Baking Waffles
WAFFLEMAKER PARTS
NOTE: Be sure you have “conditioned” the cooking surfaces (See
“IMPORTANT Before First Use”).
Ready-to-
1. Close the lid and plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet. The
Power Light will come on to indicate
Cook
Light
the unit is heating. Use the preheat
A
time (about 41⁄2 minutes) to
prepare your batter. When the
Ready-to-Cook Light cycles on,
the unit is preheating (A).
2. Open the unit, pour 1⁄2 cup of batter
onto the lower cooking surface, and spread it

Handles
evenly over the entire lower surface. (Pouring more than this will cause
excess batter to seep out over the edges.)
3. Carefully close the top. Keep hands away from the unit as steam
escapes during baking. The Ready-to-Cook Light will cycle on and off
during baking to maintain temperature. Cooking time is about 4-6
minutes, depending on the type of batter/ingredients you used and the
amount of browning and crispness you’d like.
4. Use a timer for accurate waffle cooking. Avoid opening the unit during
the baking cycle as this may cause the waffle to stick or split.
5. When the waffle is done and the steam has stopped escaping, open the
top and use a fork to remove the waffle. Be careful not to scratch the
non-stick coating with the fork. If the waffle sticks, lightly re-oil the
cooking surfaces.
6. Since this wafflemaker semi-cuts the waffle into 4 sections, you may
want to have a plate nearby when removing the waffle in case it
separates into parts. Keep the lid closed between cooking batches of
waffles to preserve heat.
7. When all waffles are baked, unplug the cord, open the unit, and allow it
to cool before cleaning.

Helpful Hints
1. Belgian waffles are great for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or desserts.
Consider the following toppings to create tasty treats: sliced fruits or
berries, syrup or honey, whipped cream, ice cream, jelly or jam,
powdered sugar, or fruit yogurt.
2. Baked waffles freeze well. Cook all the batter. Cool the waffles and
place paper towels between them. Wrap them in plastic wrap or freezer
bags, and freeze. No need to defrost them when you want to reheat
frozen waffles. Just heat them in a toaster or toaster oven.
3. If a waffle sticks and splits when you try to open the lid, close the
wafflemaker and continue baking until the waffle is crisp (another
minute or so). Crisp waffle pieces are easier to remove from the
cooking grids.
HOW TO USE
1. Open the unit by lifting the Handle. The top section will rest in a vertical
position (See Call Out). The hinge between the sections is designed to
be loose. This allows the waffle to rise evenly and for steam to escape.
2. IMPORTANT Before First Use: Condition the non-stick cooking
surfaces with a light coating of cooking oil before first use. Do not use
non-stick cooking spray. Thoroughly brush the oil onto the cooking
surfaces or wipe on with a paper towel. Be sure to coat the cooking
surfaces. Wipe OFF excess oil with paper towels. You only need to do
this the FIRST time you use this appliance.
