Getting to Know Your Waffle Baker
- Your product may vary slightly from illustration
Operating Instructions
Before first use
Conditioning Grids
- Before using, wipe cooking surface with a damp cloth and dry. The Grid Surface being used requires conditioning before each heating that follows cleaning. To condition, lightly coat the Grid Surface with solid vegetable shortening. Plug into any 120V ~ 60Hz outlet. The Red Power Light will come on. When the Green Ready Light comes on, the unit is preheated.
- The Grid Surface is ready to use. To protect the premium quality non-stick surfaces, use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils. Carefully follow suggested cleaning procedures. After time, if waffles show signs of sticking, carefully recondition your unit.
Using Your Waffle Baker
- Always allow Waffle Baker to preheat until the Green Ready Light comes on, approximately 5 minutes. Initially, some smoking may occur. This is normal for newly manufactured appliances and will not occur after the first few uses. When preheated, the Green Ready Light will come on.
- Raise Lid and pour approximately 1/4 – 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of each waffle section of the Grid Surface. Close the Lid; do not latch. The Green Ready Light will stay on for a few minutes and then go out. While cooking, the Red Power Light will be on. The amount of batter required may vary with recipe
or brand of mix. Any waffle recipe or mix may be used.- NOTE: If batter thickens while standing, add 1/4 cup of liquid to thin out.
- When the waffle is done, the Green Ready Light will come on again. Gently lift the Lid to check for brownness. If Lid shows resistance to lifting, the waffle may not be quite done. Close Lid and watch for steaming to stop before checking again.
- Remove the waffle when browned. If a second batch is desired, pour batter immediately and close Lid.
- When finished baking unplug and allow to cool before cleaning.
Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: UNPLUG FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING. NEVER IMMERSE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
- While the Grid Surface is still warm, brush with a clean, soft pastry brush or cloth.
- Do not use steel wool or coarse scouring pads. Remove stubborn stains with a plastic mesh puff or pad. For best results, use only products with directions stating safe for cleaning non-stick surfaces.
- The Case should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft, damp cloth.
- Close Latch and stand on end for storage.
- Use the Cord Storage Wrap located on the bottom of the Waffle Baker.
- Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on cord where it enters unit, as this could cause cord to fray and break.
