INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The waffle grids have been treated with a special nonstick PTFE
coating. Before the first use, we suggest you season the grids with
cooking spray or flavorless vegetable oil. If using oil, apply oil with a
paper towel or pastry brush.
1. Plug the cord into a 120V AC wall outlet.
2. To preheat your Waring
® Belgian Waffle Maker, turn the control
knob dial to setting #5 or preferred setting*. Heat-up time should
take approximately four minutes. The Ready indicator light
located on the top of the waffle maker will illuminate when the unit
is fully heated. (This is for the first waffle of each baking session.)
NOTE: The first time you use your waffle maker it may have a
slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is normal, and common to
appliances with a nonstick surface.
3. When the waffle grids are preheated, open the lid. Fill the
provided batter cup with batter. If using a standard measuring
cup, fill to ¾ cup.
4. Pour the batter evenly across the waffle grids. Use a heatproof
spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close the lid
and rotate the handle 180° to the right.
5. The Ready light will be on for approximately 30 seconds and then
cycle off. When the ready light turns back on, your waffle is ready.
NOTE: Baking time is determined by the browning setting chosen.
It may take up to 3 minutes to bake your waffles on a higher
setting.
6. Once the Ready light has illuminated, rotate the handle 180° to
the left and open the lid. To remove the waffle, gently loosen the
edges with a heat-proof spatula. Never use stainless utensils, as
they may damage the nonstick coating.
7. Repeat the above process if making additional waffles. It is not
necessary to spray the waffle grids before each new waffle.
When you are finished baking, always unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet. Allow the waffle maker to cool down
completely before handling.
*We recommend using setting #5 to achieve a golden-brown baked
Belgian waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or
darker waffles.
