baking cycle begins. It is very typical to have a small amount
of batter run over grid and down unit. However, if an
excessive amount of batter runs over, use less batter.
5 Cover will rise slightly as waes begin to bake. Do not open
cover while steam is escaping. Most wae recipes bake in
approximately 5 minutes on the low setting, 4-½ minutes on
the medium setting and 4 minutes on the high setting.
Times will vary based on thickness of mixture. Waes are
generally done when steam no longer escapes from sides
and front of unit. NOTE: Waes will split if upper housing is
opened too early.
6 Remove waes from the cooking plate.
NOTE:The Ready light may cycle on and o during cooking.
This indicates that the thermostat is maintaining the unit at
the proper cooking temperature.
7 If additional baking is to be done, close wae maker to
retain heat. Always be sure the green light goes on again
before making more waes.
8 Close cover and wait for Ready light to come on before
preparing another batch of waes.
Wae Baking Tips
1 Set the Wae Temperature Control to your desired setting.
At rst, try a setting in the middle. You may later adjust
it lower or higher according to your preference. A lower
setting produces a lighter colored wae, while waes
made at a higher setting are darker and crisper. Dierent
wae batters will also cook up dierently. Over time, you
will nd your perfect setting for the batter you use.
2 When preparing wae batter, do not over mix or waes
will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry
ingredients disappear.

3 The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped
wae, without overowing, will vary with dierent wae
batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you
gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid
of wae maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of
the grid.
4 For more evenly shaped waes, spread thick batters to
outer edge of grid, using a heat proof spatula or other non-
metallic utensil before closing lid.
5 Cake-based waes, such as the Chocolate Waes are more
tender than regular waes, and may require more care
when removing from wae maker. You may want to break
these waes into halves or quarters before removing. Use a
spatula to support waes when removing from the wae
maker.
6 To retain crispness, move baked waes to a wire cooling
rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
7 When serving several waes at one time, keep waes hot
and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven
until ready to serve.
8 Already cooled waes can be re-warmed and re-crisped,
individually, by returning to hot wae maker. Set Wae
Temperature Control to low. Place wae on grid so grooves
match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching
carefully to prevent burning.
9 Baked waes freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack.
Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container,
separating waes with wax paper. Reheat frozen waes in
toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
