belongs to the Krups line of high-
quality, top-performing appliances,
and offers the following features:
Extra-thick cooking plates for making
two rectangular, Belgian-style waffles
On/Off light indicates at a glance that
appliance is on

Before you start

Clean the surface of the plates with a
damp cloth. Wipe dry.
Do not immerse appliance in water.
Before your first use, lightly coat the
cooking plates with butter, margarine,
vegetable oil, or a non-stick cooking
spray. If after several uses the waffles
begin to stick, re-coat the plates.
Using the Krups
Belgian Waffle Maker
Close the waffle maker and plug into
outlet.
Both the On/Off light and the Ready
light will illuminate (figure 1).
Allow the appliance to pre-heat.
After approximately 5 minutes, the
ready light will turn off. This indicates
that the waffle maker is fully pre-
heated and ready to bake (figure 2).
Open the appliance and pour the
batter into the bottom plate. Be sure
to completely fill the plate (figure 3).
6
Carefully lower the top plate onto the
bottom plate (figure 4).
Do not force the appliance shut. While
baking never lock the two halves
together with the clip.
Note: During baking, the Ready light
will cycle on and off. This indicates that
the thermostat is maintaining the
proper baking temperature.
Most waffles will be ready in 3-8
minutes. Adjust this time to suit your
individual preference.
When the waffles are done, open the
waffle maker and remove waffles
using a plastic or wooden spatula
(figure 5).
Never use a metal knife, as this may
damage the non-stick coating.
Close the lid. If you are making
additional waffles, do not add batter
until the temperature has adjusted to
the proper baking temperature and the
ready light has extinguished. After use,
unplug appliance and allow to cool.

Helpful Hints

- Always allow waffle maker to preheat
before use.
- Thicker batters will produce waffles
that are crispier on the outside and
moist on the inside.
- Be careful not to over-mix batter; this
will produce dense, chewy waffles.
- Cooking times will vary depending on
the thickness of the batter.
We therefore recommend that you
carefully monitor the cooking time
(begin to check them after 3 minutes),
and adjust to your individual
preference.
- Serve waffles immediately after
baking; if left to sit, they will absorb
moisture and become soggy.
