HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
Smoking
•
During first use, you may notice slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal with most
new appliances. The smoking and odor is caused by the residues burning off the non-stick
cooking plates. Allow the appliance to preheat until smoke and odor no longer exists.
Non-stick Cooking Plates
•
For each use, it is recommended that you coat the cooking plates
with a non-stick cooking spray or with a small amount of vegetable
oil. This will help preserve the longevity of your appliance.
•
Only use heat-resistant nylon, silicone or wooden utensils when operating this
unit. Metal utensils can scratch or damage the non-stick cooking plates.
Cooking Tips
•
For healthier waffles, substitute whole grain flour for white flour.
•
To keep waffles crisp when reheating, always reheat in an oven instead of a
microwave. Preheat oven to 200˚ F and bake on a baking sheet or wire rack.
•
DO NOT over-mix batter. Batter should be slightly lumpy so
that waffles will be light and fluffy when cooked.
•
You can store batter in a tightly-sealed container and refrigerate. Refrigerated
batter will remain fresh for up to two days. Because cold batter will thicken,
you may need to add a little milk or water to the batter before cooking.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Please take care of your WAFFLE MAKER AND GRIDDLE by
following these simple cleaning directions.
•
Disconnect appliance from the electrical outlet and allow to cool completely.
•
Using a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth, wipe down the exterior or the
appliance, as well as the upper and lower non-stick cooking surfaces.
Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again. Dry with a clean cloth.
•
DO NOT put any parts in a dishwasher.
•
NEVER immerse appliance or electrical cord in water.
