selecting the “Crisp Exterior- Moist Interior” (fast bake) position, which applies full power to both waffle plates. Baking will take longer if you select “Uniform Texture”, which uses less power for a deeper bake that allows time to develop a crunchy interior.

BAKING TIME DISPLAY

Displays the selected baking time in minutes and seconds or the time-remaining once the baking cycle is initiated. It counts down from the set time to 0:00 and beeps 3 times when the waffle is ready.

BAKE TIME ADJUSTMENT

Press the down (▼) button to reduce the preset baking time. Press the up (▲) button to increase the preset time. Hold either of these buttons down and the time is automatically changed by a scrolling action. Any change to the baking time may be made only when the green “Ready for Baking” light is on.

Like your home oven, the Belgian WafflePro® allows you to independently set the baking temperature and baking time. This, together with the choice of fast bake or slow bake, gives you flexibility well beyond the conventional griddle in that you can transfer heat faster or slower to the waffle during the baking cycle. You will enjoy this ability to fine tune the texture and taste of your waffles.

You will appreciate how the electronic controls automatically detect the presence of batter as you pour it onto the lower plate. These controls start the baking timer for you and tell you when the waffle is done by the timer count-down to zero accompanied by three audible beeps.

Also, you will note how each waffle is evenly baked, consistent in color, and fully filled. To achieve this it is important to measure carefully the amount of batter placed on the lower plate. If you use too little batter the waffle will not, of course, be fully formed. If you use too much it will overflow onto the perimeter overflow channel. Allow any overflow to solidify slightly. This makes it easier to remove. Caution: if you overfill the waffle maker you will create more steam during the waffle forming stage.
