• Close the lid, wait 3 to 4 seconds and then rotate the head.
• After 2 more minutes, rotate the head back to its starting
position.
IMPORTANT: The rotation process is important for making the
best waffles. If you do not do this, your waffles will look less
appetizing (squares on top tray not filled in completely, light
spots on waffle making the surface irregular). Even with rotation,
this may happen also if you do not use enough batter. However,
be careful as the appliance may release steam during turning. We
recommend using a potholder or mitt when rotating.
• The green light will come on and the appliance will emit four
short tones when it is time to open the lid.
IMPORTANT: Cooking waffles is a subtle art in which the sligh-
test change in ingredient proportions in the dough can affect
appearance and flavour significantly. The timing of the green
ready light was calculated based on a standard waffle dough
recipe and the opinions of a representative consumer panel.
Differences in timing due to your own particular prefe-
rences are not to be considered a defect of the appliance.
• Remove the waffles by piercing each one with a sharp-tipped
knife and lifting away gently from the cooking plate.
1.1 Troubleshooting
• Waffle top and bottom coming apart: removing too quickly from
mould.
• Waffles breaking apart: batter too watery or too dry (not enough fat).
• Waffles burning: cooking too long or forgetting about waffles!
• Waffles burnt on one side, uncooked on the other: filled
improperly or batter too watery or appliance not rotated.
• Waffles sticking to moulds: plates greased incorrectly or plates
too hot for first waffles or too much sugar or not enough fat in
the batter.
1.2 What to do in the event of problems
For all problems:
• Unplug the appliance.
• Allow to cool, remove the plates and soak for 5 minutes, brush
the plates with a nylon or other plastic dish brush. Dry the plates
thoroughly, insert them again, plug the appliance back in and
follow the cooking instructions carefully from the start.
• Apply grease repeatedly if cooking many waffles.
We guarantee beautiful waffles if you follow the provided
instructions closely.
2. Mini-waffles, Bricelets and Dry Waffles
• We recommend starting with positions 2.5 and 'moelleuses'
('soft').
• Heat the appliance until the green light comes on.
• Grease the plates just before pouring the batter.
• Spread about a tablespoon (or four smaller spoonfuls if four
moulds) of thick batter on the lower plate.
• Close the lid and squeeze the handles for a few moments to help
distribute the batter evenly. Close the locking mechanism securely.
Note: This mechanism may be left attached to the appliance.
Position it to the left or right depending on whether you are
right or left-handed.
