Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the waffle iron from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. First Use Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly. A light coating of cooking oil can be applied to the plates for the very first use to season them, though the non-stick surface is designed to minimize this need.
3. Placement: Place the waffle iron on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the appliance for ventilation. The non-slip feet will help secure the unit in place.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the appliance is unplugged. Unwind the power cord and plug it into a standard 240V electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Preheating: Close the waffle iron and plug it into the power outlet. The red ignition indicator light will illuminate, indicating the appliance is powered on and beginning to heat.
2. Ready Indicator: Once the waffle iron reaches the optimal baking temperature, the green baking ready indicator light will illuminate. This signifies that the appliance is preheated and ready for use.
3. Temperature Control: Use the control dial on the top panel to adjust the desired browning level (settings 1-6). A higher number typically results in a darker, crispier waffle.
4. Pouring Batter: Carefully open the waffle iron using the heat-insulated handle. Pour your prepared waffle batter evenly onto the lower cooking plate. Do not overfill, as the batter will expand during cooking. The 19.2 cm diameter plate is designed to divide the batter for 5 waffles.
5. Baking: Close the lid gently. The red ignition light may cycle on and off during baking to maintain the temperature.
6. Removing Waffles: Baking time will vary depending on the recipe and desired browning. Once cooked, use a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil to carefully remove the waffles. Avoid using metal utensils, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
7. Subsequent Batches: Close the lid after removing waffles. Wait for the green ready indicator light to illuminate again before adding more batter for subsequent batches.
8. Finishing: When finished baking, unplug the waffle iron from the power outlet.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your waffle iron.

1. Cool Down: Always allow the waffle iron to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Unplug: Ensure the appliance is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
3. Cleaning Plates: Wipe the non-stick cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn residue, a small amount of mild dish soap can be used, but ensure it is thoroughly rinsed off with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal utensils, as these will damage the non-stick coating.
4. Cleaning Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the waffle iron with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
5. Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the waffle iron, its cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
6. Storage: Once clean and dry, store the waffle iron in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Appliance does not heat up:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the power outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance.
• Waffles stick to the plates:
  • Ensure the plates were clean and dry before use.
  • Apply a very light coating of cooking oil or non-stick spray to the plates before each batch, especially if using a new recipe.
  • Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated (green light on) before adding batter.
• Waffles are not evenly browned:
  • Ensure the batter is evenly spread across the plate.
  • Adjust the temperature control dial to a higher setting for darker browning.
  • Allow sufficient preheating time.
• Indicator lights not working:
  • If the appliance is not heating and lights are off, check power connection.
  • If the appliance heats but lights are off, contact customer support.
