AFFLE AKING
• When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will be tough.
Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
• The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without
overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from
a measuring cup will help you gauge how much batter to use each time.

• For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer edge of
grid,using a heat proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before
closing lid.
• Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more tender than regular
waffles, and may require more care when removing from waffle maker. You
may want to break these waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use
a spatula to support waffles when removing from the waffle maker.
• To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent
steam from accumulating underneath.
• When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot and crisp by
placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven until ready to serve.
• Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped, individually,
by returning to hot waffle maker. Set Waffle Temperature Control to low.
Place waffle on grid so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 min-
utes,watching carefully to prevent burning.
• Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic
freezer bag or in covered container, separating waffles with wax paper.
Reheat frozen waffles in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.

LEANING AND ARE
Here are a few easy steps to keep your waffle maker looking and working
like new:
• Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool before cleaning. There is
no need to disassemble the waffle maker for cleaning. Never immerse the waffle
maker in water or place in dishwasher.
• Brush away any loose crumbs from the grooves. Wipe grids clean with a paper
towel, absorbing any oil or butter that might be down in the grooves of the
grid. You can also wipe grids with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive
that can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
• Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only. Do not clean the
outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the
finish. A little metal polish suitable for stainless steel may be used occasionally
on the top housing. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not place
in the dishwasher.
• Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil onto
the hardened batter. Let sit 5 minutes to soften batter, then wipe off with a
paper towel or soft cloth.
• Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles, they can damage the
non-stick surface.
