REMOVING THE WAFFLE PLATES
1. Allow the waffle plates to cool completely before removing.
2. Remove one waffle plate at a time.
3. Locate the waffle plate release button on the top and bottom of the waffle maker.
4. To release the BOTTOM waffle plate, push the release button IN and slide the
plate out from the holes in the housing. Lift plate out of the base housing.
5. To release the TOP waffle plate, push the release button DOWN and slide the
waffle plates out from the holes in the housing. Remove plate from the top
housing.
BAKING WAFFLES
1. Before first use, condition the nonstick waffle plates by
brushing or wiping a light coating of non-aerosol cooking
oil (vegetable, canola, or corn oil) onto the entire cooking
surface. Wipe off excess oil with paper towel.
Note: Do not use cooking spray as it can cause
residue to build up on the plates and decrease the
effectiveness of the non-stick coating.
2. With the lid closed, plug in the waffle maker. The
orange preheat light (B) will illuminate and the waffle
maker will start to heat up.
Note: The top housing and waffle plates will get hot
as the waffle maker preheats.
3. When the green ready light (C) turns on, the waffle
maker is ready for use.
4. Lift the closing latch and open the waffle maker by the
heat-resistant handle. Pour about 2/3 cup of batter on
the center of the lower waffle plate, so that the same
amount is on each quadrant. Do not pour too much
batter, as the excess will seep over the edges.
5. Close the lid. The green ready light will cycle off and
on while baking. This is not an indication that the waffle is done. The waffle iron
is regulating heat while cooking.
6. Cook waffle for 4–5 minutes, depending on the type of batter used. Avoid
opening the waffle maker as this may cause the waffle to stick or bake poorly.
7. For a crispier waffle, cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
8. Open the waffle maker by the heat-resistant handle and remove the waffle with
a heat-resistant, nonstick utensil. Do not use metal utensils, as they can damage
the nonstick coating.
9. Keep the lid closed between cooking batches to preserve the heat.
10. When finished baking the waffles, unplug the cord, open the waffle maker, and
allow it to cool completely before removing the waffle plates.
