TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS Baking and serving tips • Whether one or two waffles are being prepared, always rotate the baking unit after filling a waffle plate. This coats both the upper and lower waffle plates with batter and ensures the finest consistency. • Don't over-fill the waffle plates. Pour the batter onto the center of the plate, then evenly spread it out to the edges using a soft spatula or the bottom of a non-metallic ladle. The batter should almost cover the peaks of the waffle grid. • Use a pitcher instead of a ladle: it's much easier to pour batter than to ladle it. • Close the baker lid immediately after removing a waffle. This helps maintain the proper baking temperature for additional waffles. • Waffles will lose their crispiness if stacked or placed on a solid surface. For the best results, keep waffles on a wire rack before serving. • When preparing multiple waffles for serving, keep the finished waffles warm by placing them in a 200° F (93° C) oven for up to 15 minutes. Lay the waffles in a single layer directly on the oven rack. Waffles can also be warmed by placing them into a pre-heated Waffle Baker for 1 minute. • Extra waffles can be frozen with very good results. Cool the leftovers in a single layer on a wire rack, separate the waffles with wax paper, and place them in a plastic freezer bag or other airtight container before putting them into the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy them, lay frozen waffles in a single layer directly on the oven rack and heat for 10 minutes at 300° F (150° C). Frozen waffles can also be heated by placing them into a pre-heated Waffle Baker for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. CARE AND CLEANING IMPORTANT: Make sure the Waffle Baker is switched off, unplugged, and completely cool before cleaning. 1 Open the baker lids and wipe the waffle plates clean with paper towels or a damp cloth. 2 Wipe the exterior of the Waffle Baker with a warm, sudsy cloth; then wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. NOTE: Do not immerse the Waffle Baker in water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. 12
