Do not touch the exterior of the Design Wafflemaker while the appliance is in use.
Always keep your hands, face and arms as well as any clothing and other heat-
sensitive objects away from the wafflemaker during operation and only touch the
handle, attachment, or the control panel. Do not touch the heating surface.
Connect the appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall
socket with protective conductor (earth/ground; 220 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz, AC, rated
for 16 A).
The netindicatorlight will turn on as soon as the plug is connected to the power outlet.
1. Place the waffle maker on a dry, stable countertop or other surface where you
will be using it. Then turn the handle onto the shaft.
2. Plug into a 220 - 240 volt outlet. The red power light will go on, indicating that
the waffle maker has power and is ready to begin preheating. The red power
light will remain on until you unplug the unit.
3. Push the toggle switch to on to begin the preheating process. The LED back-
ground displays blue and shows a default cooking time of 2:30.
4. When the blue ready light is on and 3 beeps sound, preheating is finished. At
that moment, one black point will be flashing in the LED display and a blue light
illuminates under the colour button.
5. Before making the first waffle, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top and bot-
tom waffle grids with vegetable oil or melted shortening. Cooking spray will also
work well for this purpose.
6. Ladle enough batter to fill the lower waffle plate so that the peak areas of the
plate are just barely covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter
into the corners of grid.
7. Press the colour button to adjust the cooking time in 30 second increments from
2:30 (lightest) to 4:00 (darkest) (see: pic. D). If you want a crispier waffle for
any cooking time setting, press the crisp button and a blue light illuminates under
the crisp button.
8. Close the baker lid. Rotate the housing 180° clockwise. Press the start button;
the blue ready light will be off and the baking timer begins its countdown. While
baking, the black point in LED display will stop flashing. If you want to change
the time setting, you can press reset button and then colour button to reset the
time. Then press start button to begin the cooking time countdown again.
9. When the selected cooking time is up, you will hear 4 beeps, the blue ready
light will illuminate, the black point will start flashing, and the cooking time set-
ting will remain as selected.
