Before First Use
• Remove all packaging material and check whether the appliance is complete.
• Place the appliance on an even, non-slippery and heat resistant surface.
• Fully unwind the power cord (5) and connect the appliance to a properly installed wall socket.
The waffle plates (4) have a protective coating. To remove the protective layers on the heating elements, heat
up the appliance (without food) for approx. 10 minutes.
Slightly grease the heating plates with some cooking oil before using the device for the first time. This helps
to seal the heating plates and must only be carried out once.
This could cause a slight build-up of smoke and odour. This doesn't cause any harm nor does it mean that
your appliance does not work properly. Make sure that the room is well ventilated!
After this preheating process, your waffle maker is ready for operation. Let it completely cool down and clean
it as described under Cleaning and Care.
Warning: Plastic bags are a danger to toddlers and babies, therefore keep them away to avoid
suffocation.
Operation

touch the appliance during and/or immediately after operation.

until ready.
Open the waffle maker a bit to see whether your waffle is brown enough. If not, let the waffle bake some
more.
