9. When finished baking, be certain to unplug the WafflePro

maker switched off.
MAKING WAFFLES WITH UNIFORM TEXTURE
Waffles made with the “Uniform Texture” baking cycle will be evenly baked throughout their
thickness. They will have a crunchy and drier texture. The amount of moisture retention will
depend on the color control setting. Generally the color control setting will be lower and the
baking time will be about twice that expected with the “Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior” setting.
1. Depress the lower portion of the black circular rocker switch marked “Uniform Texture”.
Set the color control dial to 3½ for the first waffle.
2. Pour or ladle about
1
/3 level cup of batter from a ladle or pitcher in the middle of the lower waffle
grid. A thicker batter, thin enough to just pour slowly works best. Do not overfill the grid.
3. Close the lid immediately after adding the batter so that the lid will level out the batter.
A special hinge at the rear adjusts automatically to ensure a uniform thickness of the waffle.
4. The red light will come on indicating the waffle is baking.
5. When the waffle is ready the red light goes off, the green light comes on, and the beeper
sounds briefly.
6. Lift the lid and inspect the waffle. If you want a slightly browner waffle, close the lid and cook
for another 20 seconds or so.
7. When the color is right, remove waffle with a plastic spatula or fork. As needed increase or
decrease the color control for the next cycle. Once you establish the optimum color setting, it
will not require any change in the future unless you alter the waffle recipe or switch to “Crisp
Exterior/Moist Interior.”
8. Add batter for the next waffle or close lid until you are again ready to bake. The green light will
remain on until WafflePro
®
cools slightly. Then the red light will alternately come on to keep the
grids hot until you are ready for the next waffle.
9. When finished baking, be certain to unplug the WafflePro
®
. Only then is the power to the waffle
maker switched off.
Always unplug the WafflePro
®
immediately after use. Never leave it unattended when plugged in.
Children should not be allowed to use a waffle maker except in the presence of an attentive adult.
The WafflePro
®
cools faster when its lid is left fully open. Store only when cold. Save shelf space
by storing the WafflePro
®
upright resting on its hinged flat end.
WAFFLE BASICS
Superb waffles begin with a good recipe but depend on a versatile waffle maker to fully develop
the flavor, texture and aroma of the batter. A perfect waffle is no accident. It is the combination
of a brownish crisp exterior and an interior texture baked the way you like it. Some of us prefer
a waffle with a moist interior like freshly baked bread. Such a waffle has the greatest flavor
and aroma. Others want a uniformly crunchy waffle, one that is baked slowly with less interior
moisture. You may like to bake breakfast waffles that are crisp on the outside and fluffy inside
but you may want a chocolate dessert waffle, destined to be served with a scoop of ice cream,
that is crunchy throughout.
The WafflePro
®
incorporates the unique Quad
®
baking system to ensure a waffle baked the way
you prefer. You select either a fast bake or a deep bake. Then you select a color control setting.
