BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using for the first time, the hotplates should be cleaned with a moist cloth.
We recommend lightly greasing the hotplates when using the appliance for the first time. This will
not be necessary on subsequent occasions.
The first two waffles should not be eaten.
MAKING WAFFLES
1.
Insert the plug into a standard electrical outlet. Make sure that the voltage to be used agrees
with the rated voltage of your appliance.
2.
Close the waffle iron and prepare waffle batter while the waffle iron heats up. Set the
thermostat regulator to the desired setting.
3.
The power (red), indicator lights will light up. When the green indicator lights up (after about
4 minutes), the waffle iron is ready for baking.
4.
Open the appliance and pour the waffle batter onto the centre of the lower hotplates. Using
the included ladle will result in the correct amount of batter being used. Close the appliance
carefully. Do not force shut. Steam may be ejected from between the hotplates.
5.
When the green indicator light turns off, the red indicator light will light. After few minutes
the green light will light up and the waffle is ready.
6.
If you think the waffle is too light or too dark, adjust the thermostat.
NOTE:
Care must be taken to ensure that fingers do not come into contact with the hotplates.
During baking, the ready light will turn on and off as the thermostat keeps the waffle iron
at the right temperature.
Your waffle will bake in about 2 minutes or longer depending on your personal tastes.
When baking is finished, open the waffle iron and remove the waffle with a plastic or
wooden spatula. Never use a metal knife as this may damage the non-stick coating. The
appliance should be kept closed in-between baking waffles.
After use, remove the plug from the wall socket.
HELPFUL HINTS
1.
Always preheat the waffle iron before baking. Plug the waffle iron in first, and prepare the
batter while the waffle iron is heating.
2.
If you want lightly colored waffles, remove them before the READY light goes off. Or if you
prefer darker colored waffles, leave them in a little while longer.
3.
If the lid resists lifting allow the waffle to bake a little longer, and then try lifting the lid again.
4.
If the waffle sticks to the top cooking plates, remove them with a plastic or wooden spatula.
5.
Let waffle cool slightly on an oven grate before eating to avoid possible burns.
6.
Top baked waffles with different fruits or ice cream to create your own specialties.
7.
The included ladle measures out the correct amount of batter.
8.
These waffle irons hotplates are a new, revolutionary design. The coned design ensures that
the batter is evenly distributed and that all the air is pressed out of the waffle iron. It is
therefore not necessary to spread out the waffle batter using a ladle or similar. This is done
automatically when you close the waffle iron.
