WAFFLE MAKING TIPS

When making waffle batter, mix just until large lumps disappear. Overmixing can make waffles tough. Adding mix-ins, such as fruit or chocolate chips, may take some experimenting. Try mixing them into a single waffle’s worth of batter at first to judge the ratio of batter to mix-in.

• Do not open the waffle maker during the first minute of cooking, as the waffle may separate.
• If the top of the waffle maker resists when attempting to lift it after cooking a waffle, allow the waffle to cook for longer in 30-second increments.
• Waffle results will vary based on the brand of waffle mix or recipe used.
• If not serving waffles right away, keep them warm in a 200°F oven. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and transfer waffles to the rack so air can flow beneath, keeping the waffles crisp.
• Cooked waffles freeze well. Let waffles cool completely, then transfer to a zip-top plastic bag or wrap in aluminum foil. Unwrap and reheat waffles in a toaster, toaster oven, or oven.

HOW TO USE THE ANTI-OVERFLOW WAFFLE MAKER

• Prepare your waffle batter.
• Plug in the waffle maker. The red POWER light will come on.
• Select the desired shade setting from MIN (lightest) to MAX (darkest).
• Use the included measuring cup to scoop the batter. TIP: Use 160 ml for thick batter and 125 ml for thin batter.
• When the blue READY light comes on, carefully open the lid by pinching the latch handle.
• Pour the batter into the center of the lower cooking plate and close the lid. The blue READY light will turn off while the waffle cooks.
• When the blue READY light comes back on, carefully open the lid. WARNING: When opening the lid, hot steam may escape and cause burns.
• Carefully remove the cooked waffle. (Do not use metal utensils as they can scratch the nonstick surface.)
• To make more waffles, brush away any crumbs, then close the lid and let the waffle maker reheat until the blue READY light comes back on before adding more batter.
• When finished making waffles, unplug the waffle maker to turn it off. Let it cool completely before cleaning and storing in a cool, dry place.

HOW TO USE THE ANTI-OVERFLOW WAFFLE MAKER

It’s easy to make thick, light, and crisp waffles with no mess using the Anti-Overflow Waffle Maker.

1. Prepare your waffle batter.
2. Place the waffle maker on a flat, dry surface with space on all sides. NOTE: Never use aerosol nonstick spray on the waffle maker’s cooking plates. Nonstick spray will cause build-up over time, which may cause sticking. If desired, brush the plate with a small amount of cooking oil instead.
3. Unwind the power cord completely and plug in the waffle maker.
4. The red POWER light located on the top of the waffle maker will come on, and the waffle maker will begin to preheat. When the waffle maker is fully heated, after about 5 minutes, the blue READY light will come on as well.
5. Use the Shade Setting Knob to select the desired shade setting. There are 7 shade settings: MIN (lightest), MAX (darkest), and 5 settings in between. The higher the setting, the darker and crisper the waffle will be.
6. Use the included measuring cup to scoop the batter. Fill the measuring cup based on the thickness of your batter. The measuring cup includes markings for recommended amounts of batter, with 160 ml for thick batter and 125 ml for thin batter. NOTE: The measuring cup’s handle is designed so it can rest on the side of the batter bowl to prevent batter from dripping on your counter.
7. Carefully open the lid by positioning a thumb or finger on the latch release grip and pinching the latch between your fingers.
8. Pour the batter onto the center of the lower cooking plate. TIP: The recommended amounts of batter are suggestions; you may need to adjust the amount to prevent overflow.
9. Close the lid. The blue READY light will turn off while the waffle is cooking. (It will come back on when the waffle is done.) WARNING: Hot steam escapes from the sides of the waffle maker during cooking and can potentially cause burns. Keep away from the steam.
10. When the blue READY light comes back on, carefully open the lid. WARNING: Use extreme caution when opening the lid of the waffle maker once the waffle is done, as hot steam will escape and may cause burns.
11. Use silicone-tipped tongs to remove the cooked waffle. (Do not use metal utensils as they can scratch the nonstick surface.)
12. To make more waffles, brush away any crumbs left on the plates, then close the lid and let the waffle maker reheat until the blue READY light comes back on. Repeat steps 6–11.
13. When finished making waffles, unplug the waffle maker to turn it off. Let it cool completely before cleaning and storing in a cool, dry place.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

With its nonstick plates, the waffle maker is super easy to clean.

1. Unplug the waffle maker when done and let it cool completely before cleaning.
2. Use a soft bristle brush, such as a pastry brush, or a paper towel to brush away crumbs from the plates. The measuring cup may be washed with warm, soapy water and a sponge.
3. The waffle maker does not disassemble for cleaning. Gently wipe down the interior plates and the exterior (if necessary) with a damp cloth or paper towel.
4. To remove batter that has cooked onto the plates, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the hardened batter. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then wipe off with a dry towel or a damp paper towel. Never use coarse scouring pads or steel wool, as this can damage surfaces. CAUTION: Never immerse the waffle maker, the cord, or the plug in water or any other liquid.
5. Always allow all parts to dry completely.
6. The cord can be wrapped underneath the waffle maker, and the waffle maker may be stored in the upright position to save space.
