Getting Started
Before first use
•
Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made
sure your new waffle maker is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic
wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so
ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach.
•
Read this manual to familiarize yourself with all the parts and operating
principles of the waffle maker. Pay particular attention to the safety
instructions on the previous pages.
•
Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply.
•
Unfold the handle by rotating it to the left and open the unit by lifting the
handle up.
•
Wipe the baking surfaces with a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with a
little warm water, to remove any dust from the manufacturing process. Dry
thoroughly.
WARNING: Never immerse the waffle maker in water!
•
Unwind the power cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. Do not
use the appliance if the appliance or its cord have been damaged. In case of
damage, contact our after sales support line for advice on examination, repair
or return of the damaged product.
•
Place the waffle maker on a flat, level surface, plug in the power cord and turn
the power on. The red power indicator will illuminate, indicating that there is
power to the unit. The green ready indicator will illuminate once it has reached
the correct baking temperature.
NOTE: The unit may emit a slight smell or smoke when it is first heating up. This
is due to the components being new and can be disregarded safely. It is
no cause for concern. Leave the unit powered on for a few minutes until
all odor and smoke has dissipated.
•
Before the first use only, the non-stick cooking surfaces must be seasoned
during the preheating time (until the green light comes on) to protect the
non-stick surface. To season the surfaces, apply a thin coat of cooking oil,
butter or margarine to the preheated cooking surfaces and rub it in with a
paper towel. Leave the coating on the cooking plates.
•
Your waffle maker is now ready for use.
CAUTION: HOT!
•
Avoid touching hot surfaces.
•
Take care when opening the lid as hot steam may escape, which may cause
scalding.
