1.  Grease the waffl e plates before using them. Use 

a slightly thick pastry brush for perfect results.

2.  Always use the same appropriate measure to 

pour out the waffl e batters, your waffl es  will 
always be identical and the same size.

3.  Clean the waffl e plates with a damp cloth after 

using the unit.

4.  To remove any grease that may remain on the 

plates, place a piece of absorbent kitchen towel 
on the lower plate and close the waffl e maker. 

The grease will be easier to remove.

5. QUESTIONS /ANSWERS

What to do if:

Answers:

The batter fl ows  over 
the edge of the unit 
during baking.

Use less waffl e batter.

The waffl es are not 
baked enough.

Check the thermostat. 
It should be adjusted 
so that the heat is high 
enough for perfect 
baking.

The waffl es stick 
during baking.

The waffl e maker needs 
to be hot enough for 
perfect baking. Lightly 
butter the plates for 
better results.

My waffl e maker 
doesn’t work.

Make sure the “on” 
button is properly 
engaged.

6. CLEANING AND STORAGE

• Clean the unit after use and before storing.
•  Before cleaning, make sure the unit is turned off 

and unplugged and has cooled completely.

• Never dismantle the unit to clean it.
•  Remove any crumbs on the grids using a brush, 

and any oil residue using a dry cloth.

•  Gently wipe the grids using a damp cloth to 

prevent them from sticking and to remove 
any traces of batter. This will also prevent any 
accumulation of oil.

•  Wipe the outside of the unit with a soft, dry cloth.
