4.2 Adding Batter & Cooking

1. Once the green light is on, open one side of the waffle maker using the cool-touch handle.
2. Pour approximately 3/4 cup of waffle batter onto the center of the non-stick cooking plate. Do not overfill.
3. Close the waffle maker.
4. Immediately rotate the waffle maker 180 degrees using the handle. This ensures even distribution of batter and consistent cooking.
5. If making two waffles, repeat steps 1-3 for the other side.

4.3 Removing Waffles

• Once cooked, unlock and open the waffle maker.
• Carefully remove the waffle using a non-metallic utensil (e.g., silicone spatula or wooden tongs) to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
• Serve immediately or keep warm.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

• Cool Down: Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Drip Tray: Remove the drip tray and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Cooking Plates: The non-stick plates are designed for easy cleaning. Wipe them with a damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn batter, use a small amount of cooking oil to soften it, then wipe clean. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water.
• Storage: Store the waffle maker in an upright position to save counter space.

6. Troubleshooting

• Waffle Maker Not Heating: Ensure the appliance is properly plugged into a working outlet and the power/temperature control is turned on.
• Waffles Sticking: Ensure the cooking plates are clean and lightly greased (if necessary, though they are non-stick). Do not use metal utensils.
• Uneven Cooking: Ensure the waffle maker is rotated 180 degrees after adding batter to distribute heat evenly.
• Waffles Not Crispy Enough: Adjust the temperature control to a higher setting for a longer cooking time.
