IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or
appliance in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Do
not attempt any internal servicing on this appliance, but return to
VILLAWARE MFG. CO. for examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.

11. To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet.

12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

13. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad
and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock.

14. This appliance is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As
a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

No serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to VILLAWARE MFG. CO.

1. A short electrical cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping, etc. As with all electrical appliances, any exten
sion cord must have a rating at least equal to the electrical rating of the
appliance. Care should be taken not to allow cords to hang over the edge
of a counter or tabletop. (If you appliance has a grounded 3-prong plug,
you must use the compatible 3-wire extension cord.)

2. Do not allow appliance to come into contact with any flammable
materials such as draperies, walls, etc.

YOUR INTER-BAKER INCLUDES 3 SETS OF GRIDS

Waffle grids, one pair
Sandwich Grilling grids, one pair
Pizzelle Cookie grids, one pair

The removable grids should be washed when using them for the first time.
Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Never put any part
of the appliance in the dishwasher.

To install grids: With grid centered on the housing, insert the 2 tabs at
back of grids and then press the front of the grid downward until it snaps
into position. For safety, it is recommended to use a pot holder or oven
mitts when installing or removing hot grids.

To remove grids: Slide grid clip at front of unit forward until grid is
released. Lift grid out.

HOW TO USE YOUR INTER-BAKER APPLIANCE

1. Plug unit into 110-120 volt AC wall outlet.When the unit is new you may

notice a slight smoking or odor. This is normal and will not recur.
The red light will glow, indicating that the baker has begun preheating.
It will take 8-10 minutes to reach baking temperature. When the baking
temperature is reached the red light will turn OFF. After this point, you will
see the light go ON and OFF. This means that the baking temperature is
being maintained, and is not telling you when to start or stop baking.

2. When using for the first time, thoroughly wash and then dry the baking
grids.

3. Now youʼre ready to bake Waffles, grill Sandwiches, or bake Pizzelles.
Just insert the appropriate grids, and follow the instructions for the food
you are preparing as shown a little further on in this booklet.

4. When baking, never use metal utensils, which can damage the non­stick surface of the grids. Let only wood or plastic utensils contact the
non-stick surface.

5. When finished, remove the plug from the wall socket. Let cool.

over-mix.

IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK or are interrupted, close the
baker to maintain maximum heat. A hot waffler produces best results.
Waffles may tend to stick if the iron cools down.

EXTRA CRISPY WAFFLES may be produced by allowing a longer
baking time. Shorten the baking time for less crispiness.

LIGHTER WAFFLES may be produced by first beating the egg yolks,
blending with flour & other ingredients, then gently folding beaten egg
whites into the batter.

6. Finally, itʼs easy to clean up. See clean up instructions further on in
this booklet.

Making Waffles

1. Before the first waffle of the day use a pastry brush to lightly coat the

top and bottom waffle grids with a vegetable oil or melted shortening.
Spray shortenings work well for this purpose.

2. Ladle just enough batter to fill lower grid so that the peak areas of
the grid are covered. If necessary, a spatula may be used to spread the
batter into the corners of grid.

3. Close the baker. Do not open the baker for at least 1-1/2 minutes.
Opening too soon will cause unbaked waffles to split, top from bottom.

4. Remove waffles from the grid with a non-metallic utensil. Waffles are
ready to serve.

5. If you need to take a short break, or are interrupted, close the baker
to maintain maximum heat. A hot waffler produces best results. Waffles
may tend to stick if the iron cools down.

For Best Waffle Baking Results

DO NOT OPEN WAFFLER during the first 90 seconds of baking. Wait
until most of the escaping steam slows down. If opened to soon, waffle
will split and become difficult to remove.

STIR WAFFLE BATTER just until large lumps disappear. Do not

WHEN SERVING WAFFLES flip them over onto a plate with bottom side
up. Gravity lets the bottom fill out completely, whereas there is not always
enough rise for the batter to perfectly fill out the top half of the waffle grid.

FOR A CRISPIER WAFFLE you may use a cooling rack to let waffles cool
down and dry out.

Making Sandwiches

1. Each time you grill sandwiches, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the

top and bottom waffle grids with a small amount of margarine, butter or
shortening. A spray shortenings may be used for this purpose.

2. Close the Inter-Baker and prepare sandwich while unit is heating.

3. Fully open the Inter-Baker. Place a slice of bread in the bottom half

with the buttered side against the grid.

4. First, form a hollow by pressing the bottom slice of bread into the
bottom grid-cavity, and then fill the sandwich.

5. Cover sandwich with the top slice, keeping the buttered side up,
and carefully close the sandwich maker. Do not force shut. Steam will
escape from between the grids while pressing sandwich together. Care
must be taken to assure that fingers are kept away from the escaping
steam.

6. Lock the two halves together with the handle clip while sandwiches are
toasting.

7. Your sandwich will be toasted in about 3-4 minutes. Toast longer or
shorter to suit your taste. Baking times vary according to type of bread or
food you are cooking, and how well you prefer it done. Open the toaster
and remove sandwich using plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal
utensils which may damage the non-stick coating.

8. Close the lid to maintain proper baking temperature until ready to toast
the next sandwiches.

9. While sandwiches are cooking, you may prepare additional
sandwiches ahead of time.

Making Pizzelles

1. Before the first pizzelles of the day only, use a pastry brush to carefully

coat the entire surface of both halves of the pizzelle baker with vegetable
oil or melted shortening. Spray shortenings work very well for this pur
pose. Repeat this only at the start of each day that you bake pizzelles.

2. Place about 1 heaping teaspoon of batter on each grid pattern. With
some experimentation, you will learn that by placing the batter slightly
behind the center of the pattern (that is, away from you) your pizzelles will
come out closer to a round shape. This is because as you close the iron,
the batter squeezes forward a little.

-

bake much faster because extra heat has been allowed to build up.

6. When you are through baking, simply unplug from the wall outlet to
turn off, and leave baker open to allow it to cool. After it has cooled,
brush crumbs from the grooves and wipe off grids with a dry paper towel
to absorb any excess margarine or shortening.

For Best Pizzelle Baking Results

BAKING HINT Place batter on hot grid as quickly as you can. It is
normal for the center of the 1st cookie that you bake to tend to look a
little darker in the center than the 2nd pizzelle cookie. This is because
the first lump of batter starts baking instantly the moment it touches the
hot grid. Anyway it is normal that there is some color and size variations
when serving pizzelles, with some cookies baking a little darker or lighter
or larger or smaller, etc.

MORE ABOUT PLACING THE DOUGH You may use 2 spoons to place
batter on the grid, using the 2nd spoon to push off the batter. Another
method is to first roll the batter into 2 balls, and then quickly place the 2
balls on the grids. Still another method used if you have a cookie press,
is to use the cookie press to dispense the pizzelle dough onto the grids.
The cookie press is faster than using 2 spoons, however the use of 2 pre­rolled balls is probably the fastest.

3. Close the baker, press the handles together, and fasten with the han­dle clip. Baking will take approximately 30-45 seconds depending on your
preference for browning, or the consistency of your batter. NOTE: Grip
only the black, cool-touch handle parts. Use care not to touch the heated
metal housing area near the handles.

4. Remove pizzelles from the grid with a spatula. If flat pizzelles are
desired, place on a counter top to cool. If you wish to shape your piz
zelles, do so by removing one pizzelle from the grid and shaping immedi
ately while still warm. Your 2nd pizzelle will remain warm and
pliable on the hot grid until you are ready to remove it for shaping. You
may use the included Cone Roller to form small cone shapes.

5. If you need to take a short break, close the baker to reserve heat.
When you return to baking, you will notice that the first two pizzelles will

SNOW FLAKE EDGE PIZZELLES If you want a “snow flake” edged piz
zelle, one that has an irregular, flowery edging, use a smaller amount of
batter. In this way your pizzelles will not fill out to the “full-circle” size. The
batter will not spread out to cover the full pattern on the grid. This “under
size” gives the pizzelle the attractive, irregular edge “snow-flake” border
preferred by many.

FULL-CIRCLE SIZE PIZZELLES If you want a full size pizzelle, one that
fills out the “full-circle” of the pizzelle pattern on the grid, place a greater
amount of batter on the grid. The batter should spread out to go beyond
the full pattern of the grid. After baking, you may use a kitchen scissors to
trim off the extra “flashing” around the cookie circle to obtain a full
patterned pizzelle.

SERVING & STORING Pizzelles are light and crisp. Serve them plain or
dusted with powdered sugar. Also, they can be easily shaped while still
