OPERATION
WARNING
– Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and acces-
sories are out of reach of young children. Your new WAFFLE IRON ADVANCED
CONTROL is intended for cooking edible food and is heated electrically. Thus the
surfaces of the appliance (even the exterior) get very hot. During operation and
while the appliance is still hot, only touch the appliance at the operating elements
(lid handle, buttons, and browning control dial) to avoid burns. To avoid risk of
overheating and fire: Do not place any clothes or tissue or other foreign objects
on or under the appliance during operation. Do not place any inflammable objects
on the waffle plates. Do not pour any inflammable liquids (e.g. alcohol) on the
waffle plates. Do not leave any food carbonize on the waffle plates. Do not place
the appliance on heat-sensitive surfaces during operation.
Only place the appliance on a stable, dry, heat-resistant, and level surface (see:
'General Safety Instructions'). During operation, the used power outlet and the ope-
rating elements must be accessible all the time (see: 'Knowing Your New Waffle
Maker'). Do not block the ventilation slits at the bottom of the housing.
During operation, ensure to keep the appliance in an appropriate distance of at least
50 cm on each side to the edge of the working space and any delicate objects.
Additionally leave at least 1 m of free space above the appliance for free access.
Do not operate the appliance under drop lights or overhanging boards.
Before operating the appliance, always ensure that all parts are in proper working
order and completely dry. Do not use any damaged or unsuited parts or accesso-
ries to avoid risk of injuries and damage.
Please keep in mind that hot steam may escape, when filling in the batter and during
baking. Do not hold any part of your body or any delicate objects over or near the
appliance. Protect your hands and arms with oven gloves. During operation, ensure
that all persons (including you) stay in sufficient distance. Expect splashes of hot fat
and batter in the surroundings of the appliance.
CAUTION
– Do not scratch or cut on the waffle plates. Do not use any
hard or sharp-edged objects (e.g. knives, metal scrapers) with the appliance to
avoid damage to the surfaces, especially the non-stick coating. Only use heat-
resistant wood or plastic cooking utensils.
IMPORTANT - For heating up the appliance, always close the lid. This way the
pre-heating process is done in a shorter time and with less energy consumption.

NOTE
During the very first heating, the appliance may give off some light smoke or bur-
ned smell. This is normal and will subside with further use. Before baking waffles
for the very first time, heat the appliance without batter for approx. 20 minutes for
preparing the heating elements for operation (see: 'Before First Use').
PREPARATIONS
CAUTION
– Do not place the appliance on coated surfaces of delicate
furniture, even when the appliance is cold. Delicate surfaces could get damaged
by scratches or abrasion of the rubber feet of the appliance. For moving the appli-
ance, the lid may be locked to the base via the locking clip (vertical closed posi-
tion). Do not attempt to open the lid with violence (see: 'Properties of Your New
Waffle Maker / Locking the Lid to the Base').
WARNING
– Always completely unwind the power cord, before connecting
the appliance to the power supply. Do not operate the appliance with the power cord
wrapped around the cord storage to avoid damage and injuries due to overheating
and short circuit. As soon as the appliance is switched on and the LCD display illu-
minates, the heating elements start heating the waffle plates at the base and lid.
After switching on, only touch the appliance at the operating elements.
1. Completely unwind the power cord of the appliance. Then place the appliance
on a suitable and heat-resistant surface (see: 'General Safety Instructions') near a
suitable wall power outlet (see: 'Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances').
Turn the locking clip counter-clockwise to the horizontal open position for unlo-
cking the lid. Thereafter, you can open the lid without resistance. Ensure that the
waffle plates are clean and dry.
2. Close the lid. With the lid closed, the waffle plates reach the desired cooking
temperature quickly, and without useless energy loss.
3. Prepare your waffle batter. Some appropriate recipes are given in this booklet.
4. Connect the appliance to a sufficient power supply (see: 'Technical Specifica-
tions'). Press the power button for switching on the appliance. The LCD display
illuminates, showing the defaults: program "BELGIAN", medium browning (level
4), and texture function "CRISP EXTERIOR MOIST EXTERIOR". The appliance
starts heating immediately.
5. Select the required settings (see below: 'Entering Your Settings').
