10. Wipe the outside with a clean paper towel or cleaning cloth if necessary.
11. At the end of the cook time, open the latch and lift the top lid gently; if it pulls,
continue baking for30 seconds and test again. If the waffles need to bake to a darker
finish, close the lid and continue cooking in 20 second intervals until the desired color
is achieved.
12. Wearing oven mitts, remove waffles from the cooking plates using a non-metallic
utensil. Awoodenor heat-proof plastic spatula can be used to remove the waffles.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the non-stick surface, never use any sharp, pointed or
metal objects.
WARNING: Cooking surfaces are hot, do not touch; use caution until cooking plates
are cool.
NOTE: If additional waffles are to be cooked, keep the Waffle Maker closed to retain
heat. Alwayswait until the blue READY light illuminates before baking more waffles.
NOTE: Waffles made later will bake faster because extra heat has been retained.
It may be necessary to adjust to a shorter cooking time to accommodate.
13. When baking is complete, after waffles have been removed, unplug the power cord
fromelectricoutlet. Lift the top lid to expose the cooking plates and allow unit to cool.
14. Do not clean until unit has been fully cooled.
Wae Baking Tips
• Most recipes can be easily halved or doubled.
• Do not open the Waffle Maker during the first minute of baking or the waffle will
separate. Completely cook the waffle before removing.
• When a waffle is done, the top lid should lift easily. Lift gently; if it pulls, continue
cooking for30seconds and test again.
• When preparing waffle batter, do not over-mix or waffles will be tough.
Stir batter only until largelumps of dry ingredients disappear. Some lumps are ok.
• The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing,
will vary withdifferent waffle batters.
• For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to the outer edge of the lower
cooking plate using a heat-proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before
closing the lid.
• Cake-based waffles are more tender than regular waffles, and may require more care
when removing from the Waffle Maker. Wearing oven mitts, use a spatula to support
waffles when removing from the Waffle Maker.
