TIPS FOR MAKING
PERFECT WAFFLES
We recommend setting #3 for golden
brown waffles.
If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the
browning control to setting #4 or 5.
For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the
center of the lower grid and close the cover.
We recommend using 1/3 cup batter per waffle
for evenly filled waffles.
Waffles are best when made to order, but baked
waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven.
Place on a rack or in a baking pan or wrap in foil
while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may
lose their crispness.
Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool
completely, then place in plastic food storage
bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles
separated. Reheat in a toaster or
toaster oven when ready to use.

setting #3 (green indicator light will be illuminated
when preheated). *
Pour 1/3 cup batter onto the center of the lower
grid; spread batter, using a heatproof spatula, to
within 1/2 inch of the edge of the grid. Close lid of
waffle maker – indicator light will turn red. When
light turns green again, waffle is ready. Open lid
and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with
remaining batter. For best results, serve immedi-
ately. You may keep waffles warm until ready to
serve in a 200°F oven.

a golden brown baked waffle. Adjust the
browning control if you prefer lighter or
darker waffles.
