3 Close waffle maker and rotate unit 180º to the right
(clockwise). Do not open for at least 1
the lid too soon will cause under-baked waffles to split,
making them difficult to remove.
4 When the green light goes on again, rotate waffle maker 180º
to the left (counterclockwise). Your waffles should be done
according to the Waffle Temperature Control setting that
you've chosen. If you want them darker, close the lid and
continue baking until the desired color is achieved.
5 Remove waffles from the grid using non-metallic utensils.
6 If additional baking is to be done, close waffle maker to
retain heat. Always be sure the green light goes on again
before making more waffles.
7 If you need to take a short break, close waffle maker to
maintain heat. When you return to baking, you will notice
that the first waffles will bake faster because extra heat has
been allowed to build up.
8 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being
used by or near children.
9 When baking is complete, simply unplug the power cord
from wall outlet. Leave waffle maker open to cool. Do not
clean until unit has cooled.
Waffle Baking Tips
1 Set the Waffle Temperature Control to your desired setting.
At first, try a setting in the middle. You may later adjust
it lower or higher according to your preference. A lower
setting produces a lighter colored waffle, while waffles
made at a higher setting are darker and crisper. Different
waffle batters will also cook up differently. Over time, you
will find your perfect setting for the batter you use.
2 When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles
will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry
ingredients disappear.

3 The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped
waffle, without overflowing, will vary with different waffle
batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you
gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid
of waffle maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of
the grid.
4 For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to
outer edge of grid, using a heat proof rubber spatula or
other non-metallic utensil before closing lid.
5 Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more
tender than regular waffles, and may require more care
when removing from waffle maker. You may want to break
these waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use
a spatula to support waffles when removing from the
waffle maker.
6 To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling
rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
7 When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles
hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F
oven until ready to serve.
8 Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped,
individually, by returning to hot waffle maker. Set Waffle
Temperature Control to low. Place waffle on grid so grooves
match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching
carefully to prevent burning.
9 Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack.
Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container,
separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles
in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
