Helpful Hints

• Sift all dry ingredients.
• Egg yolks should be separated from egg whites before mixing.
• Beating egg whites separately, and then folding into the batter,

will create lighter and crispier waffles.

• Egg whites should be beaten until they form stiff peaks. Stir

1/4 of beaten egg whites into batter to lighten it, then gently
fold the rest of the egg whites into the batter (there should be
white streaks in the batter). Do not over-mix batter when
adding egg whites.

• It is not necessary to beat egg yolks and milk separately; just

add to the combined flour mixture, and use a whisk or hand
mixer to blend.

• Do not open the Waffle Maker during the first minute of baking,

or waffles will separate. Completely bake waffles before
removing them from the unit.

• When waffles are done, the Lid should lift open easily.

Lift the Lid gently. If Lid pulls, wait another minute and try
lifting it open again.

• Waffles can be made ahead of time, then refrigerated or frozen.

When ready to eat, just heat waffles in oven or toaster. This is
ideal when serving waffles to several people at once.

For Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Waffles

• All recipes work equally well with skim milk.
• Leave out egg yolks altogether. All leavening properties come

from the beaten egg whites.

• Use liquid vegetable oils, like canola, corn or sunflower, instead

of butter.

For Higher-Fiber Waffles

• Substitute 1/2-cup, or more, of whole wheat flour for white flour.
• Substitute 1/4-cup of wheat, or oat bran, for white flour.

For Sugarless Waffles

• Substitute 1 Tablespoon of thawed all-natural white grape or

apple juice, from concentrate, for each teaspoon of sugar. If
adding more than 1 Tablespoon of juice from concentrate, add
a little less milk.

Operating Instructions

Before Using For The First Time

IMPORTANT: Before using for the first time, operate the

appliance without batter in order to burn off residues on
the Cooking Plates.

To avoid burns, caution should be taken when handling the
Waffle Maker.

1. Carefully unpack Waffle Maker.

2. Wipe all surfaces with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Never

immerse in water.

3. To burn off residues on the Cooking Plates, it will be necessary

to operate the unit for a few minutes before initial use. Do not
add batter or oil during this time.

4. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat countertop surface,

where it can be easily plugged into an electrical outlet.

5. You will notice smoke and a slight odor while residues burn off.

6. Allow the Waffle Maker to operate until smoke and odor

dissipate; then unplug Waffle Maker and allow it to cool.
Be careful, the Cooking Plates will be hot!

NOTE: Some odor may still be detected during initial use; this

is normal and should disappear after one or two uses.
