warm-up time by pressing the left side of the black round rocker switch to the “Crisp Exterior/Moist
Interior” setting.
In about 5 minutes the red light will turn off, the green Ready light will turn on and the Beeper will
sound indicating the waffle plates are up to temperature and ready for baking. On the first heating
you may sense a slight odor during the heat-up cycle, typical of new heating elements with non-stick
surface coatings.
When “Ready”, open the lid and brush or spray a light coating of non stick vegetable or corn oil on
the entire surface area of both the upper and lower heated grids (or you may use non-stick cooking
spray that does
not
contain lecithin). Because both of the baking surfaces are factory finished with
an non-stick coating, it is necessary to oil the surfaces only before the first time you use the Classic
WafflePro
®
and after long periods of storage. It should not be necessary to otherwise oil again.
Pour about 1 cup of waffle batter onto the middle of the lower grid and close the lid. Discard the first
waffle as it will absorb any excess oil which you used on the grids.
WARM UP AND BAKING PROCEDURE
If the Classic WafflePro
®
has not been used before, follow instructions above for “Using Classic
WafflePro
®
for First Time.”
If you are looking for a good recipe, see “Some Favorite Recipes”, (page 9).
WARM-UP
Plug the power cord into a grounded 120 volt outlet. Set the rocker switch to “Crisp Exterior/Moist
Interior” to begin the heat-up cycle. This setting places maximum heat on the waffle grids and they
will warm up in about 5 minutes. If the switch is set to Uniform Texture, warm up time will be about
twice that long. The red “Baking” light will come on when the WafflePro
®
is plugged in. Set the
color control dial between 2 and 3. When the heat-up period is complete the red light will go off,
the green “Ready” light will come on and the beeper will briefly sound to remind you the grid is up
to temperature and ready for you to begin baking. When the green light comes on, the heaters are
deactivated until the grids cool slightly below the baking temperature.
Keep hands away from the hot stainless cover and grid surfaces. Touch only the control panel and
the handle provided.
