OPERATION
• After use, remove the power plug (3) from the wall outlet. The power indicator (1)
goes off.
• Note: The power indicator (1) stays lit continuously until the power plug (3) is
disconnected from the wall outlet.
• Let the waffle maker cool completely before cleaning and storing.
Tips for making waffles
• Most waffle batter can be poured directly onto the non-stick waffle plates (7, 8).
Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles or any recipe with a lot of sugar.
• The ideal baking time for a whole baking cycle depends on many factors, e. g. the
amount of batter used (
1 ⁄
2
cup to 3 ⁄
4
cup), thickness of batter used, ingredients, etc.
• Most waffles are done in about 2 to 3 minutes. If the upper cover (9) is not easily
lifted up, let the waffle maker run 1 more minute before checking the browning
level.
• Avoid opening the upper cover (9) repeatedly during baking, otherwise the waffles
will stick on the waffle plates (7, 8); or they might not be baked at all.
• The ideal browning level will depend on your taste, batter ingredients, baking time,
and room temperature as well. Sugary batter, for example, will turn brownish
quicker. Please try several times to find your favorite setting.
• Waffles can be made ahead of time and stored for future use. Before storing, let
them cool completely and then pack in an airtight container. Store in refrigerator or
freezer. When enjoying later, just reheat them in a microwave oven, a toaster oven,
or a regular oven.
