Helpful Hints

✽If desired, packaged waffle mixes may be prepared and baked in the Presto waffle maker. Bat- ter made from some packaged mixes may have a shorter baking time, so it is recommended that you check for doneness after 3½ minutes. Note: A good indication that a waffle is done is when steaming stops.

✽Waffle batters, whether using mixes or homemade recipes, will vary and therefore the amount of batter needed for an evenly filled waffle without overflow will vary. It is recommended that when making the first waffle you use a measuring cup to gauge how much batter is needed. Generally between ¾ and 1 cup works best. Never use more than 1 cup of batter. If you get some overflow, be sure to use less batter for the next waffle.

✽For batters that don’t flow when poured onto the waffle grid, use a heat-resistant spatula and spread out the batter evenly to the edges of the grid.

✽No-stick cooking sprays may be used to season the waffle maker. However, the waffle may not have a nice brown appearance like you get when using cooking oil. Instead, the waffle may have a mottled appearance.

✽Because the grids are covered with a nonstick coating, there will be only an occasional need to apply vegetable oil or a no-stick cooking spray. Dessert batters may require an application of vegetable oil or no-stick cooking spray to the waffle grids before cooking the first waffle and as needed for additional waffles.

✽Keep waffles warm and crisp until serving by placing them in a single layer directly on a rack in a 200˚ oven.

✽If you have leftover waffles, freeze them. Cool extra waffles to room temperature. Place them between layers of waxed paper in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, pop the frozen waffles into your toaster or reheat in an oven at 350˚ for about 10 minutes.

Care, Cleaning, and Storage

1.Unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Never immerse waffle maker in water or other liquid or wash in a dishwasher.

2.Brush any loose crumbs from the waffle grids. Then wipe the grids with a paper towel or cloth.

3.Should any batter become baked onto the grids or the outside of the unit, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the batter. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to soften and wipe off with a paper towel or cloth.

4.Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners on the unit.

5.For compact vertical storage, rotate waffle maker to upright position (Fig. G). While holding the handles together, lock in position by flipping up one
