Clean the interior with a warm, soapy cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh
chemicals. Do not use sharp or metal objects to clean as they may damage the non-stick or other surfaces.
TIP: Should any batter become baked onto the waffle grids, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the batter. Allow it to soak for about
5 minutes so the batter will soften. Wipe away with a damp paper towel or soft cloth.
TO STORE:
Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot. Never
wrap cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled.
•
When preparing the waffle batter, do not over-mix it or the waffle will become tough and heavy. A few lumps in the batter are OK.
•
Refrigerated batter may need some water or milk added to the mixture, as cold batter can thicken. Cold batter may also require a
longer cooking time to reach the desired doneness.
•
For evenly shaped waffles, pour the batter into the center of the waffle plate and spread the batter to the edges of the waffle grid.
Use a heat-proof rubber spatula or the bottom of a non-metallic ladle or non-metallic spoon.
•
Do not overfill the waffle grids. The batter should almost cover the peaks of the waffle grids. Use a pitcher or measuring cup to pour
the batter rather than a ladle or spoon.
•
Cake-based waffles, such as dessert-type waffles, will be more fragile and you will need to use more care in removing them from the
waffle maker.
•
Close the waffle maker lid immediately after removing a waffle to maintain the proper cooking temperature for additional waffles.
•
Baked waffles will accumulate steam between them and lose their crispness if stacked or cooled on a solid surface. For best results,
move waffles to a wire cooling rack and do not stack.
•
Finished waffles may be kept warm by placing them directly on the rack in a 200°F oven for up to 15 minutes.
•
Waffles may also be warmed by placing them into the preheated waffle maker for 1 to 2 minutes.
•
Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container, separating waffles with
wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles until hot and crisp.
