HOW TO:
USING YOUR OSTER® FLIP BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER
For best results, follow these simple instructions.
When your waffl e maker is heated for the fi rst time, it may
emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating
appliances. This does not aff ect the safety of your appliance.
However, it may aff ect the fl avor of the fi rst set of waffl
es
prepared in your waffl e maker, and it is recommended that
you discard these.
Preparing Your Flip Belgian Waffl e Maker
1 Close the waffl e maker and plug it into the wall outlet, you
will notice that the red power light will turn on. Turn the
temperature control knob to the desired setting. It will take
approximately 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking temperature.
When the Green Ready Light goes on, the waffl
e maker is
ready for use.
2 Before baking the fi rst waffl es of the day, use a pastry brush
to lightly coat the top and bottom waffl e grids with
vegetable oil. A light coating of non-stick cooking spray
also works well.
Baking
1 When the proper baking temperature is reached, the green
light will go on. Once heated up, cycle times will be faster.
2 Pour batter onto bottom grid of waffl e maker. Ladle just
enough batter to fi ll lower grid so that the peak area of the
grid is covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the
batter in to the corners of the grid. At this point the green
light will go off as the baking cycle begins.
