MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
Always unplug appliance and allow to cool completely
*
before cleaning.
Never submerse the appliance in water.
*
Never use oven cleaners or other stripping products.
*
Lid and base: clean with a damp sponge and, if necessary,
*
mild detergent.
Non-stick cooking plates: Generally soak for a few minutes,
*
clean using a soft sponge and mild detergent and then rinse with
warm water. Dry the plates thoroughly before placing them back
into the appliance.

IMPORTANT:
Never grease the appliance before pre-heating but instead
just before pouring in the batter.
Heat the appliance until the green light comes on and the ready
*
signal sounds.
Although plates in the appliance have non-stick coating,
*
we recommend greasing them lightly.
Open the appliance and grease both plates using a silicone brush,
*
paper towel or piece of cotton. (If using a brush, dip it into a
small cup of cooking oil to cover it well.) Grease again only lightly
before cooking the next waffles. After that, grease again only if
the waffles start to stick on opening the lid.
Use the control panel for precise control over browning of your
*
waffles. Use the dial to adjust the waffle iron temperature and
control browning precisely. Adjust the selection control to modify
cooking time:
- Faster cooking for softer waffles (seared to keep them soft and
chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside)
- Slower cooking for extra-crispy waffles (heated longer to
remove all moisture from the inside and make them crispy
through and through).
Pour the batter onto only one plate taking care to cover all squares
*
completely. Note that it is much easier to use a jug with spout for
this instead of a ladle.
Close the lid, wait

IMPORTANT: The rotation process is important for making the best
waffles. If you do not do this, your waffles will look less appetizing
(squares on top tray not filled in completely, light spots on waffle
making the surface irregular). Even with rotation, this may happen
also if you do not use enough batter. However, be careful as the
appliance may release steam during turning. We recommend using
a potholder or mitt when rotating.
The green light will come on and the appliance will emit four short
*
tones when it is time to open the lid.
IMPORTANT: Cooking waffles is a subtle art in which the slightest
change in ingredient proportions in the dough can affect appearance
and flavour significantly. The timing of the green ready light was
calculated based on a standard waffle dough recipe and the
opinions of a representative consumer panel. Differences in
timing due to your own particular preferences are not
to be considered a defect of the appliance.
