MAKING WAFFLES WITH CRISP EXTERIOR/MOIST INTERIOR
Waffles made with the Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior setting will retain more of the
1.Depress the upper portion of the black circular rocker switch marked “Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior.” Set the color control to 4 for the first waffle.
2.Pour or ladle about 1⁄2 cup of batter from a ladle or pitcher in the middle of the lower waffle grid. A thicker batter, thin enough to just pour slowly works best. Avoid putting too much bat- ter on grid as that will cause an overflow and increase clean up time. Too little batter will not fill the grid and heating will be uneven.
3.Close the lid immediately after adding batter so as to spread out the batter uniformly. Press down lightly on the lid handle for several seconds in order to help level the batter. A special hinge at the rear of lid adjusts automatically to ensure a uniform thickness of the waffle.
4.The red light will come on indicating the waffle is baking. This means the heater is powered to continue the cooking process.
5.When the waffle is ready, the green light comes on, the red light goes off and the beeper sounds briefly.
6.Lift the lid slightly and inspect the waffle color. If necessary, close the lid and continue heat- ing a little longer until desired color is obtained. On the next baking cycle adjust the color control wheel as necessary to obtain a better setting. Movement to a higher number will darken the waffle. Commonly the necessary adjustment is less than one whole number.
7.When the waffle is done, remove it by lifting one edge with a
8.After removal of waffle, the WafflePro® can be immediately refilled with batter or it can be closed until you are ready to bake again. If you do not start another waffle immediately the green light will stay on until the grids cool slightly, then the red light will come on briefly indi- cating the grids are being reheated to maintain readiness for the next use. When the green light comes on again the next waffle can be poured and baked.

9.When finished baking, be certain to unplug the WafflePro®. Only then is the power to the waffle maker switched off.
MAKING WAFFLES WITH UNIFORM TEXTURE
Waffles made with the “Uniform Texture” baking cycle will be evenly baked throughout their thickness. They will have a crunchy and drier texture. The amount of moisture retention will depend on the color control setting. Generally the color control setting will be lower and the bak- ing time will be about twice that expected with the “Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior” setting.
1.Depress the lower portion of the black circular rocker switch marked “Uniform Texture”. Set the color control dial to 31⁄2 for the first waffle.
2.Pour or ladle about 1⁄2 level cup of batter from a ladle or pitcher in the middle of the lower waf- fle grid. A thicker batter, thin enough to just pour slowly works best. Do not overfill the grid.
3.Close the lid immediately after adding the batter so that the lid will level out the batter.
A special hinge at the rear adjusts automatically to ensure a uniform thickness of the waffle.
4.The red light will come on indicating the waffle is baking.
5.When the waffle is ready the red light goes off, the green light comes on, and the beeper sounds briefly.
6.Lift the lid and inspect the waffle. If you want a slightly browner waffle, close the lid and cook for another 20 seconds or so.
7.When the color is right, remove waffle with a plastic spatula or fork. As needed increase or decrease the color control for the next cycle. Once you establish the optimum color setting, it will not require any change in the future unless you alter the waffle recipe or switch to “Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior.”
8.Add batter for the next waffle or close lid until you are again ready to bake. The green light will remain on until WafflePro® cools slightly. Then the red light will alternately come on to keep the grids hot until you are ready for the next waffle.
9.When finished baking, be certain to unplug the WafflePro®. Only then is the power to the waffle maker switched off.
Always unplug the WafflePro® immediately after use. Never leave it unattended when plugged in. Children should not be allowed to use a waffle maker except in the presence of an attentive adult.
The WafflePro® cools faster when its lid is left fully open. Store only when cold. Save shelf space by storing the WafflePro® upright resting on its hinged flat end.
WAFFLE BASICS
Superb waffles begin with a good recipe but depend on a versatile waffle maker to fully develop the flavor, texture and aroma of the batter. A perfect waffle is no accident. It is the combination of a brownish crisp exterior and an interior texture baked the way you like it. Some of us pre- fer a waffle with a moist interior like freshly baked bread. Such a waffle has the greatest flavor and aroma. Others want a uniformly crunchy waffle, one that is baked slowly with less interior moisture. You may like to bake breakfast waffles that are crisp on the outside and fluffy inside but you may want a chocolate dessert waffle, destined to be served with a scoop of ice cream, that is crunchy throughout.
The WafflePro® incorporates the unique Quad® baking system to ensure a waffle baked the way you prefer. You select either a fast bake or a deep bake. Then you select a color control
