Usage Features
- Plate Insertion/Removal: Plates are inserted by aligning pegs with holes at the back of the housing and sliding them into place until they snap. Removal is done by pressing plate release buttons on the right side of the unit, which causes the plates to pop up slightly, allowing them to be slid out.
- Waffle Plates: Each waffle plate is embossed with "LOWER" or "UPPER" to indicate its position in the housing.
- Pancake Plate: The 4-slot pancake plate is designed for the lower housing ("LOWER" embossed), while the flat plate is for the upper housing ("UPPER" embossed).
- Preheating: The unit should be preheated in the closed position. The red light indicates power on and heating, and the green light with an audible tone signals readiness.
- Cooking: Batter is poured onto the center of the lower grid and spread evenly with a heatproof spatula. The lid is closed, and the unit signals when waffles are ready.
- Browning Settings: Settings range from 1 (lightest) to 6 (darkest). A setting of 4 or 5 is recommended for golden brown waffles.
- Batter Quantity: A heaping 1½ cups of batter is recommended to fill the lower grid for waffles.
- Waffle Storage: Cooked waffles can be kept warm in a 200°F oven (loosely covered with foil). For longer storage, cool completely, separate with waxed paper, and store in a plastic food storage bag for reheating in a toaster or toaster oven.
- Tongs: Included for easy flipping and removal of cooked foods.
- Compact Storage: The unit can be stored upright on its back end with the control panel facing up.
- Safety: Features a polarized plug. Close supervision is necessary when used near children. Do not immerse cord, plug, or unit in water. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug.
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning: After cooking, turn the temperature knob to Off and unplug the unit. Allow it to cool completely (at least 30 minutes) before handling.
- Plate Cleaning: Removable plates are dishwasher-safe. Do not use metallic objects, scouring pads, or abrasive cleansers, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth.
- General: Never immerse the cord, plug, or unit in water or other liquids. Any servicing beyond user maintenance should be performed by an authorized service representative.
- First Use: Before first use, wipe the housing and plates with a damp cloth. Seasoning the grids with cooking spray or flavorless vegetable oil is suggested, and repeating this process before each use may be helpful.
