Cloer Cloer-120, Cloer-181, Cloer-171 Manual

Technical Data

Before the first use

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time.

• Remove all packing parts and possibly stickers, but not the type plate nor the serial number.
• Place the waffle maker on a dry, non-slip, even surface.
• Clean the baking surfaces with a moist cloth before heating appliance the first time.
• If you use recipes calling for starch or milk, grease the appliance occasionally to keep the waffles from sticking.
• For reasons of hygiene, please do not consume the first 2 waffles.

Due to production residues smoke can occure in the first minutes. For that reason take care of a good aeration during first heating up.

EC Label / Safety information

The appliance meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives.

The appliance is designed for indoor domestic use only.

ATTENTION! Always unplug the appliance when not in use and before cleaning.

• Use only wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils to remove the waffles in order to prevent the non-stick coating from being scratched.
• Appliances with white or light-coloured plastic parts or casings generally take on a brownish hue after a short time. This is caused by the steam from baking and cannot be avoided.

Preheating

Plug the appliance into the wall socket. Set the controller to 1 to preheat the appliance. Preheating in a higher level should be avoided in order not to overheat the coat.

ATTENTION!
Appliance becomes hot. Do not touch any part of the appliance except the handles or the operating elements.

1. Appliance with audible signal and indicator lights (type 18)
   • The red control lamp lights up.
   • After some minutes the control lamp goes out and the green control lamp lights up. An audible signal appears.
2. Appliance with indicator lights (type 12, 17)
   • The red control lamp lights up.
   • After some minutes the control lamp goes out and the green control lamp lights up.
   • An audible signal appears.

Baking

• After the preheating the browning regulator can be adjusted as desired. Select a low setting for light waffles or a high setting for dark waffles. The first waffle does not exactly correspond to the browning level selected, for this reason, you should wait until the following waffle before changing the browning level.
• Fill the dough in the rear part of the waffle maker, close the appliance and press down the handles. This way, the dough will spread even over the surface. Once the orange light is on you do not need to continue pressing anymore. The filling process should be quick, otherwise the waffle will not be even browned in both sides.

1. Appliance with audible signal and indicator lights (type 18)
   Shortly after having filled in the batter the green control lamp goes out. The red control lamp lights up. After termination of the baking process the red control lamp goes out and the green one lights up again. The beep signals: The waffle is ready.
2. Appliance with indicator lights (type 12, 17)
   Shortly after having filled in the batter the green control lamp goes out. The red control lamp lights up. After termination of the baking process the red control lamp goes out, and the green one lights up again. The waffle is ready.
   • Remove the waffles from the appliance as soon as they are done baking.
   • Use a wooden fork.
   • Place the waffles next to each other on a baking grill to cool.

Cleaning

• Use a paper towel to clean the appliance while still warm.
• Tip: Place two absorbent paper towels between the baking surfaces and close the appliance.
• Afterwards, wipe the waffle maker with a damp cloth, but never under running water.
• Do not use caustic cleaning agents.

10 Rules with Heart for Waffle Baking

1. S tore the butter, eggs and water at room temperature for a few hours before baking.
2. Whip the eggs together with the sugar and flavourings in a food processor until they have more than doubled in volume. Then add the butter.
3. Mix only the last third of the flour with the indicated amount of tartar baking powder. We recommend tartar baking powder as it has no undertaste.
4. Use mineral water instead of milk. Carbonated mine-ral water has the same effect as baking powder and makes the waffles particularly fluffy.
5. Always alternate flour and water in the batter. Add only enough flour each time to stir it in completely. Avoid the flour coming into direct contact with water, as this will cause lumps to form in the dough.
6. The dough is ready when the consistency is thick and flows well from the spoon.
7. Only add ingredients such as almonds and nuts to the dough at the end.
8. Leave the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than an hour. The dough will thicken during this time. After the resting time, do not stir and consume all at once. Storing the dough for too long will diminish the baking results.
9. Grease the waffle iron only before baking the first waffle. Additional greasing before making further waffles is generally not required for most waffle doughs.
10. Place the cooked waffles on a cooling rack place. Please do not stack them, otherwise they will become soft on the surface. Waffles taste best when served fresh.
