6.Preparing the waffle iron
Before starting up the appliance, make certain that ...
the appliance, power plug and power cord are in proper condition and ...
all packaging materials have been removed from the appliance.
First clean the appliance as described under 8.
Then grease the baking surfaces lightly with butter, margarine or oil that is suitable for baking.
Heat the appliance breifly to the maximum temperature with the lid closed:
To do this, plug the power plug into the socket and turn the control knob all the way to the right.
The red operating light turns on as long as the power plug is in the socket. The green operating light turns on as long as the appliance is heating up – when it turns off, the appliance has finished heating.
•Now pull out the power plug again and let the appliance cool down with the lid open.
Clean the appliance again as described under 8. The waffle iron is now ready for use.
7.Baking waffles
If you have prepared a batter for the waffle iron according to your recipe book:
Heat the appliance with the lid closed. To do this, insert the power plug into the socket and turn the control knob to roughly the centre.
As soon as the green operating light goes out, the appliance is hot!
•Grease the hot baking surfaces lightly with butter, margarine or oil that is suitable for baking.
•Then spread the batter evenly across the bottom baking surface. Make certain that the batter does not run over the edge of the baking surface. Now close the lid.
•After no less than 1 minute, you can open the lid to check the baking result. Opening the lid early will only tear the waffle.
•The waffles are finished after about 3 minutes. The degree of browning can be determined by adjusting the control knob or altering the baking time. In this way, the waffles can be baked to a golden yellow or a crispy brown.
•When removing the waffles, be sure not to acci- dentally damage the coating of the baking surfa- ces. Otherwise it will be harder to separate the waffles from the surfaces.
•After baking the last waffle, pull the power plug out of the socket and allow the appliance to cool with the lid up.
