USING WafflePro
®
Express
®
FOR FIRST TIME
Insert the power cord into a grounded 120 volt outlet and close the cover. The red “baking” light will
turn on indicating the waffle plates are heating. Set the color control dial to between 2 and 3. You
can shorten the warm-up time by pressing the top of the black circular rocker switch adjacent to the
marking “Crisp Exterior/ Moist Interior.”
In about 3½ 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). Because both of the baking surfaces are factory finished with an anti-stick coating, it
is necessary to oil the surfaces only before the first time you use the WafflePro
®
Express
®
and after
long periods of storage. It should not be necessary to otherwise oil again.
Pour about ½ 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
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 only 3½ 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
