getting to Know the wafflepro
®
Take a minute to identify the key features and controls of the WafflePro
®
, (Figure 1) made of high
strength, high temperature engineering plastics with a polished stainless steel lid.
To open the lid, lift by the insulated front plastic handle. Electronic controls are on the control panel,
Figure 2.
Particularly important is the circular black Rocker Switch, Figures 1 and 2. Press the upper portion
of the rocker switch for a fast bake and for waffles with “Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior”, or press at
the bottom of the rocker switch for a deep bake and for waffles that have a more “Uniform Texture”
throughout.
Below the rocker switch is a red light marked “Baking” to indicate when the waffle plates are being
heated. Below that is a green light marked “Ready” to indicate either the waffle plate is at baking
temperature or the waffle is “Ready” to be served.
An audible “Ready Beeper” sounds when the green light comes on to further indicate when the waffle
is ready to serve.
The color control wheel is graduated numerically. The waffle will be darker or lighter in color depend-
ing on the exact setting of this wheel and the position of the rocker switch. This control wheel is rela-
tively sensitive and fractional numerical changes can make a notable difference in color. The common
operating range for the color control is 3½ to 5. To darken the waffle, move toward a higher number.
The lid has a unique hinge that allows the back of the lid to raise slightly as needed to maintain a
uniform thickness of the waffle as it bakes and rises.
Provision has been made for cord storage as described in Storage Section. The cord can be stored
under the WafflePro
®
with its end secured in a slot molded into the base.
The WafflePro
®
can be stored upright to save shelf space. Simply close the lid and stand it upright
resting on the flat hinged end.

switch adjacent to the marking “Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior.”
