8.Remove waffles from the grid using non-metallic utensils.

9.If additional baking is to be done, close waffler to retain heat. Always be sure the green light goes on and the Waffle-Tone alert sounds again before making more waffles.

10.If you need to take a short break, close waffler to maintain heat. When you return to baking, you will notice that the first waffles will bake faster because extra heat has been allowed to build up.

11.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or near children.

12.When baking is complete, simply unplug power cord from wall outlet to turn waffler off. Leave waffler open to cool. Do not clean waffler until unit is cooled.

•When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.

•The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge how much batter to use each time. Boat waffles require a scant 1/2 cup batter each, or about 3/4 to 1 cup for 2 boats.

•You may want to “perforate” the two boat waffles with a plastic fork to separate boats before removing from waffler. Cake-based waffles, such as the Pound Cake and Chocolate Waffles, are more tender than regular waffles, and may require more care when handling. You may want to use a spatula to support these waffles when removing from

the waffler.

•To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.

•When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven until ready to serve.

•Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped, individually, by returning to hot waffler. Set Waffle Browning Control between 1 & 4. Place waffle on grid so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
