Functions
Check that the cooking plates are clean
and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over
with a damp cloth. Place the jaffle maker
on a flat, level surface with the lid in the
closed position.
1. Insert the power plug into a 230/240V
power point and turn the power on. The red
power ‘HEATING’ light will illuminate.
2. Allow jaffle maker to preheat (with the
lid closed) until the green ‘READY’ light
illuminates.
3. During this time, prepare the jaffles by
buttering up to four slices of bread and
preparing filling.
4. Place up to two slices of bread on the
plates,buttered sides down. Place filling on
top of bread.
5. Place remaining bread on filling, buttered
side up.
6. Carefully close the lid and clip handles
together. Do not force the lid to close.
WARNING
Steam will be ejected from between the
cooking plates when the lid is closed. Be
careful not to make contact with the steam
as it may cause burns.
7. Toasting should take approximately three
minutes. Exact toasting time will be a
matter of taste. It will also depend on the
type of bread and type of filling used.
8. When the jaffle is cooked, remove it with
the help of a plastic or wooden spatula.
Never use metal tongs or a knife as these
can cause damage to the non-stick coating.
9. To maintain heat, keep the lid closed until
you are ready to toast the next sandwich.
NOTE
• The green ‘READY’ light will cycle on and off
during the toasting process indicating that
the correct temperature is being maintained.
• At all times the lid must be closed when
cooking.
• When using the jaffle maker for the first
time you may notice a fine smoke haze.
This is caused by the heating of some of the
components. There is no need for concern.
IMPORTANT
Fully unwind power cord from cord storage
facility before use.

Hints & Tips
BREAD
The jaffle maker is designed for super
and regular sized bread. With extra large
cooking plates, it cuts and seals the jaffle.
Most types of bread can be used; white,
wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain,
raisin loaf and so on. Try using flat breads
such as Lavash or mountain bread. When
using raisin bread, brioche or other sweet
breads which contain high sugar content,
remember they will brown faster.
FILLINGS
Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as
fresh fruit may give off excessive juices
when heated.
Be careful when biting into jaffles
containing fillings such as cheese and
tomato or jam as they retain heat and can
burn if eaten too quickly.
One quarter cup of filling for each jaffle is
sufficient. Do not overfill your jaffles.
BUTTER OR MARGARINE
For best results we recommend to butter the
outside of the bread ie place filling between
the unbuttered sides of bread.
If you are on a low fat diet or kilojoule
counting, the outside of the bread may be
left unbuttered or use cooking spray of
choice. Spray directly onto the bread slices.
Season the plates occasionally to prevent
sticking and to make cleaning easier.
To season, brush the cooking plates
with a little vegetable oil and rub off the
excess with absorbent paper. Do this after
preheating the unit. Do not use spray on
non-stick coatings as this will effect the
performance of the non-stick surface on the
cooking plates.
For sweet snacks, a light sprinkling of castor
sugar over the outer buttered sides of the
bread will make them extra delicious.
For extra flavour use herb or garlic butter for
spreading on bread.
PASTRY
Frozen pastry can be used to create a light
crispy jaffle. Use sheets of store bought
frozen puff pastry and thaw slightly before
cutting into 4 equal squares and placing into
the jaffle maker. Cook as per instructions for
slices of bread.
REHEATING
If the jaffle is not being eaten immediately,
place it on a paper napkin to absorb
condensation. To keep for longer, place on a
rack in an oven-proof dish to keep warm in
a low oven, about 100°C. The jaffle will keep
hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will
then begin to dry out.

Care & Cleaning
IMPORTANT
DO NOT IMMERSE ANY PART OF THE
JAFFLE MAKER IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID.
• Before cleaning, turn the power off at the
power outlet and then remove the power plug.
• Allow your jaffle maker to cool slightly.
• The jaffle maker is easier to clean when
slightly warm.
• Always clean your jaffle maker after each use
to prevent a build up of baked-on foods.
• Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth.
If cooked on food is not removed by this
method, brush with a little oil or melted
butter. Allow to stand for five minutes then
wipe with a damp cloth.
NOTE
The cooking plates are coated with
a non-stick surface, do not use abrasives.
