Storage Store unit in a cool dry place, with cord wrapped securely. TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES We recommend setting #3 or #4 for golden brown waffles, either from mix or homemade. If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the browning control. For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled. We recommend using 2 cups batter per batch for most recipes. Waffles are best when made to order, but prebaked 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 crispiness. Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely; then place in plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in toaster or toaster oven when ready to use.

Pour 2 cups of batter evenly over the lower grid; spread batter using a heat-proof spatula to within 1⁄2 inch of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle iron - green indicator light will turn off. When green indicator light turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately.
