above instructions. TIPS AND HINTS Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles or omelets. Setting #6 will produce the darkest color waffles or omelets. Experiment to determine your preferred settings. For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the center of the lower plate and spread batter out evenly to the edges. The entire lower plate should be filled. For best results, we recommend filling the supplied measuring cup to the top so it will fill the lower plate with the correct amount of batter. For added convenience while baking waffles, rest measuring cup with handle hanging on outside of bowl and scoop on inside of bowl until the next baking cycle. To measure flour, stir the flour first to aerate it, since it settles when it sits. Then spoon it into a measuring cup, leveling off the top with the back of a knife - do not pack down into measuring cup. These quick steps will help you avoid heavy waffles. Note: When making omelets, frittatas, pancakes and cornbread, close top lid and let mixture stand for 20 seconds before rotating the omelet side 180˚. Belgian waffles taste best when made to order, but baked Belgian waffles may be kept warm in a 200˚F oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispness. Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely, and then store in a plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in an oven, toaster or toaster oven when ready to use. If waffles tend to stick to waffle plates, add slightly more oil or butter to the batter. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Once you have finished baking, press switch to the OFF position; remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open and allow grids/plates to cool before cleaning. Never take your Breakfast Express® apart for cleaning. To clean, simply brush crumbs from grooves and absorb any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel. You may also clean the plates by wiping with a damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup. Be certain that grids/plates have cooled completely before cleaning. If batter adheres to grids/plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the bakedon batter and let stand approximately five minutes, allowing batter to soften for easy removal. To clean exterior, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS. Maintenance: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. 6
