Before initial use
The waffl e iron should be preheated for ten
minutes with the lids closed. (If your waffl e
iron has an adjustable thermostat control,
turn it to its highest setting).This will remove
the smell typically encountered when fi rst
switching on the waffl e iron.
For that reason, adequate ventilation should
be ensured by opening windows or balcony
doors.
Clean the appliance afterwards as described
in General care and cleaning.
For reasons of hygiene, discard the fi rst
waffl e produced when the appliance is new.
Operation
∙ Close the lids.
∙ Plug in the appliance. The indicator light
on the temperature control shows red.
∙ Turn the thermostat control to its
maximum setting.
∙ Preheat the waffl e iron for about eight
minutes. It is then ready for use.
∙ Once the pre-set temperature is reached,
the indicator light on the temperature
control shows green.
∙ Open the two lids.
