Connection

DANGER! Electric shock hazard! The device can cause injuries due to improper installation! Before installation and connecting the local power grid specification should be compared with that of the device (see rating plate). Connect the device only in case of compliance! Connect the device only to properly installed single socket with protective terminal.

 The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to 16A. Only connect the device directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips.

5.2 Operation Before the first use

 The appliance should be thoroughly cleaned before the first use. Follow instructions in

section 6 “Cleaning and maintenance”

.  Before the use, attach the draining tray.

CAUTION! Never use the appliance without the appropriately attached draining trays. 3

 Place the draining trays on the housing under both heating plates.  Leftovers from the cooking process and fat flow to the draining trays (

) during the operation. Control and empty them regularly. - 33 -

Before the first use, follow the steps below. Observe the instructions in sections “Starting” the appliance” and “Settings”:

1. Before the first operation, clean the heating plates. 2. Connect the appliance a grounded single socket. 3. Set the temperature at 300 °C and leave the appliance on without dough for ½ hour with the heating plates opened. Due to the technological residuals smoke may be emitted during heating. However, it does not indicate any appliance damage and it will not be released during further operation. Assure good ventilation in the room during the first heating. 4. Moisten the heating plates with sunflower oil or spray it three or four times with the anti-adhesion agent. In that way the pores in the plate cast will be closed and special coating will be formed .

Leave the appliance closed and on at 250 °C for approx. 20 minutes. 5. Repeat the steps in point 4. 6. Make (without any additional fat/oil) 2 - 4 waffles 220 °C - 230 °C and dispose of the first waffles. 7. During the process described in point 6 you can notice that every next waffle becomes better and after a few rounds of waffle making you will get clean and easily removable waffles.

Starting the appliance

 Prepare the waffle dough using your own recipe or our suggestions (section

“Tips and advice”

).  Close the upper heating plate using the handle.  Connect the appliance to a grounded single socket.

 Turn the appliance on using the ON/OFF switch (

) (fig. at the left). The green operation control light will be on.  The red control light (

) will be on indicating the heating of the appliance.

NOTE For the best results, pre-heat the appliance to the appropriate temperature before you start baking waffles.

Temperature setting 7 Baking waffles 9

 Set the required temperature using the temperature control (

) (fig. at the left). The temperature range is from 50 °C to 300 °C, the best waffle baking temperature is from 200 °C to 250 °C. Pre-heating time is approx. 30 minutes. The green heating control light (

) is on during the appliance pre-heating and is off when the temperature reaches its set value.

HOT SURFACE! Risk of burns! The heating plates and external surfaces of the appliance become very hot during the operation. In order to avoid burns never touch those surfaces and use only handles and operational elements).

 Open the heated appliance using the handles.

NOTE Do not use any additional oil or baking spray!

 Pour the prepared dough on the lower heating plate with use of ladle or spoon, starting from the centre and spreading evenly towards the edges of the heating plate. Pay attention to the amount of the dough used as its excess may be pushed out of the edges.  Close the appliance and turn the heating plate by 180 o using the handles to spread the dough evenly.  Depending on required colour bake for approx. 2-6 minutes  Open the appliance using the handles and carefully remove the baked waffles. - 35 -

WARNING! Risk of burns!



Touching the hot waffles with bare finders or palms may causa burns. To remove the products use only the high temperature resistant wooden or plastic spatula.

Never

use any sharp, pointed or metal objects. They may damage the heating plates.  Place the baked waffles on the grill to cool down.  After removing the waffle the appliance may be immediately refilled with dough. Make planned number of waffles according to the description above.  Turn the appliance off when you make a break in using it.

Turning the appliance off

 When you finish the waffle making, set the three-step temperature knob at

“0”

and turn the appliance off using the On/Off switch. Then, disconnect the appliance from the mains (unplug!).

Hints and advices

 Leave dough and other waffle ingredients at room temperature for a short time before preparing waffles.  Sifted flour will produce fluffier waffles.  Separate egg yolks from whites. Add yolks to dough first. Whisk the whites, then delicately add the foam without further mixing. This will help make the waffles fluffier.  Do not melt butter at overly high temperatures. Add to the dough after it has cooled slightly.  Mineral water can be used instead of milk. This will reduce the amount of baking powder needed because of the carbon dioxide content of mineral water.  Leave dough out for at least 30 min. before beginning to bake. Use all the dough at once, and do not store for longer periods of time.  Nuts, raisins and other additives should be added to the dough at the very end.  Waffles taste best when fresh from the waffle maker. They can be served with powdered sugar, honey, syrup, ice cream, etc. - 36 -

 For crispy waffles, place them next to each other on a cooling grate. Stacking waffles may cause them to go soft.  Finished, cooled waffles can be frozen. To prevent sticking, place baking paper between them, then freeze in bags or appropriate containers.  Remove the waffles from the freezer and leave to defrost at room temperature. Heat them before serving in an oven at 100 °C. Place them in a container with a cover or wrap in aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out.

Recipe for crispy waffles (approx. 10 waffles)

500 g flour 300 g sugar 400 g butter 6 eggs 2 pack.

vanilla sugar ½ tsp.

baking powder or baking soda pinch salt Mix the flour, baking powder (or baking soda), salt, sugar and vanilla sugar in a bowl, then make a small hole in the middle of the mixture. Melt the butter and mix with eggs. Then pour into the middle of the mixture and mix until the dough is smooth. Leave the dough out for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Bake waffles at 200 °C for around 2 - 3 minutes.

6. Cleaning and maintenance WARNING! Before cleaning, turn the appliance off using the ON/OFF switch and disconnect it from the mains (unplug!). Wait for the appliance to cool down. Never use pressurized water for cleaning the appliance! Be careful and do not let water into the appliance.
