HOW TO USE

1.Open the unit by lifting the Handle. The top section will rest in a vertical position (See Call Out). The hinge between the sections is designed to be loose. This allows the waffle to rise evenly and for steam to escape.

2.IMPORTANT Before First Use: Condition the non-stick cooking surfaces with a light coating of cooking oil before first use. Do not use non-stick cooking spray. Thoroughly brush the oil onto the cooking surfaces or wipe on with a paper towel. Be sure to coat the cooking surfaces. Wipe OFF excess oil with paper towels. You only need to do this the FIRST time you use this appliance.

Baking Waffles

NOTE: Be sure you have “conditioned” the cooking surfaces (See “IMPORTANT Before First Use”).

1.Close the lid and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet. The Power Light will come on to indicate

the unit is heating. Use the preheat	A
time (about 41⁄2 minutes) to
prepare your batter. When the
Ready-to-Cook Light cycles on,
the unit is preheating (A).

2.Open the unit, pour 1⁄2 cup of batter onto the lower cooking surface, and spread it

evenly over the entire lower surface. (Pouring more than this will cause excess batter to seep out over the edges.)

3.Carefully close the top. Keep hands away from the unit as steam escapes during baking. The Ready-to-Cook Light will cycle on and off during baking to maintain temperature. Cooking time is about 4-6 minutes, depending on the type of batter/ingredients you used and the amount of browning and crispness you’d like.

4.Use a timer for accurate waffle cooking. Avoid opening the unit during the baking cycle as this may cause the waffle to stick or split.

5.When the waffle is done and the steam has stopped escaping, open the top and use a fork to remove the waffle. Be careful not to scratch the non-stick coating with the fork. If the waffle sticks, lightly re-oil the cooking surfaces.

6.Since this wafflemaker semi-cuts the waffle into 4 sections, you may want to have a plate nearby when removing the waffle in case it separates into parts. Keep the lid closed between cooking batches of waffles to preserve heat.

7.When all waffles are baked, unplug the cord, open the unit, and allow it to cool before cleaning.

Helpful Hints

1.Belgian waffles are great for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or desserts. Consider the following toppings to create tasty treats: sliced fruits or berries, syrup or honey, whipped cream, ice cream, jelly or jam, powdered sugar, or fruit yogurt.

2.Baked waffles freeze well. Cook all the batter. Cool the waffles and place paper towels between them. Wrap them in plastic wrap or freezer bags, and freeze. No need to defrost them when you want to reheat frozen waffles. Just heat them in a toaster or toaster oven.

3.If a waffle sticks and splits when you try to open the lid, close the wafflemaker and continue baking until the waffle is crisp (another minute or so). Crisp waffle pieces are easier to remove from the cooking grids.
