SELECT THE TASTE/TEXTURE – WHICH IS JUST RIGHT FOR YOU
The versatile Quad

condition best suited to your taste and allows you to vary and modify the taste, texture and aroma of
the waffles any time you wish. By adjusting the batter you can further widen the flavors and textures
available. You can develop the perfect combination of settings for each recipe and for any of your
favorite toppings. Caution - Do not rely on the age-old notion that the waffle is done when the
waffle maker stops steaming. Because of the unique Quad
ready to serve while the WafflePro
vary the settings to your taste.
MAKING WAFFLES WITH CRISP EXTERIOR/ MOIST INTERIOR
Waffles made with the Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior setting will retain more of the freshly–baked aroma
and flavor. The degree of exterior crispness will depend on the recipe and the color control setting.
1. Depress the left side of the black circular rocker switch to the "Crisp Exterior/Moist
Interior" setting. Set the color control between 2 and 3 for the first waffle.
2. Pour or ladle about 1 cup of batter from a ladle or pitcher in the middle of the lower waffle grid.
A thicker batter, that pours slowly works best. Avoid putting too much batter on grid as that will
cause an overflow and increase clean up time.
3. Close the lid and latch immediately after adding batter so as to spread out the batter uniformly.
Press down lightly on the lid handle for several seconds in order to help level the batter.
4. The red light will come on indicating the waffle is baking. This means the heater is powered to
continue the baking process.
5. When the waffle is ready, the green light comes on, the red light goes off, and the beeper
sounds briefly.
6. Lift the lid slightly and inspect the waffle color. If necessary close the lid and continue baking a
little longer until desired color is obtained. On the next baking cycle adjust the color control dial
as necessary to obtain a better setting. Movement to a higher number will darken the waffle.
Commonly the necessary adjustment is less than one whole number.
7. When the waffle is done, remove it by lifting one edge with a heat-resistant plastic fork or
spatula. (If you use a metal fork, use care not to contact grid surfaces as that might scratch the
non-stick surface and decrease its effectiveness.)
8. After removal of waffle, the Classic WafflePro
be closed until you are ready to bake again. If you do not start another waffle immediately the
green light will stay on until the grids cool slightly, then the red light will come on briefly
indicating the grids are being reheated to maintain readiness for the next use. When the green
light comes on again the next waffle can be poured and baked.
9. When finished baking, be certain to unplug the Classic WafflePro
waffle maker switched off.
MAKING WAFFLES WITH UNIFORM TEXTURE
Waffles made with the "Uniform Texture" baking cycle will be evenly baked throughout their
thickness. They will have a crunchy and drier texture. The amount of moisture retention will depend
on the color control setting. Generally the color control setting will be lower and the baking time will
be about twice that expected with the "Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior" setting.
