Preparing your waffle maker for use
1. Open Waffle Maker by lifting the upper handle.
2. Before using for the first time, clean cooking plates with
soft cloth or sponge, dampened with hot, soapy water. Do
not immerse Waffle Maker in water. Wipe with dampened
cloth or sponge and wipe dry.
3. When using for the first time, “season” the grids by rub-
bing lightly with cooking oil. Should sticking occur in later
usage, reseason your Waffle Maker.
Preparing Waffles
1. Close Waffle Maker and plug into outlet. Use only voltage
specified on bottom of Waffle Maker. The Power light
(Red) and Ready light (Green) will come on.
Caution: Touch Waffle Maker only by handles during use
or directly after use. Take care not to touch hot surfaces.
2. The Waffle Maker is ready for initial use when the Ready
(green) light goes out (approximately 2-4 minutes).
3. Open Waffle Maker, pour approximately 3/4 cup waffle
batter onto grids. For best results, pour batter around
outer edge of waffle maker. Close cover. It is very typical
to have a small amount of batter run over grid and down
Waffle Maker. However, if an excessive amount of batter
runs over, use less batter.
4. Close the Waffle Maker by lowering the upper plate onto
the lower plate and secure with the safety latch. Do not
open cover while steam is escaping. Most waffles bake in
approximately 2-4 minutes, depending on personal taste.
Waffles are generally done when the Ready light (green)
goes out and when steam no longer escapes from sides
and front of Waffle Maker.
5. When waffles are done, remove with a fork or wooden
tongs. Note: Be careful you do not scratch the non-stick
cooking surface.
6. Close cover and wait for Ready light to go out before
preparing another batch of waffles. The next waffle may
be baked in less time because the plate will store heat.
Hints For Tasty Waffles
1. Do not over mix waffle batter. Beating egg whites
separately and folding them into the batter will create
a lighter, crispier waffle.
2. Completely bake waffles before removing them from the
Waffle Maker.
3. Do not open the waffle maker while steam is escaping
from the sides and front of the Waffle Maker.
4. Why not freeze prepared waffles for those busy days
ahead? Just bake the waffles as directed. Cool on a wire
rack and wrap in moisture-proof paper or plastic. Quickly
reheat in your toaster oven, broiler, or microwave oven.
