The entire waffle plate should be filled. • For added convenience while baking waffles, rest the measuring cup on the lip of the bowl containing the batter until the next baking cycle. • We recommend turning the browning control dial to setting #4 when using commercial pancake/waffle mixes and for the included recipes. If you prefer crisper, darker Belgian waffles, set the browning control higher. If you prefer lighter waffles, turn the browning control dial down. • If waffles tend to stick to waffle plates, add slightly more oil or butter to the batter. • Belgian waffles taste best when made to order, but baked Belgian waffles may be kept warm in a 200˚F (95°C) oven. Place them in a baking pan or wrap them in foil while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispness. • Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow them to cool completely, and then place them in a plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in an oven, toaster or toaster oven when ready to serve. 5 For best results, do not open waffle maker RECIPES during cooking process. Doing so will offset the timing mechanism.
