a heat-proof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the non-stick
coating. ATTENTION! Never cut or scratch on the heating surface with sharp-edged
cutlery. This would harm the non-stick coating. Removing the waffle from the heating
surface you can refill the heating surface right away.
8. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet once baking has been completed.
Tips for making perfect waffles
To measure flour, stir the flour first to aerate it, since it settles when it sits. Then spoon
it into a measuring cup, levelling off the top with the back of a knife – do not pack
down into measuring cup. These quick steps will help you to avoid heavy waffles.
For best results: For loose batters, fill to the 3/4 mark (for thicker batters, fill to the
top) or enough to fill the entire lower grid. Pour batter evenly into the centre of the
waffle grids. NOTE: Do not cover the heating surface with too much batter. If the
batter has baking agents (such as soda, bakingpowder or yeast) the batter will leak
out of the sides of the wafflemaker. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread the batter
evenly over the grids.
TIP: For added convenience while baking waffles, rest measuring scoop with handle
hanging on outside of bowl and scoop on inside of bowl until the next baking cycle.
For golden brown waffles, we recommend using setting 4. If you prefer crisper,
darker Belgian waffles, increase the browning control.
Belgian waffles taste best when made to order, but baked Belgian waffles may be
kept warm in a 100 degree oven. Place 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, and then place in plastic
food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in an oven,
toaster or toaster oven when ready to use and serve the waffles warm.
To serve we recommend maple syrup, fruit syrups, warm fruit compote, fruit sauce
Fresh berries, chopped fruit, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, whipped cream, ice
cream, sorbet, chocolate sauce or fruit yogurt. Give your fancy full scope.
