1. Preheat: Turn on the power switch for the desired waffle head. Set the temperature knob to your preferred cooking temperature (e.g., 340°F/170°C). Allow the machine to preheat for approximately 5 minutes until the indicator light signals it has reached the set temperature.
2. Prepare Plates: Lightly brush the non-stick waffle plates with cooking oil or spray, even though they are non-stick, for best results and to extend the life of the coating.
3. Pour Batter: Pour waffle batter evenly onto the lower waffle plate, filling approximately 3/4 of the mold holes. Ensure the batter spreads to the edges.
4. Close and Cook: Carefully close the upper waffle plate using the handle. Set the timer knob to the desired cooking duration (e.g., 4 minutes). The indicator light will show when cooking is in progress.
5. Monitor: The machine will cook the waffle evenly on both sides. Avoid opening the plates frequently during cooking.
6. Serve: Once the timer sounds or the waffle is golden brown and cooked to your preference, open the waffle maker. Use the provided food clip or a non-metallic utensil to remove the waffle.
7. Repeat: Close the waffle maker and repeat the process for additional waffles.
