Cleaning; Hints - Westfalia TXW-9816 Bedienungsanleitung

Cleaning

1. Disconnect the plug from the power source and allow the appliance to cool
completely before cleaning it! Do not immerse the waffle maker in water or
any other liquid!
2. Wipe the housing with a slightly moistened cloth. Do not clean the appliance
with aggressive chemicals or abrasives in order not to damage the surface.
3. After the waffle-grids have cooled, remove crumbs and other particles from
the grids with a brush and wipe with a kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
4. To avoid contamination and burning due to left-over particles or oil, clean the
Waffle Maker after each use.

Hints

Do not stir the waffle mixture too vigorously. To bake light and crispy waffles,
beat the egg whites separately and work them carefully into the mixture
before baking.
The amount of fat recommended in the Waffle Recipes may be slightly
reduced for the non-stick Waffle Maker. Note however, that a very low fat
mixture may result in the waffles sticking to the grid. If this occurs, oil the grids
slightly.
More crispy waffles can be achieved by leaving the waffles inside the opened
Waffle Maker for a few seconds, after the baking process is complete.
For very crispy waffles, use lukewarm water instead of milk. Milk makes the
waffles softer and darker. Use high grade flour.
Dry and cookie-like waffles can be achieved by selecting a low baking
temperature and a longer baking time. Do not open the waffle maker before
the first minute of the baking time is complete. Doing so may cause the
waffles to disintegrate. Bake the waffles completely before removing them
from the waffle maker.
Waffles taste best when eaten immediately after baking while they are still
warm. However waffles can also be stored in a closed container or in the
freezer. If you wish to store it in this way, choose a waffle mixture with a high
fat content and allow the waffles to cool down after baking and before storing
them.
Do not stack warm waffles on top of each other, as this will cause them to
become very soft.
Soft waffles are not suitable for keeping unless stored in the freezer. Frozen
waffles can be thawed and heated in a toaster. They come out of the toaster
tasting just like fresh waffles.
