to zero.
note: The timer works independently from the unit; it does not turn power to the unit on or

Helpful Hints
If desired, packaged waffle mixes may be prepared and baked in the Presto
✽
Batter made from some packaged mixes may have a shorter baking time, so it is recom-
mended that you check for doneness after 2 minutes.
Waffle batters, whether using mixes or homemade recipes, will vary and therefore the amount
✽
of batter needed for an evenly filled waffle without overflow will vary. It is recommended
that when making the first waffle you use a measuring cup to gauge how much batter is
needed. Generally between ¾ and 1 cup works best. never use more than 1 cup of batter.
If you get some overflow, be sure to use less batter for the next waffle.
For batters that don't flow when poured onto the waffle grid, use a heat-resistant spatula and spread out the batter evenly
✽
to the edges of the grid.
no-stick cooking sprays may be used to season the waffle maker. however, the waffle may not have a nice brown ap-
✽
pearance like you get when using cooking oil. Instead, the waffle may have a mottled appearance.
Because the grids are covered with a nonstick coating, there will be only an occasional need to apply vegetable oil or
✽
a no-stick cooking spray. Dessert batters may require an application of vegetable oil or no-stick cooking spray to the
waffle grids before cooking the first waffle and as needed for additional waffles.
Keep waffles warm and crisp until serving by placing them in a single layer directly on a rack in a 200˚ oven.
✽
If you have leftover waffles, freeze them. Cool extra waffles to room temperature. Place them between layers of waxed
✽
paper in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, pop the frozen waffles into
your toaster or reheat in an oven at 350˚ for about 10 minutes.
