Helpful Tips:
Different waffle makers are designed to cook waffles differently.
Before using it for the first time, kindly take time to carefully read your instruction manual. Recommend using setting #4 to achieve a golden brown baked Belgian waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles. For best results, do not open waffle maker during cooking process. Doing so will offset the timing mechanism. If you use a pan, it will only result in pancakes.
