Villaware 3100 Waffle Iron User Manual


 
HOW TO USE YOUR WAFFLER
For best results, follow these simple instructions. Note that when your waffler is new, you may
notice some slight smoking or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not
recur. This does not affect the safety of your appliance. However, it is recommended that you
discard the first set of waffles from your new waffler.
1. Set the Waffle Browning Control to your desired setting. At first, try a
setting between 3 & 4. You may later adjust it to be lower or higher according
to your preference. A lower setting produces a lighter waffle, while waffles
made at a higher setting are darker and crispier. Different waffle batters will
also cook up differently. Over time, you will find your perfect setting for the
batter you use.
2. Close the waffler and plug into 110/120 volt AC wall outlet. The red
indicator light will begin to glow, indicating that the waffler 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 waffler.
3. Before baking the first waffle of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the
top and bottom waffle grids with vegetable oil or melted shortening. You’ll
find that spray shortenings work well for this purpose. Repeat this only at
the start of each day you bake waffles.
4. When the proper baking temperature is reached, the green light will go on
and the Waffle-Tone
will sound. Once heated up, cycle times will be faster.
5. Ladle just enough batter to fill the lower grid so that the peak areas of the
grid are covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter into the
corners of the grid. At this point the green light will go off as the baking
cycle begins.
6. Close the waffler. Do not open the waffler for at least 1 1⁄2 minutes.
Opening the waffler too soon will cause the unbaked waffles to split, making
them difficult to remove.
7. When the green light goes on and the Waffle-Tone
sounds, waffles should
be done according to the Waffle Browning Control setting that you've
chosen. If you find you want them darker, close the lid and continue baking
until the desired color is achieved.
8. Remove waffles from the grid with a non-metallic utensil.
9. For best results for your next waffle, if the green light is not yet on, close the
waffler and wait a few moments until green light goes on again and the
Waffle-Tone
sounds. Pour your batter and proceed again from Step #5.
10. If you need to take a short break, close the waffler to maintain the heat.
When you return to baking, you will notice that the first waffles will bake
much faster because extra heat has been allowed to build up.
11. When you are finished baking, simply unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet to turn the waffler off and leave the waffler open to allow it to cool.
After it has cooled, brush any crumbs from the grooves and wipe off the
grids with a dry paper towel to absorb any excess margarine or shortening.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces, instead use the handles.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse power cord, plug or
appliance in water or any other liquid.
4. If the power cord is damaged, the manufacturer (or a similarly qualified
person) must replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
5. Do not use outdoors.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or
near children.
7. Avoid contact with moving parts.
8. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may
cause fire, electric shock or injury.
9. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow appliance to
cool completely before putting on or taking off parts.
10. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to VillaWare for examination, repair or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
11. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch
any hot surface.
12. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
13. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
14. To disconnect, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
15. Do not clean the appliance with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off
from the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
