using your waffle maker
Before first use
• Unpack your waffle maker. You may wish to keep the packaging for future use.
• Remove and wash the waffle plates thoroughly to remove any impurities or residues
that may be left over from the manufacturing process (follow the directions under
Care and Cleaning
).
• Clean the outside of your waffle maker with a soft damp cloth. The cover can be
polished with a soft dry cloth.
Note that the first time you use your waffle maker, you may notice a slight burning smell
and a little smoke. This is completely normal and will soon disappear.
DuraCeramic
™
coated waffle plates
The waffle plates feature the exclusive DuraCeramic
™
coating. This specialised natural
ceramic coating is designed to transfer heat quicker and more efficiently than standard
non-stick coatings – meaning faster cooking times for your delicious home-cooked
snacks. In addition, the DuraCeramic
™
coating is scratch resistant – this is a product built
to last. Peace of mind comes from the fact that the DuraCeramic
™
coating is PTFE and
PFOA free, so this exclusive coating is durable
and
easy to clean.

Using your waffle maker
Take care around hot surfaces. The waffle plates get very hot. DO NOT touch
any parts, or attempt to remove or replace the waffle plates until completely
cooled.
Steam may escape from around the waffle maker during cooking. Never leave your
waffle maker unattended while in use.
1. Plug your waffle maker into the mains supply socket and switch the socket on if
required. The green power light will come on and your waffle maker will start heating
up.
2. When your waffle maker is fully heated the amber ready-to-cook light will come on.
This light will come on and go out during cooking.
3. Unclip the latch on the handle and open the lid.
4. Carefully pour your batter mix into the bottom waffle plate. For the perfect waffle, we
recommend you pour a ladleful (about 75ml) into the centre of each grid of the waffle
plate. Make sure you don’t overfill the waffle plate as the mixture may spill over the
edges of the plate.
5. Close the lid. DO NOT clip the latch shut during cooking. This allows the waffle to rise
and the steam to release (you may notice the lid lift slightly as the waffle rises). Cook
the waffle according to the recipe time.
6. When cooked, open the lid. Watch out for escaping steam – we recommend that you
use a tea towel or wear oven gloves. Remove the waffle with a non-metallic spatula.
Don’t use a metal blade as this can damage the DuraCeramic
™
surface of the plates.
7. Unplug your waffle maker from the mains supply socket. Do not leave the waffle
maker plugged in when not in use.
