First use
Before first use and after a long period of storage, clean the appliance with a damp
soft cloth and warm soapy water (see Care and Cleaning).
WARNING! Always unplug the appliance and wait for the appliance to cool
down, before cleaning. Do not pour or drip any liquids on the appliance or power
cord. When liquids are spilled on the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance
and dry it to avoid risk of electric shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate the
appliance, when liquids are on or in the electrical section of the appliance. Do not
clean the appliance in the dishwasher.
1. Remove all promotional materials and packing and place the appliance on a convenient
surface (explained in the safeguards).
2. Wipe the heating surface with a damp soft cloth and warm soapy water. Dry it
properly after cleaning.
NOTE: When using the Design Wafflemaker for the first time, you may notice a fine
smoke haze, because of the first heating of some of the components. There is no
need for concern. To prevent smell and taste of your food from being affected, you
should heat the appliance on browning level 6 without any batter. If the burnt smell
occurs again on later use, clean the appliance (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). If the burnt
smell persists stubbornly even after thoroughly cleaning the appliance, return the appliance
to an authorised service centre for examination and repair.
3. To grease the heating surface, spray the hot grids with cooking spray or brush
them with a flavourless oil. Then wipe with a paper towel or pastry brush.
4. Preheat your Design Wafflemaker on setting 4 or preferred setting, turn on the
appliance and wait round about 4 minutes. You will hear 6 beeps and the green
indicatorlight will be illuminated when the appliance is preheated and ready for
filling in the batter. Turn the browningcontrol on the preferred setting. For best results,
do not open waffle maker during cooking process. Doing so will interfere with the
timing mechanism.
Usage
1. Prepare the batter. You find recipes page 27 and following.
2. Place the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large
table or counter. Do not place any cloth or tissue beneath or on the appliance, to avoid
any risk of fire, electric shock and overheating. Always keep the table or counter
clean and dry and immediately wipe off spilled liquids. Ensure that there is no foreign
substance on the heating surface. Close the lid. Place the drip tray underneath the
wafflemaker. The bulge of the tray should slide into the device on the pedestal.
