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 coat-
ing, 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.
