IMPORTANT - Take your waffles out of the appliance, when the signal sounds.
Otherwise, your waffles may get burned. The waffle maker is not intended for
keeping you waffles warm.
IMPORTANT - The appliance heats the waffle plates, even after the baking cycle
is finished. Therefore, it is important to switch off the appliance via the power but-
ton, when it is useless to heat the waffle plates (e.g. whenever you wish to make
a break). Typically, the appliance is ready for use again within a few minutes
(max. 4 minutes).
PRE-DEFINED PROGRAMS
4 pre-defined programs are provided for various types of waffle batters, holding
appropriate settings for controlling the baking time and temperature: "BELGIAN";
"CLASSIC"; "CHOCOLATE"; "BUTTERMILK" (see: 'Smart Control'). An additional
program for manual control ("CUSTOM") enables the flexible usage of the appli-
ance (see below).
The programs calculate the required baking time for getting the desired results auto-
matically. When the correct baking time is reached and the count-down of the bak-
ing time reaches zero, an acoustic signal sounds (see: 'Smart Control').
Note: We recommend to select a program that is designed for your type of waffle
batter. When creating your own recipes, select a program that is as far as possible
similar to the type of batter, the pre-defined programs are created for. Examples are
given in the recipes in this booklet.
The baking program is selected via the menu button. On the LCD display, an arrow
at the left side of the menu indicates the currently selected program.
Using the appropriate program, in usual cases your waffles are baked with opti-
mum results. Via correctly adapted settings for browning and texture, your individu-
al likings can be realized (see below: '7 Browning Levels' and 'Texture Functions').
Adjust the settings, when you are somewhat experienced.
When using a pre-defined program, a signal sounds after the baking time elapsed.
Open the lid and remove the waffles or close the lid again and leave the waffles
bake within the appliance for some more seconds (see: 'Operation / Adding Some
More Baking Time').
Manual Control
Additionally, you can control the baking time manually via the program "CUSTOM".
Select this program for monitoring the baking time by yourself (see: 'Operation /
EN
78
Controlling the Baking Cycle Manually'). After removing the baked items, you may
start the baking time again via the restart button.
IMPORTANT - Please consider that the program "CUSTOM" may not give any
signal for the end of baking. You must monitor the baking cycle by yourself and
keep an eye on the baking time shown on the LCD display.
7 BROWNING LEVELS
The browning is displayed in the upper part of the LCD display via 7 dashes: from
"LIGHT" to "DARK". You select the browning via the browning control dial at the
right side of the LCD display. Turn the browning control dial until the desired brow-
ning is displayed via the appropriate number of dashes.
NOTE
You control the temperature of the waffle plates via the browning. Therefore, when
baking a batter with high contents of sugar or other heat-sensitive ingredients, it
may be better to use a light browning level and a program with long baking time.
TEXTURE FUNCTIONS
You may select one of two texture functions for getting the desired consistency of your
waffles, generating a crisp exterior with moist (and soft) interior or getting uniform
texture. Press the texture button on the control panel for toggling between the texture
functions. The selected function is shown on the LCD display above the baking time.
The »Design Waffle Maker« offers 2 texture functions for selecting the consistency
of your waffles: „CRISP EXTERIOR MOIST INTERIOR" and „UNIFORM TEXTURE".
NOTE
The texture function has no influence, when using manual control ("CUSTOM").
RESTART FUNCTION
You can start a baking cycle by pressing the restart button.
NOTE
The appliance detects the cold batter on the waffle plates. When baking your waf-
fles via a pre-defined program, the baking cycle is started automatically by closing
the lid. However, with the manual control („CUSTOM") it may be required to start
the baking cycle manually via the restart button.
