Do not place your hand or any other part of the body near the perimeter of a WafflePro® when bak- ing. Steam can burn. To control baking temperatures rotate the color adjustment dial. The numbers are precisely calibrated 1 thru 6 against the actual plate temperatures which covers the optimum temperature range for waffles. For most waffle batters a setting of 312 is a good place to start.

Provision has been made for cord wrap and storage in a compartment under the WafflePro® where the power plug can be secured in a close fitting cavity. (See Figure 3, Page 15). The Belgian WafflePro® is particularity compact and readily stored compared to Belgian “flip type” waffle makers.

HOW TO BAKE WITH THE BELGIAN WAFFLEPRO - MODEL 850/850-SE

Before you bake for the first time you may want to decide whether you would prefer a waffle that has a crisp exterior while still slightly moist inside or whether you would like a drier waf- fle, crunchy all the way through. Whichever you prefer, you can make that selection with the “Taste Select” button as soon as the Belgian WafflePro® reaches baking temperature and the green “Ready to Bake” light is on.

Most people prefer the crisp exterior/moist interior, which will bake in as little as 90 to 120 seconds or slightly over 2 minutes, depending on just how moist you like the interior. It takes about twice as long if you select “Uniform Texture”.

You can use any waffle mix including the ChefsChoice Gourmet Waffle Mix, generally available through your local dealer. Choose any of the recipes included with these instructions, but we suggest you start with the Basic Wheat Flour Waffle or the Basic Waffles Using Packaged Mix on page 9 and 10.

Proceed as follows:

1.Plug the power cord into a conventional household grounded three-prong outlet, rated for 120 V, 20 amperes. Close the lid. (Because the Model 850/850-SE draws up to 15 amperes, choose an outlet free of any other active appliances).

2.The beeper will sound for 1 second and the digital display will illuminate showing “0:00”, indicating the waffle maker is heating.

3.Set the “Color Adjust” dial to a setting of “3” or “4”. This determines the actual baking tem- perature. If you wish to increase the baking temperature for a darker, browner waffle adjust the “Color Adjust” dial to a slightly higher number. Generally, movements of 1 division are enough. To reduce the bake temperature, move the dial to a lower number. Once you have reached the selected temperature (as indicated by the green “Ready for Baking” light) and before pouring the batter, make sure your texture selection and bake time are correct. If not, change them at this time to the desired values.

4.The green “Ready for Baking” light will come on when the waffle maker reaches baking temperature, as determined by the setting of the “Color Adjust” dial. At that time there will also be a 1 second audible “beep” and the baking time setting will appear. If you want to change the baking time or “Taste Select” you can do so only during the time when the green “Ready for Baking” light is on.

5.The WafflePro’s waffle plates are coated with a special non-stick material that is unusually resistant to sticking, however, if you find any tendency for the waffles to stick, the following simple procedure developed by Chef’sChoice will greatly reduce that tendency. This procedure eliminates the need for non-stick sprays.
