TROUBLESHOOTING

Problems	Possible solutions
No indicator light on	Check the connection to the wall socket. If the problem persists try connecting the unit to a different outlet.
The green indicator light is off	The green indicator light switches on when the appliance reaches the selected temperature, this can take 8 to 10 minutes. Check that there are no obstructions when you close the unit.
The waffles are not cooked properly	Ensure that the green indicator light is on when you add the batter. Once the batter is in the waffle maker, cook the waffles for 3 to 5 minutes, avoid opening the waffle maker too often because the heat escapes every time you open the appliance and this increases cooking time. Put the browning selector on the maximum position (position 5) if this is not already the case.
The waffles are poorly shaped or do not rise	Check that you have added enough batter in the baking compartments (fig 11). Check that you did not close the locking latch before cooking. It could be a problem with your recipe. In this case, please use the recipe above.
The batter overflows into the batter collector tray	Check that the tray is inserted properly (fig 3). When you bake several waffles, be careful not to exceed the MAX level on the dough collector tray.
