Possible Cause
Solution
I see smoke and detect an odor
during my first use.
My waffles are too light.
My waffles are too dark.
Cannot adjust the COLOR
Cannot see the CRISP light.
Waffle batter is running out of
the plates
The countdown timer is not
running.
I do not see a Blue Ready Light
The Waffle Baker is still preheating.
It will take approximately 5 minutes for the plates to preheat.
Once the Waffle Baker is preheated and you pressed the START button,
the Blue Ready Light will turn off. The light will come back on once the
set time expires.
The Waffle Baker has already
preheated and is now in cooking
mode.
You have not pressed the START
button once the Blue Ready Light
has illuminated indicating that the
plates are preheated.
Once preheated and you added your batter, press START to begin the
timer, and plates will rotate automatically after about 10 seconds.
You have used too much batter
As a general rule, 1 cup of batter is sufficient to cover the bottom plate.
In addition, different batters provide different results, some are thicker
than others and may require more or less than 1 cup.
Waffle batter is not evenly spread
across the plates.
Ensure that your batter is evenly distributed throughout the bottom
plate before closing,.
The blue CRISP light is located
under the CRISP button.
Press the CRISP button and remove your finger to see the Blue
Indicator light.
The Timer is in Preheat mode.
The Color cannot be adjusted until the plates are fully preheated and the
Blue Ready Light is on.
You have already pressed the
START button
You cannot adjust the COLOR when the countdown timer has already
started. To adjust the COLOR once the timer has already started press
the RESET button to stop the timer and press the COLOR button to
adjust. Once the new time is selected press START to begin the
cooking process.
