In this electric waffle maker the batter is simultaneously baked on both sides between the heated waffle plates. The degree of browning of the waffles can be adjusted by setting the temperature control. 5. The mixture of the batter also influences the waffle results. 6. Where applicable, use a brush and a little cooking oil to slightly grease the waffle plates. 1. 2. 3. Close the waffle iron and insert the plug in a grounded wall socket. The red indicator light shines and shows that the appliance is connected to power. Slide the temperature control to the desired setting, typically from level 3 to level 5. The red indicator light shines and indicates that the appliance is 7. heating up. As soon as the chosen temperature has been reached, the green indicator light will glow. The 8. appliance is now ready for use. Now open the waffle iron and pour enough batter into the middle of the 9. lower waffle plate halves for it to spread out to within about 2 cm from the edge. If you wish to bake two waffles simultaneously, pour as near as possible equal amounts into the two waffle plate halves in order to obtain an even result. Close the waffle iron. Briefly afterwards the green indicator light will turn off. The waffle iron is now baking. As soon as the green indicator lamp lights up again, open the waffle iron and check whether the waffles are cooked and brown enough. If the waffles are not quite ready or not brown enough, let them bake a moment longer. When the waffles are ready, open up the waffle iron and take out the waffles by lifting one side slightly with a heatresistant wooden or plastic utensil and then removing them with a spatula. If the waffles are too dark, select a correspondingly lower setting on the temperature control for the next batch of waffles or shorten the baking time accordingly. After a couple of waffles, you will have found the setting that is exactly right for the way you like your waffles. Now that the appliance is heated up, you can pour in the batter for the next waffles immediately. After use, remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool fully before cleaning. After the appliance has cooled, clean it as described in the chapter "Care and Cleaning".
