WARNING! FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
State of California Proposition 65 requires that we include the following warning:
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An
extension cord may be used if care is properly exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How to Use
Become familiar with the Presto
®
Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker (Fig. A). Squeeze the
cover latch and open the waffle bowl maker. Wipe the waffle grids with a damp cloth
before initial use.
1. Plug the waffle bowl maker into a 120VAC electrical outlet and preheat with the
cover in the closed position. NOTE: When using the waffle bowl maker the first
time, a slight odor or smoking may occur as manufacturing residue burns off. This
is normal during initial use.
2. While the unit is preheating, prepare waffle batter from a commercial mix, one
of the recipes on page 4, or your own recipe. NOTE: The red signal light will be
illuminated while the unit is preheating. When the unit is ready for use, the light
will go out. Preheat time will be approximately 3 to 3½ minutes.
3. Because the grids are covered with a nonstick coating, there will be only an occa-
sional need to apply vegetable oil. If you find it difficult to remove a waffle bowl,
apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the grids before your next use. No-stick cooking sprays are not recommended as they may leave
a tacky residue.
4. Pour waffle batter into the bottom grid. For most batters, pour to the fill lines (Fig. A). However, for thin batters, pour to under the fill
lines. If you prefer using a measuring cup, pour in approximately ½ cup. NOTE: Different batters expand at different rates. If your first
waffle bowl is too tall (batter flows into the overflow area), reduce the batter to slightly below the fill lines for the next waffle bowl; or
if you would like a taller waffle bowl, fill slightly above the fill lines for subsequent batches.
NOTICE: Do not strike the rim of the waffle bowl maker with any cooking utensil as this may scratch the nonstick surface.
5. Squeeze the cover latch, lower the cover until closed, and release the latch. During cooking the signal light will cycle on and off.
CAUTION! As with any waffle maker, steam escapes during cooking. Keep hands and face away from steam to prevent steam burns.
Take extra care when opening the waffle bowl maker as hot steam may escape near the latch and could cause burns.
6. Set a timer to the desired time. See recipes on page 4 for recommended cooking times. Most waffle bowls will cook in 3½ to 4½ minutes.
Waffle bowl is done when the unit stops emitting steam.
7. Check the waffle bowl at 3½ minutes to see if it is golden brown. If additional browning is desired, cook an additional 30 seconds to 1
minute. When cooking is complete, use a fork to carefully spear the interior of the waffle bowl and lift it from the grids, making sure
you don’t scratch the nonstick surface.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 for additional waffle bowls.
9. Fill waffle bowls with desired ingredients.
10. Unplug waffle bowl maker when cooking is completed.
Care, Cleaning, and Storage
1. Unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Never immerse waffle bowl maker in water or other liquid or wash in a
dishwasher.
2. Brush any loose crumbs from the waffle grids. Then wipe the grids with a paper towel or cloth.
3. Should any batter become baked onto the grids or the outside of the unit, apply a small amount of cooking oil to the batter. Allow oil to
sit a few minutes to soften batter and then wipe off with a paper towel or cloth.
4. Wipe the outside of the waffle bowl maker with a damp cloth. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners on the unit.
