The IDEAL IK1602 waffle maker is designed to prepare 4 waffles simultaneously. To operate it, follow these steps:

1. Place the appliance on a flat, stable and heat resistant surface.

2. Wipe the heating plates (6) with a damp cloth and grease. Close the cover (5).

3. Switch the appliance on to the mains in accordance with the parameters given. The indicator light (3) will illuminate.

4. Set the temperature with the thermostat (2). While the appliance is heating up, the lamp (1) lights up and will go out when the appliance reaches the required temperature.

5. Open the lid (5) by holding the handle (4). Carefully pour the waffle batter onto the lower heating plate. Attention: When pouring the waffle batter onto the lower heating plate, ensure that the mould is completely covered. Too much batter may flow out of the appliance and contaminate it.

6. Close the lid (5) gently. During baking, the indicator light (1) lights up and goes out. The thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
