HOW TO USE YOUR WAFFLE IRON
For best results, follow these simple instructions. Note that when your waffle is new you
may notice some slight smoking or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances
and will not recur. This does not affect the safety of your appliance. Also it is recom-
mended that you discard the first waffle from your new baker.
1.
Before the first waffle of the day, use a pastry brush to carefully coat
the entire surface of both halves of the waffle baker with vegetable oil or
melted shortening. Spray shortenings work very well for this purpose.
Repeat this only at the start of each day that you bake waffles.
2.
Plug into a 120 V AC wall outlet. Allow the iron to heat on setting 7. The
indicator light will glow, indicating that the baker has begun preheating.
It will take approximately 5-8 minutes to reach baking temperature.
When baking temperature has been reached, the light will turn OFF. The
baker is now ready for baking. We suggest that you use setting 4 on
your first waffle and adjust for darkness.
3.
When the light is OFF, ladle just enough batter to fill the lower grid half
full so that the peak area of the waffle pattern is covered. If necessary,
a silicone spatula may be used to spread the batter evenly to be sure
the corners are filled properly.
4.
Close the baker. Cover will rise slightly as waffles begin to bake. Do not
open the cover or the waffles will split. The light will come ON during
baking. When it goes OFF, you can remove waffles. They should take
about 3 minutes to bake. If darker waffles are desired, let the waffles
remain to bake another ½ to 1 minute. For lighter waffles, remove in 2
½ to 3 minutes. Remove waffles with non-metallic fork or utensil.
5.
Reviewing the operation of the Light:
a.
Always wait until the light is OFF before pouring batter
b.
Once you pour batter & close waffle, the light will automatically
go ON
c.
Continue to bake
d.
Then, when the light goes OFF, waffles have reached an
“average” color and may be removed.
