Chef's Choice 840B, 8500001 manual

Procedure: Heat the waffle plates fully and wait for the “Ready for Baking” green light to come on. Open the lid and carefully add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to the center of the lower waffle plate. Caution: This will create steam! Immediately close the lid so that both the upper and lower plates are treated simultaneously and wait for the water to steam off completely.

Note: Adding water will likely automatically trigger the countdown mechanism. In any event, be sure to close the lid immediately to confine the steam, let the timer count down and wait for the “Ready for Baking” green light to come on before adding batter.

6.The “Taste Select” is set at the factory for “Crispy Exterior, Moist Interior” as the adjacent red light indicates. If you prefer to bake a waffle that is crunchier all the way through, push the “Taste Select” button. The red light next to “Uniform Texture” will light and the time displayed will be either the factory default of “4:15” or the time-setting you selected when you last baked with a setting of “Uniform Texture”. The “Uniform Texture” uses a reduced power level for a slower bake waffle. Note: The factory settings of bake-time are “2:00” (Two minutes) for ”Crispy Exterior, Moist Interior”, which is a fast bake and “4:15” (Four minutes and fifteen seconds) for “Uniform Texture”, a slower bake.

7.Carefully place 1 full cup of pre-measured batter (some recipes call for more) onto the center of the lower baking plate, close the lid and make certain the locking latch engages (see Fig.1). The presence of batter will be detected automatically and the digital timer will start counting down. At the end of the baking cycle 3 short beeps will signal that the waffle is “done”. Carefully check the doneness of the waffle by unlatching and lightly lifting the lid. If the lid appears to be sticking or if you wish to deepen the color, leave the lid closed for an additional 15 seconds, then lift. The lid should open readily when the waffle is fully cooked.

Tip: Use a measuring cup to ensure accurate volume and to facilitate pouring of the batter.

8.Remove the waffle. To prevent damage to the non-stick baking surfaces, remove the waffle with a high temperature plastic spatula or fork. Note the light and crispy nature of the freshly baked waffle.

9.When the green “Ready to Bake” light and timer setting return, you can start the next waffle. (Note: If you wish to bake longer on the next cycle press and hold the “▲” up button to set the new time. To decrease the bake time press the “▼” down button. You can change the bake time only when the green light is on.) As you continue to hold either of these buttons the time will scroll faster. Once a waffle is baked with your new bake time, the electronics will automatically store this new time setting for your next use.

10.If left unattended for 45 minutes the Belgian WafflePro® will enter the “Sleep Mode”. In the

“Sleep Mode” it’s display will show three flashing dashes “---” on the display. In the “Sleep Mode” the WafflePro® no longer attempts to maintain the “Color Adjust” temperature and the waffle plates will begin to cool. To wake up the Belgian WafflePro® and bake more waffles just press any button. When a button is pressed the display will show “0:00” and begin pre-heating to the “Color Adjust” baking temperature. If you do not wish to use the waffle maker again that day, be certain to unplug it before leaving the room.

DO NOT place any batter in the waffle maker until the plates have fully reheated and the green “Ready to Bake” light comes on. Otherwise the waffle batter will likely stick to the plates, making it very difficult to remove the waffle.
