4.Lift lid of waffle iron by grasping the handle and pushing up in one fluid motion. Lid will stay open at a 105° position until you lower it.

5.Pour batter onto the center of the lower waffle grid. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread batter evenly over the grid. Close the lid. The green light will turn off but the red light will stay illuminated.

6.Baking time is determined by the browning level that you chose in Step 3. It may take up to 4 minutes to bake your waffle on setting #6.

7.When the waffles are ready, the green light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. Remove the waffles by gently loosening the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula or wooden spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they will damage the nonstick coating.

8.When you are finished baking, turn the con- trol dial counterclockwise to the OFF setting. The red indicator light will turn off. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the waffle iron to cool down completely before handling.

CLEANING AND CARE

Once you have finished baking, turn the control dial to the OFF position and remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids begin to cool.

Allow waffle iron to cool down completely before handling.

Never take your waffle iron apart for cleaning. Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel.

You may also clean the grids by wiping with a damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup. Be certain grids have cooled completely before cleaning. If batter adheres

to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked batter and let stand approximately

5 minutes, allowing it to soften for easy removal.

To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. NEVER

IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

STORAGE

Store unit in a cool, dry place with cord wrapped securely under base.

TIPS TO MAKE

PERFECT WAFFLES

Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles. Setting #6 will produce the darkest color waffles. Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle color for you.

For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.

We recommend using 112 cups of batter to fill the lower grid.

Waffles are best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven. Place them in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispiness.

Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely, then place in plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles sepa- rated. Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven when ready to eat.

SUGGESTED TOPPINGS

Fruit syrups, warm fruit compote, fresh berries, chopped fruit, yogurt, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, whipped cream, ice cream or chocolate sauce.
