the appliance when it is in use. Fumes released from the non-stick coating when the baking plates are hot may be harmful to birds.

Preparations

Place the appliance on a level, stable and heat-resistant surface.
Close the lid.
Put the plug in the wall socket. The “Power” and “Ready” indicator lights will illuminate.
Turn the temperature control dial to the required setting. The required temperature has been reached once the “Ready” indicator light extinguishes.

Baking waffles

Prepare the waffle batter according to recipe.
Preheat the appliance as explained in ‘Preparations’.
Grease both baking plates. Use a brush to spread the oil or butter over the surface.
Pour the required amount of batter onto the bottom baking plate. Make sure no batter is spilt over the edge of the baking plate.
Close the lid and bake the waffles to the required colour. Waffles usually take between 3 to 5 minutes to prepare. The actual time depends on the batter you use and your personal preference. Leave the appliance closed whilst baking the waffles, because opening it may affect the appearance of the waffles.
Open the appliance once the waffles are ready.
Carefully remove the waffles with a heat-resistant wooden or plastic spatula. Take care not to damage the non-stick coating.
WARNING:
- The waffles are hot.
- Never use a metal spatula, knife or fork. These will damage the non-stick coating.
Once you have finished baking waffles, remove the plug from the wall socket and open the appliance to allow the baking plates to cool down.
