TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT
WAFFLES
We recommend setting #3 or #4 for golden
brown waffles, either from mix or homemade.
If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the
browning control.
For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the
center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to
the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.
We recommend using 1
1
⁄
2
cups (375 ml) batter
per waffle for most recipes.
Waffles are best when made to order, but
prebaked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F
(95°C) oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil
while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may
lose their crispiness.
Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool
completely; then place in plastic food storage
bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separat-
ed. Reheat in toaster or toaster oven when ready
to use.
SUGGESTED TOPPINGS
Maple syrup, fruit syrups

1
⁄
2
cups (375 ml) batter onto preheated waff l e
baker grid. Using a heat-proof spatula, spread batter
until evenly distributed. Allow batter to bubble for
5 - 10 seconds; then close cover of waffle baker.
Indicator light will turn red. When light turns green
again, waffle is ready. Open cover and carefully
remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
For best results, serve immediately. However, you
may keep waffles warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven until
ready to serve.

golden brown baked waffle. Adjust the browning
control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
