Operation Manual

The wafes I made were rounded on the edges instead of
square. What happened?
Youprobablydidn’tuseenoughwafebatter.Thewafe
maker takes about two ladles of batter per batch, though
you may need to experiment to determine the right
amountforthewayyouliketomakewafes.Besureto
use a heat resistent nylon or wood utensil to spread the
batter evenly over the bottom plate so that all of the
cornersarelled.Thiswillensurethateverywafeis
beautifully shaped.
My wafes stuck to the grates. What did I do wrong?
Besureyoupreheatthewafemakerbeforeaddingthe
batter. Turn the knob to the desired level of browning and
then wait until all of the lights between ‘OFF’ and that
setting are illuminated and the chime sounds.
If I want to make two wafes instead of four, can I ll
half of the wafe maker at a time?
Yes, simply use half the amount of batter and pour it over
halfofthewafeplates.
