6. If making additional waffles, pour waffle batter evenly on the waffle plate. Use a heatproof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the plate. Close top cover and rotate the waffle maker plates 180°. 7. When the second waffle is baked to the preferred setting, the unit will beep three times and a light located on the waffle grid cover will illuminate. 8. Rotate the waffle maker with the lit indicator to the top position. Raise the top cover and remove the baked waffle. 9. If making additional waffles, repeat the instructions above. 10. When you are finished baking, turn unit switch to the OFF position, unplug the unit and allow the waffle maker to cool before handling. CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE Once you have finished baking, turn the unit to the OFF position; remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open and allow grids to cool down completely before cleaning. Brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel. You may clean the grids by wiping with a damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup. Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning. Be certain that grids have cooled completely before cleaning. If batter adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked 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. Any other servicing should be provided by an Authorized Service Representative. TIPS AND HINTS • Setting #1 will produce the lightest color waffles. Setting #6 will produce the darkest color waffles. Experiment to determine your preferred setting. • Packaged Belgian waffle mixes found in most supermarkets may be used with this unit. • For best results, we recommend filling the supplied measuring cup to the top so it will fill the waffle grids. • For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire waffle grid should be filled. • We recommend turning the browning control dial to setting #4 when using commercial pancake/waffle mixes and for the included recipes. If you prefer crisper, darker Belgian waffles, set the browning control higher. If you prefer lighter waffles, turn the browning control dial down. • If waffles tend to stick to waffle grids, add slightly more oil or butter to the batter. • Belgian waffles taste best when made to order, but baked Belgian waffles may be kept warm in a 200˚F oven. Place them in a baking pan or wrap them in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispness. • Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow them to cool completely, and then place them in a plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in an oven, toaster or toaster oven when ready to serve. 6
