GETTING TO KNOW THE WafflePro®
Take a minute to identify the key features and controls of the WafflePro®, (Figure 1) made of high strength, high temperature engineering plastics with a polished stainless steel lid.
To open the lid, lift by the insulated front plastic handle. Electronic controls are on the control panel, Figure 2.
Particularly important is the circular black Rocker Switch, Figures 1 and 2. Press the upper por- tion of the rocker switch for a fast bake and for waffles with “Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior”, or press at the bottom of the rocker switch for a deep bake and for waffles that have a more “Uniform Texture” throughout.
Below the rocker switch is a red light marked “Baking” to indicate when the waffle plates are being heated. Below that is a green light marked “Ready” to indicate either the waffle plate is at baking temperature or the waffle is “Ready” to be served.
An audible “Ready Beeper” sounds when the green light comes on to further indicate when the waffle is ready to serve.
The color control wheel is graduated numerically. The waffle will be darker or lighter in color depending on the exact setting of this wheel and the position of the rocker switch. This control wheel is relatively sensitive and fractional numerical changes can make a notable difference in color. The common operating range for the color control is 31⁄2 to 5. To darken the waffle, move toward a higher number.
The lid has a unique hinge that allows the back of the lid to raise slightly as needed to main- tain a uniform thickness of the waffle as it bakes and rises.
Provision has been made for cord storage as described in Storage Section. The cord can be stored under the WafflePro® with its end secured in a slot molded into the base.
The WafflePro® can be stored upright to save shelf space. Simply close the lid and stand it upright resting on the flat hinged end.

In about 31⁄2 minutes the red light will turn off, the green Ready light will turn on and the Beeper will sound indicating the WafflePro® is ready for baking. On the first heating you may sense a slight odor during the
When “Ready”, open the lid and brush a light coating of vegetable or corn oil, melted margarine or butter on the entire surface area of both the upper and lower heated grids (or you may use
Pour about 1⁄2 cup of waffle batter onto the middle of the lower grid and close the lid. Discard the first waffle as it will absorb the excess oil you used on the grids.
