baking cycle begins. It is very typical to have a small amount of batter run over grid and down unit. However, if an excessive amount of batter runs over, use less batter.

5Cover will rise slightly as waffles begin to bake. Do not open cover while steam is escaping. Most waffle recipes bake in approximately 5 minutes on the low setting, 4-½ minutes on the medium setting and 4 minutes on the high setting. Times will vary based on thickness of mixture. Waffles are generally done when steam no longer escapes from sides and front of unit. NOTE: Waffles will split if upper housing is opened too early.

6Remove waffles from the cooking plate.

NOTE:The Ready light may cycle on and off during cooking. This indicates that the thermostat is maintaining the unit at the proper cooking temperature.

7If additional baking is to be done, close waffle maker to retain heat. Always be sure the green light goes on again before making more waffles.

8Close cover and wait for Ready light to come on before preparing another batch of waffles.

Waffle Baking Tips

1Set the Waffle Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting in the middle. You may later adjust

it lower or higher according to your preference. A lower setting produces a lighter colored waffle, while waffles made at a higher setting are darker and crisper. Different waffle batters will also cook up differently. Over time, you will find your perfect setting for the batter you use.

2When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.

3The 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. Fill bottom grid of waffle maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid.

4For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer edge of grid, using a heat proof spatula or other non- metallic utensil before closing lid.

5Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more tender than regular waffles, and may require more care when removing from waffle maker. You may want to break these waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use a spatula to support waffles when removing from the waffle maker.

6To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.

7When 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.

8Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped, individually, by returning to hot waffle maker. Set Waffle Temperature Control to low. Place waffle on grid so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

9Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container, separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
