NON-COATED Grids:
Prior to first use of a new baker, non-coated grids must be seasoned for at least 1½
to 2 hours for proper operation. Spray grids with Seas'n-Kleen; close the baker and wait 20 to 30
minutes. Open the baker; notice the grids are starting to turn dark. Repeat this process 3 to 4
times until fully seasoned. No silver will be visible on fully seasoned grids.
To Season Baker Grids:
Follow the steps below to season baker grids prior to start-up for the day (and for
the initial seasoning of coated grids):
1.
Flip the Power Switch ON and allow the baker to pre-heat.
2.
Open grids and lightly spray Seas'n-Kleen (Gold Medal Item No. 5524CN) on the grid surfaces.
3.
Close the grids, then press the Start Button and allow the grids to season through one cook
cycle without product.
4.
If sticking occurs during baker operation, lightly re-spray Seas'n-Kleen on the grid surfaces.
Batter Preparation
While the baker is pre-heating, prepare the Waf-A-Cone Mix (Gold Medal Item No. 8212, six 5 lb. bags per
case) or Old Fashion Waf-A-Cone Mix (Gold Medal Item No. 8209) according to the instructions below.
1.
Place 40 oz. of water into a bowl and add (1) 5 lb. bag of mix.
2.
Stir with wire whisk until smooth.
3.
Rest batter 10 minutes.
4.
A 2 oz. ladle makes one 8 inch cone (one cup makes 5 cones).
Baking Instructions for Digital Units
Once the baker is pre-heated and the grids are seasoned accordingly, the unit is ready to bake.
Note:
The unit takes approximately 1 minute (1:00) to bake. Cook time varies based on the
mix that is used. To adjust the product cook time, see Changing Cook Time and
Temperature Set Point section of this manual.
1.
Open the grid assembly and lightly season both grids with Seas'n-(for non-stick coated grid
models, only spray as needed).
2.
Use a 2 oz. ladle to dispense batter into the center of the lower grid.
3.
Close the top grid and press the Start Button. The digital display will show the cook time
countdown. When the countdown is complete, the unit will beep and the display will return to
the temperature view (unless the time display was selected).
4.
When the unit beeps, remove cone from grill and form immediately using the Easy Waffle Cone
Roller (Gold Medal Item #5028).
5.
Be sure cone is pushed down into the bottom of the cone roller to make a closed end (this
keeps the cone from leaking).
6.
Grids should be re-seasoned as needed during baking and after each cleaning.
Note:
Keep the grids closed between baking periods for best baking performance. Use a soft
bristled brush to remove any cone residue from grids while baking.
