CLEANING, CARE AND 

MAINTENANCE

The waffle maker must be unplugged and 
completely cool before cleaning or storing. 
Leaving the front cover open will allow hot  
grids to cool more quickly.
To clean, simply brush crumbs from grooves  
or wipe with a dry cloth or paper towel.
You may also clean the grids by wiping with  
a damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking 
from batter or oil buildup. 

Be certain grids have cooled completely 
before cleaning.

 If batter adheres to plates, 

simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked-on 
batter and let stand for about 5 minutes. This will 
soften the batter for easy removal.
To clean exterior, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. 
Never use an abrasive cleaner or harsh pad. 

NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT  
IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
Maintenance

: All servicing should be performed 

by an authorized service representative.

STORAGE

The vertical design provides ultra-compact 
storage. Cord wraps around the base stand  
of the unit.

TIPS FOR MAKING  

PERFECT WAFFLES

•  Setting #1 will produce the lightest color 

waffles. Setting #5 will produce the darkest 
color waffles. Experiment to determine which 
setting produces your preferred shade. We 
recommend setting #3 for golden brown 
waffles.

•  We recommend using the provided batter cup; 

fill the cup completely and pour into the waffle 
maker. Keep in mind the batter will expand as 
it cooks, in most cases a full cup of batter is 
best.

•  Do not overfill the waffle maker – when using 

in the vertical position it should not be filled 
to the top of the waffle grid. Always use the 
provided measuring cup as a guide.

•  Thinner batters should be poured through 

 the fill spout in a slow, steady stream.  
Thicker batters and those with mix-ins,  
should be added to the waffle maker in the 
horizontal position.

•  Batters should be whisked well to be sure 

there are no lumps. If the batter is not flowing 
easily through the spout, it is too thick to add 
through the spout. Add these batters in the 
horizontal position.

•  Excess batter will rise into the fill spout 

creating an extra piece. This extra piece  
may be easily removed for serving.

•  Add extra flavour to the waffle batter by 

replacing a small amount of flour with your 
favourite finely ground nuts or stir in ¼ cup  
(60 ml) of fruity jam before cooking. Waffles  
will taste delicious and have beautiful colour!

•  Waffles are best when made fresh but may  

be kept warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven. Place 
them on a rack fitted into a baking pan or 
loosely cover with foil while in the oven.  
Be sure to avoid stacking waffles.

•  Baked waffles may be frozen for up to  

2 months. Allow to cool, place waxed paper 
between each waffle, cover in plastic wrap, 
and seal in a plastic freezer storage bag. 
Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven when  
ready to eat.

•  The provided batter cup rests neatly on 

the inside of the mixing bowl for clean 
countertops.
