4. Make sure the appliance is ready-to-operate and the green indicator light is illuminated

before pouring the dough onto the heating plate.
Note: It is normal that a slight burnt smell occurs during the first operation (see: ›before first use‹).

WarNING!

Pouring dough onto the preheated heating plates dough or grease might spurt

out. Keep enough distance to the appliance during operation and do not touch the hot exterior

or heating plates of the waffle maker. For opening the lid use the handle only.
5. Pour dough evenly into the centre of the waffle grids. Use a heat-proof spatula (no metal

cooking cutlery!) to spread the dough evenly over the grids. Close the lid. Pay attention not

touch the hot exterior of the appliance. Shortly after having filled in the dough the green con-

trol lamp turns off. The red control lamp lights up.
6. The baking time is in general 3 – 5 minutes, depending on the nature of the dough as well

as the selected temperature. Choose your preferred setting on the temperature control. Check

the level of browning. Should the waffle be too light or too dark, adjust the temperature control

or baking time. Once the baking process is finished, the red control lamp turns out, and the

green one lights up again. Remove the waffle immediately. To prevent damage to the non-stick

coating, do not use any sharp or pointed objects to remove the food.
7. Once the waffle is ready, open the lid and remove waffle by gently loosening the edges

with a heat-proof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the non-stick

coating.
8. Place fresh dough into the waffle maker immediately after removing the waffle.
9. After use, remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appliance to cool down with

its cooking plates open.

aTTeNTION! Never cut or scratch on the heating plates with sharp-edged cutlery. This would

harm the non-stick coating. Removing the waffle from the heating plates you can refill the hea-

ting plates. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet once baking has been completed.

Tips for making perfect waffles

To measure flour, stir the flour first to aerate it, since it settles when it sits. Then spoon it into a

measuring cup, levelling off the top with the back of a knife – do not pack down into measu-

ring cup. These quick steps will help you to avoid heavy waffles.

For best results: For loose dough, fill to the

mark (for thicker dough, fill to the top) or enough

to fill the entire lower grid. Pour dough evenly into the centre of the waffle grids.
Note: Do not cover the heating plates with too much dough. If the dough has baking agents

(such as soda, bakingpowder or yeast) the dough will leak out of the sides of the waffle maker.

Use a heat-proof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids.
Belgian waffles taste best when made to order, but baked Belgian waffles may be kept warm

in a 100 degree oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. (Waffles wrap-

ped in foil may lose their crispness.)
Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely, and then place in plastic food storage

bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in an oven, toaster or toaster oven

when ready to use and serve the waffles warm.
