CARE & CLEANING
Here are a few easy steps to keep your wae maker
looking and working like new:
1 Always unplug the wae maker and allow it to cool before
cleaning. There is no need to disassemble the wae maker
for cleaning. Never immerse the wae maker in water or
place in dishwasher.
2 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.
3 Wipe the outside of the wae maker with a damp cloth only.
Do not clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or
steel wool, as this will damage the nish. Do not immerse in
water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.
4 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 o with a paper towel or soft cloth.
5 Do not use metal utensils to remove your waes, they can
damage the non-stick surface.
10 When baking is complete, simply unplug the power cord
from wall outlet. Leave wae maker open to cool. Do not
clean until unit has cooled.
Waffle Baking Tips
1 Cooking times may vary. Depending on your taste
preference, leave the wae in longer for darker, crispier
waes or shorter for light and uy waes. Dierent wae
batters will also cook up dierently.
2 When preparing wae batter, do not over mix or waes will
be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients
disappear.
3 The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped wae,
without overowing, will vary with dierent wae batters.
Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge how
much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid of wae maker
with enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid.
4 For more evenly shaped waes, spread thick batters to outer
edge of grid, using a heat proof rubber spatula or other non-
metallic utensil before closing lid.
5 Cake-based waes, such as the Chocolate Waes are more
tender than regular waes, and may require more care when
removing from wae maker. You may want to break these
waes into halves or quarters before removing. Use a spatula
to support waes when removing from the wae maker.
6 To retain crispness, move baked waes to a wire cooling
rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
7 When serving several waes at one time, keep waes hot
and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven
until ready to serve.
8 Baked waes freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack.
Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container,
separating waes with wax paper. Reheat frozen waes in
toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
