operAtion - using for the first time
1. Remove the packaging.
2. Clean the baking plates to remove any residues that may be left from the manufacturing process (see
"Cleaning and maintenance"). Dry them thoroughly.
3. Put the plug into the wall socket and allow the waffle maker to heat up. This will take about 10 minutes;
allowing it to heat will remove any packaging odour from the appliance.
•
The appliance may emit a little smoke and a characteristic smell when you switch it on for the first
time. This is normal, and will soon stop. Make sure the appliance has sufficient ventilation.
•
Keep house birds away from the appliance when it is in use. Fumes released from the non-stick
coating when the baking plates are hot may be harmful to birds.
operAtion - preheating
1. Put the plug in the wall socket. The red light will illuminate, and the appliance will preheat the baking
plates.
2. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting. Once the baking plates have heated up the green
light will also illuminate. This will take approximately 3 minutes.
operAtion - baking waffles
1. Prepare the waffle batter using the recipe given on the packaging.
2. Preheat the appliance as explained in 'Preheating'.
3. Grease both baking plates. Use a brush to spread the oil or butter over the surface.
4. Pour the required amount of batter onto the bottom baking plate. Make sure no batter is spilt over the
edge of the baking plate. Close the lid.
5. Bake the waffles to the required colour.
Waffles usually take between 3 to 5 minutes to prepare. The actual time depends on the batter you use
and your personal preference. Leave the appliance closed whilst baking the waffles, because opening
it may affect the appearance of the waffles.
6. Open the appliance once the waffles are ready.
7. Carefully remove the waffles with a heat-resistant wooden or plastic spatula; take care not to damage
the non-stick coating.
Do not use sharp forks or knives!
