Using Your Waffle Maker; Hints And Tips - Breville DuraCeramic VST072X Instructions

USING YOUR WAFFLE MAKER

Take care around hot surfaces. The waffle plates get very
hot. DO NOT touch any parts, or attempt to remove or replace
the waffle plates until completely cooled.
Steam may escape from around the waffle maker during
cooking. Never leave your waffle maker unattended while in
use.
1. Plug your waffle maker into the mains supply socket and switch
the socket on if required. The green power light will come on
and your waffle maker will start heating up.
2. When your waffle maker is fully heated the amber ready light
will come on. This light will come on and go out during cooking.
3. Unclip the latch on the handle and open the lid.
4. Carefully pour your batter mix into the bottom waffle plate. For
the perfect waffle, we recommend you pour a ladleful (about
75ml) into the centre of each grid of the waffle plate. Make sure
you don't overfill the waffle plate as the mixture may spill over
the edges of the plate.
5. Close the lid. DO NOT clip the latch shut during cooking. This
allows the waffle to rise and the steam to release (you may
notice the lid lift slightly as the waffle rises). Cook the waffle
according to the recipe time.
6. When cooked, open the lid. Watch out for escaping steam – we
recommend that you use a tea towel or wear oven gloves.
Remove the waffle with a non-metallic spatula. Don't use a
metal blade as this can damage the DuraCeramic
the plates.
7. Unplug your waffle maker from the mains supply socket. Do not
leave the waffle maker plugged in when not in use.
CLEANING
Unplug and switch off your waffle maker and allow it to
fully cool down before cleaning it. Never immerse the main
body, cord set or plug in water or liquid of any kind.
Never use steel wool, scouring pads, abrasive cleaners or
metallic utensils to clean your waffle maker.
1. Wipe the waffle plates with absorbent paper or a soft damp
cloth.
2. Clean the outside of your waffle maker with a soft damp cloth.
The cover can be polished with a soft dry cloth.
3. Remove one plate at a time. Press the corresponding release
button and lift the plate away from the heating element.
4. Immerse the plates in warm, soapy water. Rinse with clean
water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Note: We recommend that you wash the plates by hand only, in
order to preserve the DuraCeramic
surface of
™
coating.

5. Replace one plate at a time. Guide the positioning tabs into the
slots located on the hinge side of the waffle maker. Press the
plate gently to lock in place onto the heating element.
Note: The bottom plate is slightly shallower than the top plate.
Each plate will only fit into the appropriate position on the waffle
maker (bottom or top).
STORAGE
1. Allow the waffle maker to cool fully before storing and ensure
that the appliance is clean.
2. Lock the waffle plates together by clipping the latch shut. Wrap
the cord in the cord storage area.
3. Store the appliance upright. Alternatively, on a flat, level surface,
away from the edge and where it cannot be easily knocked over.

HINTS AND TIPS

• When preparing your Classic and Luxury waffle batters, make
sure that you don't over-mix. Ideally these batters should be
slightly lumpy. Producing smooth batters will result in chewy
waffles that won't rise well.
• If you are preparing more than 1 batch of waffles, keep these
warm in your oven until the others are ready. Arrange in a single
layer in an oven tray and place into your oven at a low heat.
This way everyone can enjoy their waffles at the same time.
• Freezing and reheating waffles is easy. Allow to cool completely
and then stack 2 waffles with a layer of baking parchment
between each one. Wrap in plastic wrap or a freezer bag and
freeze. To reheat simply pop the frozen waffles into your toaster
or under the grill.
