Advises
TAKE CARE: Before making the first waffle or before each waffle-making session, lightly
grease the irons with a brush dipped in oil.
During a waffle-making session simply brush the irons over with the brush and do not add
any extra grease unless your waffles stick.
If it is difficult to remove the waffles, use a mixture made with one spoonful of oil and one
egg yolk.
If the appliance remains heated for a long time without being used, take the precaution of
lightly greasing the waffle iron plates, and close them.
Making waffles
Place the appliance on a flat and rigid surface. Do not use on any support liable to be
affected by heat.
Having first seasoned the irons (see
seasoning the irons
) start heating the appliance with the
thermostat set to the temperature recommended on your recipe and irons closed.
Depending on your waffle recipe, wait until the irons reach the right temperature.
