USING YOUR ROTARY WAFFLE MAKER

1.Plug the waffle maker into a 120 volt, AC outlet only. Using the color control knob, select the desired color setting. Let the waffle maker preheat as you prepare the batter. Note: For the first few uses of your Rotary Waffle Maker, you may want to set the color selection to the middle temperature range and adjust according to your tastes and the results obtained. The darker setting will result in darker, crispier waffles. Lower settings result in softer, lighter colored waffles.

2.Preheat the waffle maker for 3 - 4 minutes. When the green ready light is lit, open the top cover and pour about ¾ cup of batter into the heating plate. Spread the batter to the edges of the plate with a non-metallic utensil. Close the top cover and turn the handle 180°to the right.

3.The green ready light may remain lit for up to 20 seconds after rotating the waffle maker. Let your waffle cook until the green light has turned back on; turn the handle counter-clockwise to return the waffle maker to the starting position. Open the top lid, remove the waffle with a non-metallic utensil. Note: Do not open the waffle maker too early, as underbaked waffles will split and are difficult to remove.

4.Repeat the process until no more batter remains. The color control selection can be changed at any point while making waffles. Be certain to close the waffle maker between waffles. Additional waffles baked will finish more quickly than the first waffle.

5.When all waffles have been baked, unplug the waffle maker and leave the top lid open to allow the waffle maker to cool completely. Be extremely cautious around the hot waffle maker.

6.Clean your appliance after each use by following the directions in the “Cleaning Your Rotary Waffle Maker” section.

•A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

•Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.

HELPFUL HINTS

Different batters cook differently, some experimentation will be necessary to create the desired results.

When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix. Only mix until the large lumps of dry ingredients are mixed in. If overmixed, the waffles will bake dense and tough.

After the first waffle is made, subsequent waffles will cook more quickly.

Between waffles, always be sure to close the top lid to retain heat in the waffle maker.

Do not open the waffle maker before the green light has turned back on; undercooked waffles will separate and be difficult to remove from the waffle maker.

Waffles can be kept hot and toasty until ready to serve by setting them on the rack in a preheated oven. The oven should be set to 200°F.
