Setup and First Use
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the appliance from its packaging. Retain the packaging for storage or future transport.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
- Positioning: Place the nut waffle maker on a stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
- Preheating: Close the appliance and plug it into a 230V electrical outlet. The red power indicator light will illuminate. Allow the appliance to preheat until the green/blue ready indicator light turns on, signaling it has reached the optimal baking temperature. This may take a few minutes.
- First Bake (Optional): For the first use, it is recommended to bake a small batch of dough and discard it to remove any manufacturing residues.
Operating Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Prepare your desired nut pastry dough according to your recipe. The dough should be of a consistency suitable for filling the molds.
- Preheat: Ensure the appliance is preheated and the green/blue ready indicator light is on.
- Fill Molds: Carefully open the nut waffle maker. Place a small amount of dough into each mold on the lower cooking plate. Do not overfill, as the dough will expand during baking. The appliance is designed to bake 24 nut halves simultaneously.
- Close and Bake: Gently close the lid, ensuring the latch is secured. The red power indicator light will remain on, and the green/blue ready light may turn off temporarily as the appliance reheats.
- Monitor Baking: Baking typically takes approximately 3 minutes, but this can vary depending on your recipe and desired crispness. The green/blue ready light will cycle on and off during baking to maintain temperature.
- Remove Pastries: Once baked to your preference, carefully open the lid. Use a heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensil to remove the nut pastries. Avoid using metal utensils, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
- Repeat: Close the lid to allow the appliance to reheat for the next batch. Repeat steps 3-6 until all dough is used.
- Finish: When finished baking, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
