 4-Slice Belgian Waffle 

Maker on setting #5 or preferred setting* (Ready 
light will illuminate when preheated). 

Use the measuring cup to measure the batter 
and pour into the preheated waffle grids. Use 
a heatproof spatula to spread the batter evenly 
over the grids. Close lid and rotate waffle maker 
180˚ to the right. Bake the waffles until the Ready 
light turns off and then on again. Rotate waffle 
maker 180˚ to the left. Remove waffle and repeat 
until all batter is used. For best results, do not 
open waffle maker during cooking process.  

Waffles may be kept warm in a low (200°F/95°C) 
oven. Arrange waffles on a cookie sheet on 
a rack in the warm oven. Serve with whipped 
cream, fruit, jam, powdered sugar, or a warm  
fruit syrup.

*We recommend using setting #5 to achieve  
a golden-brown baked Belgian waffle. Adjust  
the browning control if you prefer lighter or  
darker waffles.
