Preparing the waffle iron
Before taking the appliance into use check to ensure
that the appliance, the power plug and the power
cable are all in a serviceable condition and that all
packaging materials have been removed .
1) First of all, clean the appliance as described in
"Cleaning and Care" .
2) Lightly grease the baking surfaces with oil that
is suitable for baking . This will help better loosen
any production residues perhaps remaining on
the baking surfaces .
3) Heat the appliance briefly to the maximum tem-
perature (Position 5) with the lid closed . For this,
insert the plug into a mains power socket and
slide the control knob 3 all the way to the right .
note
►
On this first use the development of a light
odour may occur, caused by production
residues (a slight smoke development is also
possible) . This is normal and stops after a
short time . Provide for sufficient ventilation .
Open a window, for example .
The red operating lamp 1 glows all the time when
the plug is connected to a mains power socket .
The green operating lamp 1 glows as soon as the
programmed temperature has been reached .
4) Remove the power plug and, with the lid open,
allow the appliance to cool down .
5) Clean the appliance again as described in
"Cleaning and Care" . The waffle iron is now
ready for use .
Baking waffles
When you have prepared a batter that is intended
for baking in waffle makers:
1) Heat the appliance with the lid closed . For this,
insert the plug into a mains power socket and
slide the control knob 3 to position 3 . The further
you slide the control knob 3 to the right, the
darker the waffles will be baked .

note
►
Should you have prepared a low-fat dough,
such as a quark dough, then lightly grease the
baking surface with butter, margarine or an oil
suitable for baking .
As soon as the green operation lamp 1 glows, the
appliance is hot!
2) Spread the batter evenly across the bottom
baking surface . To determine the correct amount
of batter, fill it with batter until the batter lightly
touches the edge of the baking area . If necessary,
increase or decrease the amount of batter used
in the next waffle . Ensure that the batter does
not run over the edge of the baking surface .
Now close the lid .
3) You can open the lid to check the baking result
after 2 minutes at the earliest . Opening the lid
earlier will only tear the waffle .
The waffles are ready after about 3 minutes .
note
►
As the ideal level of browning is wholly
dependent on personal taste and the constitu-
ency of the batter, the baking time can vary:
Therefore, bake the waffles until your own
desired level of browning has been achieved .
You can determine the level of browning either
by adjusting the control knob 3 or through
the baking time . In this way, the waffles can be
baked from a golden yellow to a crispy brown .
When removing the waffles, be sure not to acciden-
tally damage the coating of the baking surfaces .
If you do, it will be harder to separate the waffles
from the surfaces .
4) After baking the last waffle, remove the plug
from the mains power socket and allow the
appliance to cool with the lid up .
