YOU MADE
A GOOD
CHOICE
T
he WafflePro® Express Taste/Texture Select® Model 840B comes
to you from Chef’sChoice
®
, the maker of the world’s finest
professional household gourmet products. The WafflePro
®
Express brings to the home features found only in commercial waffle
makers. Its unique Quad
®
Baking System allows you to select that
“just right” texture and taste. A highly versatile waffle maker, it will for
example bake rapidly for a crisp golden brown exterior while retaining
a moist interior, like crusty bread hot from the oven. Or, with the flick
of a switch, the WafflePro
®
Express makes a crunchy waffle with a
uniform texture throughout.
Remember when waffles were only for the weekends when Mom and
Dad had more time? The WafflePro
®
Express puts waffles back on
the menu everyday! It heats up while the coffee is being brewed and
your first waffle is ready when your coffee is poured. And, because it
heats so rapidly, you’ll be making waffles just about as fast as they
can be eaten.
Imagine waffles with the natural aroma and taste of freshly baked
bread and pastries. Make up a batch of a quick Basic Waffle recipe
the night before so it’s ready to bake in the heated WafflePro
®
Express
every morning. Enjoy!
The Chef’sChoice
®
WafflePro® Express Model 840B creates a waffle
pattern virtually identical to the most popular waffles of Belgium and
Holland. The resulting waffle has deep pockets, ideal for toppings such
as fresh fruits, sauces and syrups. The authentic Belgian waffle maker
can be rectangular, square or round. Regardless of overall shape, the
individual depressions in a Belgium Waffle are deep.

GETTING TO KNOW THE WafflePro® Express
®
Take a minute to identify the key features and controls of WafflePro® Express®, (Figure 1) made
of high strength, high temperature engineering plastics with a polished stainless steel lid.
To open the lid, pull forward the front latch and lift by the insulated front plastic handle.
Electronic controls are on the control panel, Figure 2.
Take a moment to understand the use of the circular black Rocker Switch, Figures 1 and 2. Press
the upper portion of the rocker switch for a fast bake and for waffles with “Crisp Exterior/Moist
Interior”, or press at the bottom of the rocker switch for a deep bake and for waffles that have a
more “Uniform Texture” throughout.
Above the rocker switch is a red light marked “Baking” to indicate when the waffle plates are
being heated. Below that is a green light marked “Ready” to indicate either that the waffle plate
is at baking temperature or that the waffle is “Ready” to be removed and served.
An audible “Ready Beeper” sounds when the green light comes on to further indicate when the
waffle is ready to serve.
The color control dial is graduated numerically. The waffle will be darker or lighter in color
depending on the exact setting of this wheel and the position of the rocker switch. This control
wheel is relatively sensitive and fractional numerical changes can make a notable difference
in color. The optimum exact setting for the color control depends on the type of waffle you are
baking. To darken the waffle, move toward a higher number; to lighten, turn to a lower number.
A unique suspension system allows the lid to raise evenly in order to maintain a uniform
thickness of the waffle as it bakes and rises.

Provision has been made for cord storage as described in Storage Section. The cord can be
stored under the WafflePro
®
Express® secured by clips molded under the base.
The WafflePro
®
Express® can be stored upright to save shelf space. Simply close the lid and
stand it upright resting on the flat hinged end.
USING WafflePro® Express® FOR FIRST TIME
Insert the power cord into a grounded 120 volt outlet and close the cover. The red “baking” light
will turn on indicating the waffle plates are heating. Set the color control dial to between 2 and
3. You can shorten the warm-up time by pressing the top of the black circular rocker switch
adjacent to the marking “Crisp Exterior/ Moist Interior.”
In about 3½ minutes the red light will turn off, the green Ready light will turn on and the Beeper
will sound indicating the waffle plates are up to temperature and ready for baking. On the first
heating you may sense a slight odor during the heat-up cycle, typical of new heating elements
with non-stick surface coatings.
When “Ready”, open the lid and brush or spray a light coating of non stick vegetable or corn oil
on the entire surface area of both the upper and lower heated grids (or you may use non-stick
cooking spray). Because both of the baking surfaces are factory finished with an anti-stick coating, it is necessary to oil the surfaces only before the first time you use the WafflePro
®
Express®
and after long periods of storage. It should not be necessary to otherwise oil again.
Pour about ½ cup of waffle batter onto the middle of the lower grid and close the lid. Discard the
first waffle as it will absorb any excess oil which you used on the grids.
