Frequently Asked Questions

Does the appliance need time to heat up?
Yes. The appliance will preheat automatically when plugged into an electrical outlet. The
green Indicator Light illuminates when preheating is finished and cooking can begin.
How hot does this appliance get?
The temperature range is 302° F–374° F (150° C–190° C).
How will I know when cooking is complete?
Check your food after 5–7 minutes.
How much waffle batter do I need?
The appliance can hold approximately 1 ½ cups of batter for an unstuffed waffle. Stuffed
waffles use less batter. The batter should only fill to about three quarters of the way to
the top of the inside of the appliance. Expect the batter to expand during the cooking
process.
Can I make a waffle with no filling?
Yes. You will need approximately 1 ½ cups of batter for the appliance. Quantities of batter
may vary depending on your recipe and the batter used. Stuffed waffles will use less batter.
Never fill the interior of the appliance above three-quarters capacity. Refer to the recipe
guide for examples of the amounts of batter used with different fillings.
Why did batter leak out of the sides during the cooking cycle?
Too much batter was added.
Why are there gaps in my waffle or why is my filling not covered?
Not enough batter was added before or after adding the filling.
Why is the waffle not crispy?
You can leave your waffle in the appliance longer to cook it more, making it crispier.
Can I use gluten-free or keto waffle batter in this appliance?
Yes. Gluten-free flour can be used to make batters to use in the appliance. Follow your
recipe.
Can I use puréed fruit like applesauce in place of oil in the batter recipes?
Yes, waffles can be made successfully using puréed fruit as a substitute for oil.
When I lift the baked waffle, the waffle separates and only the top half of the waffle
comes out. What I am doing wrong?
The waffle may have too much filling, the filling might not be centered, the waffle has
not been baked long enough, or not enough batter has been used. Make sure the filling
is centered so that the edges of the waffle can seal when it cooks. Bake the waffle for
another 30 seconds to 1 minute to allow the waffle to cook through.
How do I stop operation/cool the appliance?
You must unplug the appliance to stop the heating process and allow at least 30 minutes
to cool.
What happens if the appliance still does not work after I have tried all the
troubleshooting suggestions?
Never attempt home repair. Contact Customer Service and follow the procedures set
forth by the manual. Failure to do so could render your guarantee null and void.
