OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

Before first use, remove and safely discard any
packing material, promotional labels and tape
from the waffle maker.

1. Wipe the waffle maker cooking plates with

a damp sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly.

2. Place the waffle maker on a flat, dry surface.

Ensure there is a minimum distance of
10cm of space on all sides of the waffle
maker. Ensure there are no items on top of
the waffle maker.

3. Unwind the power cord completely and

insert the power plug into a grounded
230/240V power outlet.

4. Turn the POWER/MENU dial clockwise

until the dial indicator reaches the desired
waffle type or choose the CUSTOM setting.
HEATING will be displayed on the LCD.

NOTE

When the waffle maker is turned on for
the first time, it may emit vapors. It is safe
and not detrimental to the performance
of the appliance.

5. There are 12 browning settings ranging

from '1' (lightest) to '12' (darkest). The
default browning setting is '6'. Use the
LIGHT-DARK browning control dial to
adjust the brownness of your waffle. Rotate
clockwise to increase brownness, or rotate
counterclockwise to reduce the brownness
for a lighter colored waffle.

NOTE

When using the waffle maker for the
first time, we recommend cooking on the
preset default 6 bar "golden brown" color
setting. You can also adjust the browning
setting to your preference.

6. Once the waffle maker has completed the

preheating cycle, two audible alerts will
sound and the LCD screen will turn orange.
Lift the top plate lid completely into the
open position. When the lid is in the
open position, the LCD will turn blue and
CLOSE LID TO START will appear. Pour
in the batter evenly into the waffle plates.
The batter should cover the peaks of the
waffle plate (approximately half the waffle
dosing cup for each waffle).

7. Close the lid once the batter has been

poured in. Once the lid is closed, the timer
will automatically begin to count down.
The LCD changes to orange to indicate
that the cooking cycle has commenced.
The waffle maker will automatically
calculate the correct cooking time
depending on a number of variables.

NOTE

Even if you have the same waffle batter
type and shade setting, the cooking time
may be different for each batch of waffles,
due to other inputs which are considered
when calculating the cooking time. This
is the correct function of the waffle maker.

NOTE

The storage clip should be in it's open
position when the waffle maker is
cooking.

9

OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

8. Three audible alerts will sound at the

end of the cooking cycle, the timer will
disappear and "End" will be shown on the
screen. Open the waffle maker lid and
carefully remove your waffles. If you will no
longer be cooking any more waffles, turn
the Selector Dial to the OFF position.

NOTE

Do not use metal utensils when removing
the waffles from the waffle maker as they
may scratch the non-stick surface.

NOTE

If waffles are not removed immediately
after the cooking cycle has completed,
an audible alert will sound every
30 seconds.

9. If you are cooking additional waffles,

simply add more batter to the lower waffle
plate and follow steps 7 & 8 above. If
necessary to reset the time cycle, press
the RESTART button.

A BIT MORE™

Allows you to conveniently and quickly
add time to a cooking cycle. A BIT MORE™
can be used both during the cooking cycle
or immediately after the cooking cycle has
finished. In both instances, it will add a small
amount of time proportional to the overall
cooking time for that batch of waffles.

10

CARE & CLEANING

Before cleaning, ensure the POWER | MENU
dial is set to the OFF position and then remove
the power plug from the power outlet.

Allow your waffle maker to cool a bit before
cleaning. The waffle maker is easier to clean
when slightly warm.

Always clean your waffle maker after each use
to prevent a buildup of baked-on foods. Wipe
cooking plates and overflow moat with a soft
cloth to remove food residue.

CAUTION

DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF THE
SAGE WAFFLE MAKER IN WATER OR
ANY OTHER LIQUID.

PFOA-FREE NON-STICK COATING

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimizes the
need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning
is easier. Any discoloration that may occur
will only detract from the appearance of the
waffle maker and will not affect the cooking
performance. When cleaning the non-stick
coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive)
scourers. Wash with warm soapy water.
Remove stubborn residue with a non abrasive
plastic scouring pad or nylon washing brush.

NOTE

The cooking plates, hinges and overflow
moat are coated with a non-stick surface,
do not use abrasives.

NOTE

Do not use spray-on nonstick coatings
as this will affect the performance of the
non-stick surface on the cooking plates.

STORAGE

To store your waffle maker:

1. Ensure the POWER | MENU dial is set to

the OFF position and then unplug power
cord from the power outlet.

2. Allow the waffle maker to fully cool.

3. Set the top plate storage clip into the

locked position.

4. Wrap the power cord in the cord wrap area

below the waffle maker.

5. Store on a flat, dry level surface.

NOTE

The storage clip should not be used to
clamp down the top plate when batter is
in the cooking plates.
