By following these simple step-by-step instructions, you will have PetiteCones
in no time!
1. Please make sure you have read over the preceding text "Getting to know the PetiteCone
Express™" in order to familiarize yourself with the key features of operation.
2. Insert the PetiteCone Express™ power cord into a grounded 120 volt, 60 cycle outlet and
close and latch the cover. It is best to use your machine on a flat, dry surface. A clean

touching any part of the plates or hot metal. Instead, open and close the machine by
correctly using the plastic latch system.

the PetiteCone Express™ is manufactured with a high quality non-stick surface, it is still
necessary to season it the first time you use it by applying a light coating of vegetable
oil to both the upper and lower plates. You can accomplish this task by using a lightly
greased paper towel, a basting brush or cooking spray. Please note that you may detect
a slight odor when the machine is first heated. This is typical of new heating elements
with non-stick surfaces.

out the batter and can also be used for fill-

the perfect cone from your baked waffles, a

The keys to baking successful waffles are
placing the proper amount of batter onto the
molds, making sure the batter is the proper
consistency and baking the waffle at the right
temperature. If you overfill the molds, the
batter will most likely spread beyond each
mold, forming one big waffle. Separating the
waffles and rolling three cones before they
