Tips:

1Cooking times may vary. Depending on your taste preference, leave the waffle in longer for darker, crispier waffles or shorter for light and fluffy waffles. Different waffle batters will also cook up differently.

2When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.

3The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid of waffler with enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid.

4For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer edge of grid, using a heat proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before closing lid.

5Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more tender than regular waffles, and may require more care when removing from waffler.

You may want to break these waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use a spatula to support waffles when removing from the waffler.

6To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.

7When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven until ready to serve.

8Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped, individually, by returning to hot waffler. Set Waffle Temperature Control to low. Place waffle on grid so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

9Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container, separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.

Care & Cleaning:

To keep your VillaWare® product looking new and to remove fingerprints:

When the VillaWare® product is not in use, please wipe the outside of unit with warm water or stainless steel appliance cleaner, then wipe and dry.

Here are a few easy steps to keep your waffler looking and working like new:

1Always unplug the waffler and allow it to cool before cleaning. There is no need to disassemble the waffler for cleaning. Never immerse the waffler in water or place in dishwasher.

2Brush away any loose crumbs from the grooves. Wipe grids clean with a paper towel, absorbing any oil or butter that might be down in the grooves of the grid. You can also wipe grids with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.

3Wipe the outside of the waffler with a damp cloth only. Do not clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish. A little metal polish suitable for stainless steel may be used occasionally on

the top housing. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.

4Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil onto the hardened batter. Let sit 5 minutes to soften batter, then wipe off with a paper towel or soft cloth.

5Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles, they can damage the non-stick surface.

6The drip tray can be easily removed. To clean spills, wipe with a damp cloth.
