OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE
1. Prepare waffle batter.
2. Plug the Waffle Maker into a wall outlet. The red power indicator light located on the
top of the Waffle Maker will illuminate and the Waffle Maker will begin to preheat.
When the Waffle Maker is fully heated, after about 5 minutes, the blue ready indicator
light will illuminate as well.
3. Use the Shade Setting Knob to select desired shade setting. There are 7 shade
settings: MIN, MAX and 5 settings in between. The higher the setting, the darker and
more crunchy the waffle will be.
4. Use the included measuring cup to scoop the batter. Fill the measuring cup based on
the thickness of your batter. The measuring cup includes markings for recommended
amounts of batter (160 ml for thick batter and 125 ml for thin batter.) Remember: All
batters vary.
TIP: The measuring cup’s handle is designed to rest on the side of your bowl.
5. Pour batter into the center of the anti-overflow plates.
NOTE: Never use nonstick spray on cooking plates. Nonstick spray will cause build-up
over time, which may cause sticking. If desired, brush with a small amount of cooking
oil instead, such as canola, vegetable or grapeseed.
6. Close the lid. The blue light will turn off and re-illuminate when ready.
CAUTION: Never place your face or other parts of your body on the side of the Waffle
Maker. Hot steam escapes from the sides of the Waffle maker during cooking and can
potentially cause burns.
7. When waffle is ready, carefully open the lid: Place your fingers on the latch release
grips. Use your thumb to press the latch and lift to open.
8. Use silicone-tipped tongs to remove the cooked waffle and transfer to a plate. Serve
immediately.
9. If not serving immediately, transfer cooked waffles to a sheet pan equipped with a
wire rack—the wire rack will help prevent the waffles from getting soggy. Keep warm
in a 200°F oven.
10. Before making subsequent waffles, brush away any remaining crumbs or bits left in
the plates of the Waffle Maker. For more information, see “Cleaning and Maintenance”
on page 9.
11. Unplug Waffle Maker when done to turn off. Let cool completely before storing in a
cool, dry place. (The Waffle Maker may be stored upright to save space!)
TIPS
When making waffle mix, do not overmix. Whisk by hand, or use a mixer on very slow
speed, just until large lumps disappear.
The optimal amount of batter to produce a full waffle varies based on brand and
thickness of waffle batter.
Using mix-ins may take some experimenting. Try mixing them into a single cup of batter
at first, and baking one waffle at a time, until you perfect your ratio of mix-ins to batter.
Do not open Waffle Maker during the first minute of cooking; waffles will separate. For
optimal results, allow waffle to cook completely by completing full cooking cycle.
If top of Waffle Maker resists when attempting to lift it after cooking waffle, allow waffle
to cook for longer in 30-second increments.
Never use nonstick spray on cooking plates. Nonstick spray will cause build-up over time,
which may cause sticking. If desired, brush with a small amount of cooking oil instead,
such as canola, vegetable or grapeseed.
For crispier, darker waffles, allow waffle to cook for longer.
Cake-based waffles are more tender than regular waffles and may require more care
when removing from Waffle Maker. Use silicone-tipped tongs and a spatula for support.
Waffle results will vary based on brand of waffle mix or recipe used.
Serve waffles immediately, or place on a sheet pan equipped with a wire rack—the wire
rack will help prevent the waffles from getting soggy. Keep warm in a 200°F oven.
Cooked waffles freeze well. Cool completely and wrap in wax paper. Transfer to a sealed
plastic bag or wrap in aluminum foil. Reheat waffles in a toaster, toaster oven or oven.
