Making waffles

Two different types of plates can be used for making waffles: the Nordic waffle plates (heart shape)
and the Belgian waffle plates.
1 Make batter according to the instructions given in the chapter 'Recipes for waffles' in these
directions for use.
To get optimal results, let the batter stand for half an hour before baking.
2 Place the waffle plates in the appliance (fig. 13).
When you place the plates in the appliance properly, you will hear a click.
3 Slightly grease the plates with a little butter or oil.
4 Select the waffle setting by turning the thermostat knob to the waffle setting (fig. 14).
5 Insert the plug into the wall socket.
You can adjust the length of the cord by winding part of it round the brackets on the base of the
appliance.
6 The red power-on light and the green ready-to-cook light go on.
7 Pour the batter onto the lower waffle plate when the green ready-to-cook light has gone out
(fig. 15).
Pour about 100 ml of batter onto the lower Nordic waffle plate and about 180 ml of batter onto
the lower Belgian waffle plate.
8 Close the appliance (fig. 16).
Lower the upper plate carefully onto the batter WITHOUT clamping the plates.This will allow the
waffles to expand and gives a better end result.
Never leave the waffle maker unattended when it is switched on.
While cooking, the green light goes on and goes out from time to time as an indication that the
heating elements are switched on and off to maintain the correct temperature.
9 Open the waffle maker after 5-7 minutes
Check whether the waffles are golden brown.The cooking time required to obtain crispy, golden
brown waffles depends on the type of batter and your personal taste.
10 Removing the waffles (fig. 17).
Use a wooden or plastic utensil (e.g. a spatula) to remove the waffles from the waffle maker. Do not
use metal, sharp or abrasive kitchen utensils. Let the waffles cool down on a wire rack so that they
become crispy.
Longer cooking times will result in darker waffles, whereas shorter cooking times will give lighter
results.
To continue cooking, place the next batch of batter onto the waffle plate when the green ready-to-
cook light goes out.
11 Unplug the appliance after use.
