Introduction

Walking into a home filled with the warm smells of coffee brewing,
sausage patties sizzling in the pan, and waffles baking makes one feel
instantly comfortable. For many people, breakfast is the most important
meal of the day, and often the only hot one eaten. It would be difficult to
dash out of the house with nothing more than a doughnut under the
belt if there was a tempting bowl of granola or a stack of hot waffles
waiting on the table.

For me, brunch is a pleasurable way to entertain on any given Saturday,
Sunday or holiday. Served late morning into early afternoon, it combines
breakfast and lunch and is a leisurely experience, casual and easy. Since
my kitchen at home is warm and inviting, I find my friends like to
congregate in the kitchen.

Usually, I prepare a few dishes, set them out on the buffet, and allow
people to help themselves. If I’m making waffles, I have the batter ready,
the SwivelBaker™ preheated, and spoon the batter out on demand.
Sometimes I fold berries into the batter, other times I fill my nicest bowl
with an assortment of warm poached fruit.

And to make the brunch even more festive, I like to serve chilled
champagne poured over fresh orange juice or peach juice.

Removing Plates

1 Ensure that your SwivelBaker™ is

unplugged and has completely cooled
prior to removing plates.

2 To remove the bottom waffle plate,

open the SwivelBaker™ up by pulling the
retractable handle out and then lift straight
up (see figure 1). Place one hand on the
base while lifting the bottom handle
straight up and out of the housing
(see figure 2).

3 To remove the top plate, hold the top

housing as shown in figure 3 and slide the
top plate lock lever straight up. Lift the
plate away and up from the top housing.

Attaching the Plates

1 Ensure that your SwivelBaker™ is

unplugged and has completely cooled
prior to attaching plates.

2 The bottom plate is the plate that has the

handle. On the opposite side of the handle
is a protruding nub. Line the nub up with
the hole located in the back of the bottom
housing (see figure 4). Push in while
pressing the handle down until it snaps
into place.

3 The top plate also has a nub on the plate

that must be placed into the opening of
the top plate housing (see figure 5). Slide
the top plate locking lever up, then press
the top plate into place. While holding the
top plate, release the locking lever and
ensure that it has slid into the groove of
the top SwivelBaker™ plate (see figure 6.).

Using Your SwivelBaker™

1 Close the SwivelBaker™ and plug into a 120 volt outlet. The Red

Power Light will go on, indicating that the SwivelBaker™ has power
and is ready to begin preheating. The red power light will remain on
until you unplug the unit.

2 Press the On/Off button to begin the preheating process.

The LC display will illuminate and you will notice three blinking
bars indicating that your SwivelBaker™ is preheating. In approximately
4 -5 minutes the Green Ready Light will illuminate and you will hear
4 short beeps

3 Before the first waffle of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly

coat the top and bottom waffle grids with vegetable oil or melted
shortening. Cooking spray will also work well for this purpose.

4 Ladle just enough batter to fill the lower waffle plate so that the

peak areas of the plate are covered (about 1 cup). If necessary, use
a spatula to spread the batter into the corners of grid.

5 Press the Color button to the desired time setting from 2:30

(lightest) to 5:00 (darkest). If you desire a crispier waffle, press the
Crisp button and you will notice a blue light illuminate under the
Crisp button.

6 Close the baker and push the retractable handle in. Rotate the

SwivelBaker™ 180° clockwise and pull the retractable handle back
out. Within 30 seconds the timer will start and the Green Ready
Light will go out.

7 When the selected time is up, you will hear 3 beeps and the Green

Ready Light will illuminate. To remove the waffle, rotate the unit 180°
counter - clockwise and lift the handle straight up.

8 Using an oven mitt or pot holder, remove the bottom plate from the

SwivelBaker™ housing by lifting straight up and away from the
housing. Use caution as the plate is extremely hot.

WARNING: The SwivelBaker™ plate handle and plate will be hot.
Use a pot holder, or oven mitt before attempting to remove the bottom
plate. After removing the waffle from the bottom plate, place the waffle
plate back into the housing. Do not place the waffle plate on a counter,
or any other surface to avoid damage resulting from the hot plate.

9 Replace the bottom plate back into the housing. If you would like to

make additional waffles, begin from Step 2 of this section.

10 When you are finished baking, simply press the On/Off button and

unplug from the wall outlet; the Red Power Light will go off.

11 After your SwivelBaker™ has completely cooled, the waffle plates

should be cleaned according to the section “Care & Cleaning” of
this manual.
