CARE & CLEANING
Here are a few easy steps to keep your waffle maker
looking and working like new:
1 Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool before
cleaning. There is no need to disassemble the waffle maker
for cleaning. Never immerse the waffle maker in water or
place in dishwasher.
2 Brush away any loose crumbs from the grooves. Wipe grids
clean with a paper towel, absorbing any oil or butter that
might be down in the grooves of the grid. You can also wipe
grids with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive that
can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
3 Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only.
Do not clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or
steel wool, as this will damage the finish. Do not immerse in
water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.
4 Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little
cooking oil onto the hardened batter. Let sit 5 minutes to
soften batter, then wipe off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
5 Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles, they can
damage the non-stick surface.
10 When baking is complete, simply unplug the power cord
from wall outlet. Leave waffle maker open to cool. Do not
clean until unit has cooled.
Waffle Baking Tips
1 Cooking times may vary. Depending on your taste
preference, leave the waffle in longer for darker, crispier
waffles or shorter for light and fluffy waffles. Different waffle
batters will also cook up differently.
2 When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will
be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients
disappear.
3 The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle,
without overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters.
Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge how
much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid of waffle maker
with enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid.
4 For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer
edge of grid, using a heat proof rubber spatula or other non-
metallic utensil before closing lid.
5 Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more
tender than regular waffles, and may require more care when
removing from waffle maker. You may want to break these
waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use a spatula
to support waffles when removing from the waffle maker.
6 To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling
rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
7 When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot
and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven
until ready to serve.
8 Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack.
Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container,
separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles in
toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
