COOKING IN THE
HORIZONTAL POSITION
NOTE:
Cooking in the horizontal position
is recommended for waffles with add-ins
(such as nuts, berries, sliced fruit, chocolate
chips) but this position can also be used to
make plain Belgian waffles.
1. Stand the closed waffle maker upright on a
clean, flat surface where you intend to use it
with the handle on the right side of the unit
(the knob will be facing you).
NOTE:
Be sure the front base of the waffle
maker is set back at least 8 inches from the
edge of the countertop or table. Refer to
Image 1 on page 4.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical
outlet. The red indicator light will turn on to
signal that the power is on, and the unit will
begin to heat up.
NOTE:
The first time you use your waffle
maker, it may have a slight odor and may
smoke a bit. This is normal for appliances
with nonstick surfaces.
3. Adjust the temperature knob to the desired
browning setting – select #1 for the lightest
shade of waffle and #5 for the darkest shade.
We recommend setting #3 for a golden
brown waffle. Refer to Image 2 on page 4.
4. Once the waffle maker has reached the
desired temperature, the green indicator
light will illuminate and 5 beeps will sound.
Using the stay-cool handle, rotate the waffle
maker to the horizontal position.
5. Using the batter cup provided, pour batter
into the center of the horizontal positioned
waffle maker and spread to the outer edges
using a heatproof spatula. The amount
of batter will vary slightly depending on
its thickness. Check Tips and Hints or the
provided recipe for the right amount of batter.
Once the batter is evenly spread, sprinkle on
your add-ins. Close the waffle plate securely
using the stay-cool handle.
NOTE:
During baking, you may notice steam
rising from the fill spout. This is normal and
is actually necessary to produce the waffle’s
crispy exterior and moist interior.
6. Baking time is determined by the browning
level that you chose in Step 3. Normal baking
time for shade #3 is about 3 minutes, but
depending on your waffle recipe, that may
vary. Lighter shades take a little less time;
darker shades a little more.
7. When the waffle is ready, the green light will
illuminate and 5 beeps will sound.
8. Open the waffle maker by lifting the stay-cool
handle upright when it’s in the horizontal
position. BE CAREFUL not to touch the hot
plate. Refer to Image 5 on page 5.
9. Remove the waffle by gently loosening
an edge with a heatproof plastic spatula,
wooden spatula or nonstick coated tongs.
Never use metal utensils, which will damage
the nonstick coating. Refer to Image 6 on
page 5.
10. Once cooked waffle is removed, you can
now proceed with cooking the next waffle.
11. When you are finished baking, turn the
temperature knob to the lowest setting and
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Allow the waffle maker to cool completely
before handling. Refer to Image 8 on page 5.
