What are some general operating instructions for mechanical bakers?

Always use fresh batter and do not allow it to warm up too much. During operation, frequent cleaning with a soft-bristled brush and re-seasoning the grids as needed will ensure a great tasting product. Leave the grids in the closed position whenever possible because open grids cause excessive carbon build-up. If the baker is not going to be used within 20-30 minutes, turn the unit off. Do not apply beeswax, paraffin, or any other waxes to grid surfaces.

---

How do you pre-heat the mechanical baker unit?

Flip the Power Switch to the ON Position. The Red Light will turn ON and stay on while the machine is in operation. The Green Light will turn ON indicating the machine is heating. When the Green Light goes OFF, the unit has reached the correct temperature and you can begin baking. The Green Indicator Light will continue to cycle OFF/ON during the baking operation.

How do you initially season new coated grids?

After the initial seasoning of a new unit, coated grids do not need to be seasoned regularly. Depending on usage, or if coated grids have been scoured in the cleaning process, a very light spray of Seas’n-Kleen may be needed prior to the next use. Do not use metallic utensils on coated grids.

---

How long should non-coated grids be seasoned for proper operation?

Prior to first use of a new baker, non-coated grids must be seasoned for at least 1½ to 2 hours for proper operation.

---

How do you season baker grids?

1. Flip the Power Switch to the ON position and allow the baker to pre-heat.
2. Open grids and lightly spray Seas’n-Kleen (Gold Medal Item No. 5524CN) on the grid surfaces.
3. Close the baker, set timer to 3 minutes, and allow the grids to season through one cook cycle without product. (Always turn the Timer Knob past 3, then set the desired cooking time.)
4. If sticking occurs during baker operation, lightly re-spray Seas’n-Kleen on the grid surfaces.

---

How do you prepare batter?

1. Place 40 oz of water into a bowl and add (1) 5 lb bag of mix.
2. Stir with wire whisk until smooth.
3. Rest batter 10 minutes.
4. A 2 oz ladle makes one 8 inch cone (one cup makes 5 cones).

---

What are the baking instructions for mechanical units?

1. Open the grid assembly and lightly season both grids with Seas’n-Kleen (for non-stick coated grid models, only spray as needed).
2. Use a 2 oz ladle to dispense batter into the center of the lower grid.
3. Close the top grid.
4. Turn Timer Knob to 1 minute. (Always turn the Timer Knob past 3, then set the desired cooking time.)
5. When the unit beeps, remove cone from grill and form immediately using the Easy Waffle Cone Roller (Gold Medal Item #5028).
6. Be sure cone is pushed down into the bottom of the cone roller to make a closed end (this keeps the cone from leaking).
7. Grids should be re-seasoned as needed during baking and after each cleaning.

Keep the grids closed between baking periods for best baking performance. Use a soft bristled brush to remove any cone residue from grids while baking.

What are some general operating instructions for digital bakers?

Always use fresh batter and do not allow it to warm up too much. During operation, frequent cleaning with a soft-bristled brush and re-seasoning the grids as needed, will ensure a great tasting product. Leave the grids in the closed position whenever possible because open grids cause excessive carbon build-up. Do not apply beeswax, paraffin, or any other waxes to grid surfaces.

---

How do you pre-heat the digital baker unit?

Flip the Power Switch to the ON position. The display will read “Lo” until the unit reaches 75°F (24°C), and the Heat Indicator Light will turn ON and remain on until the unit reaches the set cooking temperature. The digital baker has a preset cooking temperature of 385°F (196°C), and cook time of 1 minute (1:00). When the Heat Indicator Light goes OFF, the unit has reached the correct temperature and is ready for use. The Heat Indicator Light will continue to cycle OFF/ON during the baking operation.

---

What does the digital control view display?

The digital control view displays the temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, and the heat indicator light which turns on when the unit is heating.

---

What are the baking instructions for digital units?

1. Open the grid assembly and lightly season both grids with Seas’n-Kleen (for non-stick coated grid models, only spray as needed).
2. Use a 2 oz ladle to dispense batter into the center of the lower grid.
3. Close the top grid and press the Start Button. The digital display will show the cook time countdown. When the countdown is complete, the unit will beep and the display will return to the temperature view (unless the time display was selected).
4. When the unit beeps, remove cone from grill and form immediately using the Easy Waffle Cone Roller (Gold Medal Item #5028).
5. Be sure cone is pushed down into the bottom of the cone roller to make a closed end (this keeps the cone from leaking).
6. Grids should be re-seasoned as needed during baking and after each cleaning.

Keep the grids closed between baking periods for best baking performance. Use a soft bristled brush to remove any cone residue from grids while baking.

What is the procedure for daily cleaning and removing excess carbon for non-coated models?

1. With the machine OFF, unplug the unit and allow it to cool before attempting to clean.
2. Place a shallow drip pan under the grids. Open top grid, then wipe down both grid surfaces to clean, using a clean cloth dampened with hot water. A soft PLASTIC bristle brush may be used if needed.
3. Use a cloth sprayed with concession equipment cleaner (Gold Medal Item #2580 Watchdog Concession Equipment Cleaner) to wipe down the rest of the baker.

Do not use oven cleaners or abrasive materials as they will damage parts of the machine.

4. The drip pan may be taken to the sink to clean.
5. Re-season grids as described in Grid Seasoning section.

How do you clean extra dirty grids?

For extreme purposes only, to clean extra dirty grids, use a light coating of Kleen-Sweep (Gold Medal Item No. 2173CN) on grids ONLY (DO NOT USE ON NON-STICK COATED GRIDS), then completely remove any Kleen-Sweep using a clean cloth dampened with hot water. Always discard the first waffle/cone made after using Kleen-Sweep.

Do not get Kleen-Sweep on skin, paint, floors, walls, or plastic tiles and do not use on any coated grid or coated surface! Use rubber gloves and protective eyewear when using Kleen-Sweep. If contact is made, wash immediately with water. Review all warnings on Kleen Sweep product prior to use.
