3 Close waffle maker and rotate unit 180º to the left

(counterclockwise). Do not open for at least 1

1

2

minutes.

Opening the lid too soon will cause under-baked waffles to

split, making them difficult to remove.

4 When the green light goes on again, rotate waffle maker 180º

to the right (clockwise). Your waffles should be done. If you

want them darker, close the lid and continue baking until the

desired color is achieved.

5 Remove waffles from the grid using non-metallic utensils.
6 If additional baking is to be done, close waffle maker to

retain heat. Always be sure the green light goes on again

before making more waffles.

7 If you need to take a short break, close waffle maker to

maintain heat. When you return to baking, you will notice

that the first waffles will bake faster because extra heat has

been allowed to build up.

8 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being

used by or near children.

9 When baking is complete, simply unplug the power cord

from wall outlet. Leave waffle maker open to cool. Do not

clean until unit has cooled.

Waffle Baking Tips

1 Cooking times may vary. Depending on your taste

preference, leave the waffle in longer for darker, crispier

waffles or shorter for light and fluffy waffles. Different waffle

batters will also cook up differently.

2 When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will

be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients

disappear.

3 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 bottom grid

of waffle maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of

the grid.

4 For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to

outer edge of grid, using a heat proof rubber spatula or

other non-metallic utensil before closing lid.

5 Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more

tender than regular waffles, and may require more care

when removing from waffle maker. You may want to break

these waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use

a spatula to support waffles when removing from the

waffle maker.

6 To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling

rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.

7 When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles

hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F

oven until ready to serve.

8 Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack.

Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container,

separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles

in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
