GENERAL USAGE

KNOW YOUR CONTROL PANEL

• Start/Stop Button – Starts a function or Stops a cooking cycle
• Settings Dial – Selects the type of waffle (Belgian, Classic, Liege or Custom)
• Light/Dark Dial – Selects the doneness of the waffle
• Texture Button – Selects the texture (Fluffy to Crunchy)

Your Waffle Maker automatically selects a temperature and time once you choose a waffle program. While cooking, the display will count down as time elapses. At the end of the cooking program, three beeps will sound and the timer will resume the previous setting time. The digits blink waiting for the next round of batter. The unit will switch to standby mode (display off) after 10 minutes. If cooking multiple waffles, add new batter within 10 minutes.

• For evenly sized waffles, pour batter into the center of the waffle plate and spread out to the edges of the plate
• Be careful not to overfill the waffle plates
• Always clean your waffle plates after each use (see below)
