BEFORE FIRST USE
•
Protective coating burn off will cause smoking on first use. This is NOT harmful and
will disappear after a short time. Therefore it is recommended to let your appliance
work empty for 10 minutes before the first use.
•
When using for the first time, clean the baking plates by wiping with a sponge or
cloth dampened in warm water.
•
Dry with a cloth or paper towel.
•
Lightly coat the cooking plates with a little cooking oil or a cooking spray.
•
Connect the mains plug to the power outlet and set the variable temperature
button to the maximum level. You may notice a slight smoke or odor. This is normal
and will not recur after a while.
Note: Ensure that the cord is kept away from the cooking plates when in use.
USE
•
Close the appliance and plug into the electrical outlet. The pilot light will light up
orange, to indicate that the appliance is switched on and heating.
•
The pilot light will light up green, when the cooking temperature is reached. During
use, this ready light will come on and off regularly. This simply means that the
thermostat is regulating the appliance's temperature.
•
Attention: during operation, the baking plates heat up. Pay attention not to get
burned.
•
Open the appliance and lightly brush the baking plates with butter, margarine or
cooking oil.
•
Pour the dough evenly into the notches of the bottom baking plate but not all the
way to the edges and close the appliance. Press the lid down for a moment to
spread the dough evenly on the baking plate.
•
You can use the adjustable thermostat for choosing the browning degree of the
waffles.
•
Bake until golden brown (about 3 to 4 minutes). During baking time, you can lift the
lid to control the browning degree of the waffles. When the waffles are ready,
remove them with a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use any sharp or metallic
objects, as this might damage the non-stick coating of the baking plates.
•
When you have finished baking, unplug the appliance and leave it open so that the
baking plates can cool down.
WARNINGS :
•
NEVER touch the outer surfaces of the unit as they heat up during operation. Use the
handle to open the upper cover. Vapor may come out from between the heating
plates of your equipment when the upper cover is opened or during the cooking
process. Be careful when taking out the food.
•
Carefully open the lid and remove the foods using plastic or wooden utensils to
avoid damaging the non-stick coating. Never use metal tongs, forks or a knife as
these can damage the coating.
•
DO NOT use this appliance to cook or defrost frozen food.
