Preparing the waffle iron
Before taking the appliance into use check to ensure
that the appliance, the power plug and the power
cable are all in a serviceable condition and that all
packaging materials have been removed.
1) First of all, clean the appliance as described in
“Cleaning and Care”.
2) Lightly grease the baking surfaces with oil that
is suitable for baking. This will help better loosen
any production residues perhaps remaining on
the baking surfaces.
3) Heat the appliance briefly to the maximum tem-
perature (Position 5) with the lid closed. For this,
insert the plug into a mains power socket and
slide the control knob 3 all the way to the right.
NOTE
► On this first use the development of a light
odour may occur, caused by production
residues (a slight smoke development is also
possible). This is normal and stops after a
short time. Provide for sufficient ventilation.
Open a window, for example.
The red operating lamp 1 glows all the time when
the plug is connected to a mains power socket.
The green operating lamp 1 glows as soon as the
programmed temperature has been reached.
4) Remove the power plug and, with the lid open,
allow the appliance to cool down.
5) Clean the appliance again as described in
“Cleaning and Care”. The waffle iron is now
ready for use.
Baking waffles
When you have prepared a batter that is intended
for baking in waffle makers:
1) Heat the appliance with the lid closed. For this,
insert the plug into a mains power socket and
slide the control knob 3 to position 3. The fur-
ther you slide the control knob 3 to the right,
the darker the waffles will be baked.
NOTE
► Should you have prepared a low-fat dough,
such as a quark dough, then lightly grease the
baking surface with butter, margarine or an oil
suitable for baking.
As soon as the green operation lamp 1 glows, the
appliance is hot!
2) Spread the batter evenly across the bottom
baking surface. To determine the correct
amount of batter, fill it with batter until the bat-
ter lightly touches the edge of the baking area.
If necessary, increase or decrease the amount
of batter used in the next waffle. Ensure that
the batter does not run over the edge of the
baking surface. Now close the lid.
3) You can open the lid to check the baking result
after 2 minutes at the earliest. Opening the lid
earlier will only tear the waffle.
The waffles are ready after about 3 minutes.
NOTE
► As the ideal level of browning is wholly
dependent on personal taste and the constitu-
ency of the batter, the baking time can vary:
Therefore, bake the waffles until your own
desired level of browning has been achieved.
You can determine the level of browning either
by adjusting the control knob 3 or through
the baking time. In this way, the waffles can be
baked from a golden yellow to a crispy brown.
When removing the waffles, be sure not to acciden-
tally damage the coating of the baking surfaces.
If you do, it will be harder to separate the waffles
from the surfaces.
4) After baking the last waffle, remove the plug
from the mains power socket and allow the
appliance to cool with the lid up.
