9. When finished baking, be certain to unplug the WafflePro

. Only then is the power to the
waffle maker switched off.
MAKING WAFFLES WITH UNIFORM TEXTURE
Waffles made with the “Uniform Texture” baking cycle will be evenly baked throughout their
thickness. They will have a crunchy and drier texture. The amount of moisture retention will
depend on the color control setting.Generally the color control setting will be lower and the bak-
ing time will be about twice that expected with the “Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior” setting.
1. Depress the lower portion of the black circular rocker switch marked “Uniform Texture”. Set
the color control dial to 3
1
⁄2 for the first waffle.
2. Pour or ladle about
1
⁄2 level cup of batter from a ladle or pitcher in the middle of the lower waf-
fle grid. A thicker batter, thin enough to just pour slowly works best. Do not overfill the grid.
3. Close the lid immediately after adding the batter so that the lid will level out the batter.
A special hinge at the rear adjusts automatically to ensure a uniform thickness of the waffle.
4. The red light will come on indicating the waffle is baking.
5. When the waffle is ready the red light goes off, the green light comes on, and the beeper
sounds briefly.
6. Lift the lid and inspect the waffle. If you want a slightly browner waffle, close the lid and
cook for another 20 seconds or so.
7. When the color is right, remove waffle with a plastic spatula or fork. As needed increase or
decrease the color control for the next cycle. Once you establish the optimum color setting,
it will not require any change in the future unless you alter the waffle recipe or switch to
“Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior.”
8. Add batter for the next waffle or close lid until you are again ready to bake.The green light
will remain on until WafflePro
®
cools slightly. Then the red light will alternately come on to
keep the grids hot until you are ready for the next waffle.
9. When finished baking, be certain to unplug the WafflePro
®
. Only then is the power to the
waffle maker switched off.
Always
unplug theWafflePro
®
immediately after use.Never leave it unattended when plugged in.
Children should not be allowed to use a waffle maker except in the presence of an attentive adult.
TheWafflePro

cools faster when its lid is left fully open.Store only when cold.Save shelf space
by storing the WafflePro

upright resting on its hinged flat end.
WAFFLE BASICS
Superb waffles begin with a good recipe but depend on a versatile waffle maker to fully develop
the flavor, texture and aroma of the batter.A perfect waffle is no accident. It is the combination
of a brownish crisp exterior and an interior texture baked the way you like it. Some of us pre-
fer a waffle with a moist interior like freshly baked bread. Such a waffle has the greatest flavor
and aroma. Others want a uniformly crunchy waffle, one that is baked slowly with less interior
moisture. You may like to bake breakfast waffles that are crisp on the outside and fluffy inside
but you may want a chocolate dessert waffle, destined to be served with a scoop of ice cream,
that is crunchy throughout.
The WafflePro
®
incorporates the unique Quad
®
baking system to ensure a waffle baked the
way you prefer. You select either a fast bake or a deep bake. Then you select a color control
6
in. Set the color control wheel to 4.When the heat-up period is complete the red light will go off,
the “Ready” light will come on and the beeper will briefly sound to remind you the grid is up to
temperature and ready for you to begin baking.When the green light comes on the heaters are
deactivated until the grids cool slightly below the baking temperature.
Keep hands away from the hot stainless cover and grid surfaces. Touch only the plastic parts
and handle provided.
SELECT THE TASTE/TEXTURE – WHICH IS JUST RIGHT FOR YOU
The versatile Quad
®
Baking System, unique to the WafflePro
®
, lets you control the baking con-
dition best suited to your taste and allows you to vary and modify the taste, texture and aroma
of the waffles any time you wish. By adjusting the batter you can further widen the flavors and
textures available. You can find the perfect combination for each recipe and for any of your
favorite toppings. Caution - Do not rely on the age-old notion that the waffle is done when the
waffle maker stops steaming. Because of the unique Quad
®
Baking System, the waffle may be
ready to serve while theWafflePro
®
is still steaming.Learn to rely on the green light and beeper
and vary the settings to your taste.
MAKING WAFFLES WITH CRISP EXTERIOR/MOIST INTERIOR
Wafflesmade withtheCrisp Exterior/Moist Interiorsettingwillretain more of the freshly–bakedaroma
and flavor.The degree of exterior crispness will depend on the recipe and the color control setting.
1. Depress the upper portion of the black circular rocker switch marked “Crisp Exterior/Moist
Interior.” Set the color control to 4 for the first waffle.
2. Pour or ladle about
1
⁄2 cup of batter from a ladle or pitcher in the middle of the lower waffle
grid.A thicker batter,thin enough to just pour slowly works best.Avoid putting too much bat-
ter on grid as that will cause an overflow and increase clean up time. Too little batter will
not fill the grid and heating will be uneven.
3. Close the lid immediately after adding batter so as to spread out the batter uniformly. Press
down lightly on the lid handle for several seconds in order to help level the batter.A special
hinge at the rear of lid adjusts automatically to ensure a uniform thickness of the waffle.
4. The red light will come on indicating the waffle is baking.This means the heater is powered
to continue the cooking process.
5. When the waffle is ready, the green light comes on, the red light goes off and the beeper
sounds briefly.
6. Lift the lid slightly and inspect the waffle color. If necessary, close the lid and continue heat-
ing a little longer until desired color is obtained. On the next baking cycle adjust the color
control wheel as necessary to obtain a better setting. Movement to a higher number will
darken the waffle. Commonly the necessary adjustment is less than one whole number.
7. When the waffle is done, remove it by lifting one edge with a heat-resistant plastic fork or
spatula. (If you use a metal fork, use care not to contact grid surfaces as that might scratch
the non-stick surface and decrease its effectiveness.)
8. After removal of waffle, the WafflePro
®
can be immediately refilled with batter or it can be
closed until you are ready to bake again. If you do not start another waffle immediately the
green light will stay on until the grids cool slightly,then the red light will come on briefly indi-
cating the grids are being reheated to maintain readiness for the next use. When the green
light comes on again the next waffle can be poured and baked.
