4. The red light will come on indicating the waffle is baking.
5. When the waffle is ready the red light goes off, the green light comes on, and the beeper
sounds briefly.
6. Lift the lid and inspect the waffle. If you want a slightly browner waffle, close the lid and cook
for another 20 seconds or so.
7. When the color is right, remove waffle with a plastic spatula or fork. As needed increase or
decrease the color control for the next cycle. Once you establish the optimum color setting, it
will not require any change in the future unless you alter the waffle recipe or switch to “Crisp
Exterior/Moist Interior.”
8. Add batter for the next waffle or close lid until you are again ready to bake. The green light will
remain on until WafflePro
®
cools slightly. Then the red light will alternately come on to keep the
grids hot until you are ready for the next waffle.
9. When finished baking, be certain to unplug the WafflePro
®
. Only then is the power to the waffle
maker switched off.
Always
unplug the WafflePro
®
immediately after use. Never leave it unattended when plugged in. Children
should not be allowed to use a waffle maker except in the presence of an attentive adult.
The WafflePro
®
cools faster when its lid is left fully open. Store only when cold. Save shelf space by
storing the WafflePro
®
upright resting on its hinged flat end.

Superb waffles begin with a good recipe but depend on a versatile waffle maker to fully develop
the flavor, texture and aroma of the batter. A perfect waffle is no accident. It is the combination of a
brownish crisp exterior and an interior texture baked the way you like it. Some of us prefer a waffle
with a moist interior like freshly baked bread. Such a waffle has the greatest flavor and aroma. Others
want a uniformly crunchy waffle, one that is baked slowly with less interior moisture. You may like to
bake breakfast waffles that are crisp on the outside and fluffy inside but you may want a chocolate
dessert waffle, destined to be served with a scoop of ice cream, that is crunchy throughout.
The WafflePro
®
incorporates the unique Quad
®
baking system to ensure a waffle baked the way you
prefer. You select either a fast bake or a deep bake. Then you select a color control setting. And the
color control adjusts for either baking setting to give you a toasty, brown exterior and the interior
texture you want.
The Quad
®
baking system on the WafflePro
®
works this way. The “Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior” set-
ting gives you a fast bake while the “Uniform Texture” setting gives a slow deep bake. The Color
Control setting controls the surface temperature of the waffle and determines its color.
To get a crisp exterior with a contrasting steamy aromatic interior, you need a waffle iron with a fast
bake. The WafflePro
®
is unique among all waffle makers in its ability to cook rapidly enough to create
this delectable combination.
waffle ingredientS and teChniqueS
Sugar in waffle batter enhances the browning of the waffle especially on the surface where the tem-
peratures are highest. If your diet permits, a small amount of sugar can do wonders for the waffles.
Cornmeal in waffle batter adds extra crunch. Only a few tablespoons are needed to add texture.
Butter and oil enhance flavor and can increase the darkening of the waffle. But, too much of these
liquids inhibits surface browning.
Eggs add their own flavor to the mix and importantly they reduce the tendency of waffles to “split”.
