Important safeguards for electrical appliances
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to
connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at least
16 A). The power outlet socket must be installed separately from other power outlet sockets to
avoid interference with other appliances.
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requi-
24
rements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Donotuseanydesktopmultisocketoutlet,externaltimer,orremotecontrolsystems.Itis
best to avoid using an extension cord, but if you wish to use one, only use an extension cord
rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 16 A with safety plug and safety coupler
plug and protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Additionally, the extension
cord must be of sufficient length. When laying power cords, always ensure that no one will
step on the power cord or get entangled or trip over the power cords. Also, ensure that no
tension is applied to any part of the power cords. Tie the extension cord loosely onto the leg
of the table using a separate cord, to ensure that no one will pull the power cord. To connect:
always connect the appliance to the extension cord first. To disconnect: Always unplug the
extension cord from the power supply first.
• Alwayshandlepowercordswith care. The pinsofthepowerplugmust be smooth and
clean. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the appliance on
a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do
not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may
not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power
cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the
power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands when the appliance is
connected to the power supply.
• DO NOT drip or spill any liquids on the housing or power cord. Do not immerse the appli-
ance or power cord in water or other liquids. Do not pour or spill any liquids on the housing
or power cord. Do not place the appliance on wet surfaces. When liquids overflowed or are
spilled on the housing or power cord, immediately unplug the appliance. Thereafter, clean
the appliance and let it dry for at least 1 day. (see: ›Care and cleaning‹) Do not clean the
appliance in an automatic dishwasher.
High temperatures – risk of burns
WARNING! HOT SURFACE!
The Design Waffle Maker Pro is designed for baking food. For this purpose, the heating plates
are heated electrically. The heating elements start heating as soon as you connect the appli-
ance to the power supply. Thus, improper handling could cause severe injuries
and damage. Please keep this in mind to avoid burns and damage.
• Theheating plate, frameoftheheatingplate, lidandhousingofthe appliance can be very hot during operation and shortly thereafter. Additionally,
during preparation of your food, hot steam and splashes could escape. Do
not touch the hot surfaces with any parts or your body or any heat-sensitive or
moisture-sensitive objects during operation or while the appliance is still hot. Only touch the
appliance and its parts at the handles and operating elements during operation and shortly
thereafter. Beware of hot steam and condensate, when placing food on the heating plate. Do
not leave any foreign objects on the hot heating plate.
• Donotmovetheappliancewhenstillhot.Alwaysleavetheapplianceandallitspartscool
down before moving the appliance or cleaning the appliance. Do not place the appliance on
heat-sensitive surfaces, for operation or when hot.
• Donotoperatetheapplianceclosetoinflammable,volatilematerials(e.g.alcohol,spirit,or
benzine), or high-proof alcoholic beverages. Alcohol will quickly evaporate due to the heat,
thus building up an inflammable mixture that could be ignited by any source of ignition (e.g.
25
candles, cigarettes, and heating elements of the appliance), causing severe injuries to persons
and serious damage. DO NOT cook any high-proof alcoholic liquid or alcoholic
foodstuffs (e.g. mulled wine, grog) on the appliance. Do not pour any alcoholic liquid on the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire.
Non-stick coating
The heating plates of your Design Waffle Maker Pro are provided with non-stick coatings. Even
without using additional oil, food will not stick to the coated surfaces. Due to the baked food,
some discolouration may occur. However, this will not affect the baking performance.
Please adhere to the following precautions:
• Before first use, wipe the non-stick coatings of the heating plates with a little cooking oil.
Thereafter, there is no need to add any further oil for baking.

Before first use
Before firts use the waffle maker should be preheated for ten minutes closed and the temperature control set to the highest setting. This will remove the smell typically encountered when
first switching on the waffle maker. Please ensure sufficient ventilation. Clean the appliance
afterwards as described in ›Care and cleaning‹.
Before first use and after a long period of storage, clean the appliance with a damp soft cloth
26
and warm soapy water (see: ›Care and cleaning‹).
WARNING! Always unplug the appliance and wait for the appliance to cool down, before
cleaning. Do not pour or drip any liquids on the appliance or power cord. When liquids are
spilled on the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance and dry it to avoid risk of electric
shock or fire. Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in the electrical
section of the appliance. Do not clean the appliance in the dishwasher.
1. Remove all promotional materials and packing and place the appliance on a convenient
surface (see: ›Safety instructions‹). Do not remove the rating label.
2. Wipe the heating plates with a damp soft cloth and warm soapy water. Dry it properly after
cleaning.
Note: When using the Design Waffle Maker Pro for the first time, you may notice a fine smoke
haze, because of the first heating of some of the components. There is no need for concern. To
prevent smell and taste of your food from being affected, you should heat the appliance on the
highest temperature control setting without any dough. If the burnt smell occurs again on later
use, clean the appliance (see: ›Care and cleaning‹). If the burnt smell persists stubbornly even
after thoroughly cleaning the appliance, return the appliance to an authorised service centre
for examination and repair.
3. To grease the heating plates, brush the hot grids with a flavourless oil. Then wipe with a
paper towel or pastry brush.
4. Preheat your Design Waffle Maker Pro on the highest temperature control setting, turn on
the appliance and wait round about 8 minutes. The green indicator light will be illuminated
when the appliance is preheated and ready for filling in the dough. Turn the temperature control to the preferred setting. For best results, do not open waffle maker during cooking process.
Use
1. Prepare the dough. You will find a ›Recipes‹ section at the end of this manual.
2. Place the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large table or
counter. Do not place any cloth or tissue beneath or on the appliance, to avoid any risk of fire,
electric shock and overheating. Always keep the table or counter clean and dry and immediately wipe off spilled liquids. Ensure that there is no foreign substance on the heating plates.
Close the lid.
Do not touch the exterior of the Design Waffle Maker Pro while the appliance is in use. Always
keep your hands, face and arms as well as any clothing and other heat-sensitive objects away
from the waffle maker during operation and only touch the handle, or the temperature control.
Do not touch the heating plates.
Connect the appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall socket with
protective conductor (earth/ground; 220/240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for 16 A). The red indicator light will turn on as soon as the plug is connected to the power outlet.
3. Preheat your Design Waffle Maker Pro on the highest temperature control setting. Therefore
turn on the appliance and wait round about 8 minutes. The green indicator light will be illuminated when the appliance is preheated and ready for filling in the dough. Turn the temperature
control to the preferred setting. For best results, do not open the waffle maker during cooking
process. It is important that the heating plates are preheated and greased before the first use.
After finishing the first waffle no more greasing is necessary. To grease brush them with a
flavourless oil. Then wipe with a paper towel or pastry brush.
27
4. Make sure the appliance is ready-to-operate and the green indicator light is illuminated
before pouring the dough onto the heating plate.
Note: It is normal that a slight burnt smell occurs during the first operation (see: ›before first use‹).
WARNING! Pouring dough onto the preheated heating plates dough or grease might spurt
out. Keep enough distance to the appliance during operation and do not touch the hot exterior
or heating plates of the waffle maker. For opening the lid use the handle only.
5. Pour dough evenly into the centre of the waffle grids. Use a heat-proof spatula (no metal
cooking cutlery!) to spread the dough evenly over the grids. Close the lid. Pay attention not
touch the hot exterior of the appliance. Shortly after having filled in the dough the green control lamp turns off. The red control lamp lights up.
6. The baking time is in general 3 – 5 minutes, depending on the nature of the dough as well
as the selected temperature. Choose your preferred setting on the temperature control. Check
the level of browning. Should the waffle be too light or too dark, adjust the temperature control
or baking time. Once the baking process is finished, the red control lamp turns out, and the
green one lights up again. Remove the waffle immediately. To prevent damage to the non-stick
coating, do not use any sharp or pointed objects to remove the food.
7. Once the waffle is ready, open the lid and remove waffle by gently loosening the edges
with a heat-proof plastic spatula. Never use metal utensils, as they may damage the non-stick
coating.
8. Place fresh dough into the waffle maker immediately after removing the waffle.
9. After use, remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appliance to cool down with
its cooking plates open.
ATTENTION! Never cut or scratch on the heating plates with sharp-edged cutlery. This would
harm the non-stick coating. Removing the waffle from the heating plates you can refill the heating plates. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet once baking has been completed.
Tips for making perfect waffles
To measure flour, stir the flour first to aerate it, since it settles when it sits. Then spoon it into a
measuring cup, levelling off the top with the back of a knife – do not pack down into measuring cup. These quick steps will help you to avoid heavy waffles.
For best results: For loose dough, fill to the 3/4 mark (for thicker dough, fill to the top) or enough
to fill the entire lower grid. Pour dough evenly into the centre of the waffle grids.
Note: Do not cover the heating plates with too much dough. If the dough has baking agents
(such as soda, bakingpowder or yeast) the dough will leak out of the sides of the waffle maker.
Use a heat-proof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids.
Belgian waffles taste best when made to order, but baked Belgian waffles may be kept warm
in a 100 degree oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while in the oven. (Waffles wrapped in foil may lose their crispness.)
Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool completely, and then place in plastic food storage
bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat in an oven, toaster or toaster oven
when ready to use and serve the waffles warm.
To serve we recommend maple syrup, fruit syrups, warm fruit compote, fruit sauce, fresh
28
berries, chopped fruit, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, whipped cream, ice cream, sorbet,
chocolate sauce or fruit yogurt. Give your fancy full scope.
