Take a minute to identify the key features and controls of WafflePro

, (Figure 1) made of
high strength, high temperature engineering plastics with a polished stainless steel lid.
To open the lid, pull forward the front latch and lift by the insulated front plastic handle. Electronic
controls are on the control panel, Figure 2.
Take a moment to understand the use of 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.
Above 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 that the waffle plate is at baking
temperature or that the waffle is “Ready” to be removed and 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 dial is graduated numerically. The waffle will be darker or lighter in color depending
on the exact setting of this wheel and the position of the rocker switch. This control wheel is relatively
sensitive and fractional numerical changes can make a notable difference in color. The optimum
exact setting for the color control depends on the type of waffle you are baking. To darken the waffle,
move toward a higher number; to lighten, turn to a lower number.
A unique suspension system allows the lid to raise evenly in order 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
®
Express
®
secured by clips molded under the base.
The WafflePro

Express

can be stored upright to save shelf space. Simply close the lid and stand it
upright resting on the flat hinged end.
