FLIP BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER
FOR BEST RESULTS, FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS.
When your waffle maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or
odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety
of your appliance. However, it may affect the flavor of the first set of waffles
prepared in your waffle maker, and it is recommended that you discard these.
PREPARING YOUR FLIP BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER
• Pre-heat the waffle maker by setting the temperature control to the maximum setting.
• Close the waffle maker and plug it into the wall outlet, you will notice that the
red power light will go on, indicating that the waffle maker has begun preheating.
It will take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking temperature. The red
power light will remain on until you unplug your waffle maker. When the green
light goes on, the waffle maker is ready for use.
• Set the Waffle Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting in
the middle. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference.
A lower setting produces a lighter colored waffle, while waffles made at a higher
setting are darker and crisper. Different waffle batters will also cook up differently.
Over time, you will find your perfect setting for the batter you use.
• Before baking the first waffles of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the
top and bottom waffle grids with vegetable oil. A light coating of non-stick
cooking spray also works well.
BAKING
• When the proper baking temperature is reached, the green light will go on.
Once heated up, cycle times will be faster.
• Pour batter onto bottom grid of waffle maker. Ladle just enough batter to
fill lower grid so that the peak area of the grid is covered. If necessary, use
a spatula to spread the batter in to the corners of the grid. At this point the
green light will go off as the baking cycle begins.
• Close waffle maker and rotate unit 180º to the right (clockwise). 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.
• When the green light goes on again, rotate waffle maker 180º to the left
(counterclockwise). Your waffles should be done according to the Waffle
Temperature Control setting that you’ve chosen. If you want them darker,
close the lid and continue baking until the desired color is achieved.
• Remove waffles from the grid using non-metallic utensils.
• 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.
• 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.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or
near children.
• 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.
