3 Close waffl e 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 waffl es to split,
making them diffi cult to remove.
4 When the green light goes on again, rotate waffl e maker 180º
to the left (counterclockwise). Your waffl es should be done
according to the Waffl e Temperature Control setting that
you’ve chosen. If you want them darker, close the lid and
continue baking until the desired color is achieved.
5 Remove waffl es from the grid using non-metallic utensils.
6 If additional baking is to be done, close waffl e maker to
retain heat. Always be sure the green light goes on again
before making more waffl es.
7 If you need to take a short break, close waffl e maker to
maintain heat. When you return to baking, you will notice
that the fi rst waffl es 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 waffl e maker open to cool. Do not
clean until unit has cooled.
Waffl e Baking Tips
1 Set the Waffl e Temperature Control to your desired setting.
At fi rst, 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 waffl e, while waffl es made at a
higher setting are darker and crisper. Diff erent waffl e batters
will also cook up diff erently. Over time, you will fi nd your
perfect setting for the batter you use.
2 When preparing waffl e batter, do not over mix or waffl es will
be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients
disappear.
3 The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped
waffl e, without overfl owing, will vary with diff erent waffl e
batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you
gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid
of waffl e maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of
the grid.
4 For more evenly shaped waffl es, 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 waffl es, such as the Chocolate Waffl es are more
tender than regular waffl es, and may require more care
when removing from waffl e maker. You may want to break
these waffl es into halves or quarters before removing. Use
a spatula to support waffl es when removing from the
waffl e maker.
6 To retain crispness, move baked waffl es to a wire cooling
rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
7 When serving several waffl es at one time, keep waffl es
hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F
oven until ready to serve.
8 Already cooled waffl es can be re-warmed and re-crisped,
individually, by returning to hot waffl e maker. Set Waffl e
Temperature Control to low. Place waffl e on grid so grooves
match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching
carefully to prevent burning.
9 Baked waffl es freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack.
Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container,
separating waffl es with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffl es
in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
