5. Set the timer by pressing the button (Fig. A) to the desired time. See the recipes on page 4
for recommended cooking times. Most waffle recipes will take about 3 minutes. note: The
timer has a delay start; it will automatically begin counting down approximately 2 seconds
after it is set.
To reset the timer, simply hold the button for a couple of seconds and the timer will reset
to zero.
note: The timer works independently from the unit; it does not turn power to the unit on or
off.
6. Close the waffle maker (Fig. D) and while grasping both handles flip the unit over 180˚ (Fig.
E and Fig. F).
7. The waffle maker will beep five times when the set time has expired. open the waffle maker
and carefully remove the waffle using a fork or tongs.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 for additional waffles.
9. 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 recom-
mended that you check for doneness after 2 minutes.
✽
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.
✽
no-stick cooking sprays may be used to season the waffle maker. however, the waffle may not have a nice brown ap-
pearance like you get when using cooking oil. Instead, the waffle may have a mottled appearance.
✽
Because the grids are covered with a nonstick coating, there will be only an occasional need to apply vegetable oil or
a no-stick cooking spray. Dessert batters may require an application of vegetable oil or no-stick cooking spray to the
waffle grids before cooking the first waffle and as needed for additional waffles.
✽
Keep waffles warm and crisp until serving by placing them in a single layer directly on a rack in a 200˚ 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˚ for about 10 minutes.
