NOTE:
The timer works independently from the unit; it does not turn power to the unit on or off.
5. Close the waffle maker (Fig. D). While grasping both handles, flip the unit over 180° (Fig. E and Fig. F).
6. The waffle maker will beep five times when the set time has expired. Open the waffle maker and, using
a fork, spear the side of the waffle and lift it from the grids.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for additional waffles.
8. Unplug waffle maker when cooking is completed.
Helpful Hints
♦ If desired, packaged waffle mixes may be prepared and baked in the Presto
®
waffle maker. Batter made
from some packaged mixes may have a shorter baking time, so it is recommended that you check for
doneness after 2 minutes. A good indication that the waffle is done is when steam escaping from the
waffle maker stops.
♦ Waffle batters, whether using mixes or homemade recipes, will vary and therefore the amount of batter
needed for an evenly filled waffle, without overflow, will vary. It is recommended that when making
the first waffle you use a measuring cup to gauge how much batter is needed. Generally between
¾ and 1 cup works best. Never use more than 1 cup of batter. If you get some overflow, be sure to use
less batter for the next waffle.
♦ For batters that don’t flow when poured onto the waffle grid, use a heat-resistant spatula and spread
out the batter evenly to the edges of the grid.
♦ Dessert batters may require an application of vegetable oil to the waffle grids before cooking the first
waffle and as needed for additional waffles. Excessive use of oil can damage the nonstick coating and
over time may even cause sticking.
♦ No-stick cooking sprays are not recommended for seasoning the waffle maker as they may leave a tacky residue. In addition, the
waffle may have a mottled appearance instead of the even brown appearance as when using vegetable oil.
♦ Keep waffles warm and crisp until serving by placing them in a single layer directly on a rack in a 200°F oven.
♦ If you have leftover waffles, freeze them. Cool extra waffles to room temperature. Place them between layers of waxed paper in a
resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, pop the frozen waffles into your toaster or reheat
in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
