GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THE
WAFFLE CONE MAKER
Take a minute to identify the key features of the Wae Cone Maker (Figures 1 and 3).
On the right you will observe a red “Baking” light and the green “Ready” light. The red
light, when lighted, indicates the wae plates are being heated. The green light, when
lighted, signals that the wae plates are up to temperature and “ready” to bake. To
open the lid, release the locking latch (Figure 1).
The Color Control Dial permits you to adjust the temperature of the wae plates. In
order to bake at a higher temperature, increase the Dial setting. To reduce the
temperature, turn the Dial down to a lower setting. You will want to find the optimum
Color Dial setting that gives you waes of just the right color. The best setting of the
Color Control Dial is usually in the range of 2 to 3 ½. When you find the best setting,
the baking time is usually 80 to 100 seconds and you may be able to use the
sequencing of red and green lights to help time the baking cycle. Otherwise you may
find it helpful to use a timer. As you make final adjustments of the Color Control Dial,
you will find that only small movements of that Dial, such as ½ graduation, make a
noticeable change to the color and timing.
The wae cone maker is equipped with a locking latch designed to minimize lifting
of the lid during the baking cycle. This will help maintain uniform thickness of the
wae cone.
This latch can be conveniently unlocked by lifting the finger release (Figure 1) which is
an integral part of the latch.
Provision has been made for cord storage as described in the cleaning and storage
section. The cord can be wrapped under The wae cone maker with the electrical
plug secured in a slot molded into the base.
The wae cone maker can be stored upright to save shelf space. Simply close the lid
and stand it up on the flat hinged end.

USING THE WAFFLE CONE MAKER FOR FIRST TIME
Set the Color Control Dial to about 2 ½ to 3. Close the lid. Insert the wae cone maker
power cord into a 120V-60HZ outlet. Let it warm up and cycle a few times - about 5
minutes. The Green and Red lights will go on and o alternately a few times.
Spray or wipe the wae plates lightly with a vegetable oil spray the first time you use
the wae cone maker and anytime thereafter should your wae cones stick.
BAKING WAFFLE CONE TIPS
Use one of our recommended wae cone recipes included here or select a family
favorite. The mixture should be adjusted with a bit of oil or a pinch more flour so that it
is of a consistency to spoon easily and run slowly but not freely from a small ladle.
One wae takes a little less than ¼ cup (or 3 tablespoons) of batter. Find a spoon just
this size or use a measuring cup. For best results, do not overfill the wae iron.
BAKING YOUR FIRST WAFFLE CONE
When the green light is ON, ladle the appropriate
amount of batter directly in the center or slightly
above the center of the wae pattern. Promptly
close the lid. As you close the lid, the latching
mechanism under the lid handle should snap
securely under the base of the wae cone maker,
thus locking down the lid. If the latch does not
automatically snap under the base, use your finger
to depress the release arm (Figure 2) to complete
the latching action.
Lift the lid carefully in 60 seconds to check the
color of your first wae. If it is too light, bake
another 20 to 40 seconds.
It may take a few tries to find the best setting of the Color Control Dial; it is finely
calibrated and sensitive.
A small movement of the Color Control Dial makes a noticeable dierence in the color
of the cone. For best results, adjust the Color Control Dial ½ grade higher to darken the
cone and ½ grade lower to lighten the cone. When you have the setting just as you like,
the green and red lights usually can be used to time your baking cycle.

Here is how the red and green timer lights work. Ladle the batter onto the plate when
the green light is ON; in 20-30 seconds it will go o and the red light will come ON.
This indicates that the plates are heating. In another 30 to 40 seconds, the red light
goes o and the green light will turn ON. Bake another 20 seconds and then the wae
should be ready to remove and form. If you find it easier, use a timer and bake your
cones for 80 to 100 seconds.
Note: Always unplug the wae cone maker immediately after use. Never leave it
unattended when plugged in. Children should not be allowed to use the wae cone
maker except in the presence of an attentive adult.
ROLLING THE CONE
The cone form provided with your wae maker helps you make uniformly shaped
cones with ease. After a few cones, you will develop the knack of holding the warm
cone and shaping it into a neat form perfect for a scoop of your favorite frozen treat.
Follow the illustrated steps the first few times you make cones to perfect your skills. As
soon as the wae is baked, remove it from the wae cone maker. Immediately place
it on a dry soft cloth as shown below in Figure 4. Position the point of the cone-form,
about ½ inch from the edge of the wae with the cone-form resting across the
diameter of the wae. Use the edge of the cloth to lift one edge of the wae up onto
the cone form. Then using the cloth initially to help support the hot wae, press the
wae snugly against and partially around the cone form. Then let the cloth fall back as
you roll the cone forward until the wae completely enwraps the cone form (Figure 5).
Hold the wae on the cone form. With the overlapped wae seam down, press firmly
down against the wae and cone form to “freeze” the cone into shape (Figure 6).
While the cone is still warm, pinch the bottom to seal it and prevent drips of ice cream
from leaking out when the cone is filled. Hold the wae cone around the form in this
way until it is suciently cool and sti enough to hold its shape.
The cloth helps to protect your fingers from the hot wae. If your fingers are
comfortable with the heat, you may find the cloth unnecessary. But don’t forget to
pinch the bottom of the cone together to prevent leaks!
Set the warm cone aside in a cone holder or a tall iced tea glass until it cools or until
you are ready to serve. If you plan to use the cones later, allow them to cool and dry
completely before storing in a sealed plastic bag or tightly covered container. Most
cones will keep several weeks when packaged this way and stored in a cool dry place.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Once you feel comfortable making cones, try filling the cone with ice cream and
serving the cone while still hot. The softening ice cream enhances the flavor of the
cone, like a yummy warm cookie a la mode.
Try forming the warm waes into bowl shapes to be filled with ice cream, frozen
yogurt, or fresh berries and whipped cream. While still hot, press the wae into a 3 or
4-inch mun tin. Crimp the edges to make the wae fit into the mold. Or press the
hot wae over the bottom of a small bowl or custard cup. A pair of fluted mun tins,
about 3-4 inch diameter are ideal – simply press the wae between them. For
the holidays, fill these edible bowls with candies, shelled nuts or fruit salad and a
scoop of sorbet.
How about Ice Cream Sunday Turnovers! For a festive end to a relaxed meal with
family and friends, fill hot waes with ice cream then fold while still warm and serve
immediately. Here’s how; a few minutes before dessert, set out your favorite ice cream,
sherbet, toppings, chocolate chips and nuts. Make a wae. While it is still hot, place
the wae on a plate. Scoop some ice cream and topping on one side of the wae the
fold it in half and seal. Eat this ice cream Sunday turnover while the wae is still
warm. The warm wae melts some of the ice cream and is chewy and crunchy at the
same time.

Wae Wafers – Wae cone batter makes a crisp cookie that keeps for a long time.
Bake a wae cone; slide it onto a plate then cut the wafer in 4 neat triangles while still
warm. Cool these wedges on a wire rack then store them. Garnish an ice cream parfait
or a dish of pudding with one of these elegant fan shaped cookies.
Cones never go to waste. Less than perfect cones can be cooled then crumbled and
used to garnish desserts. Or use crumbled cones in place of graham crackers for pie
crusts and cheesecakes.

RECIPES FOR DELICIOUS CONES
Here are three of our favorite cone recipes – the rich buttery wae cone you find in a
specialty ice cream parlor, a light and refined wafer cone and an indulgent chocolate
cone, almost good enough to eat on its own. A pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of
lemon or orange flavor can be added to customize any of these simple recipes. Use a
fork or small spatula to stir the batter. It will be somewhat thick but spoon able onto
the wae cone plate. Store leftover batter in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let it
warm up to room temperature before using.
Gourmet Waffle Cone
This is our basic recipe for a rich buttery waffle cone.
1 whole egg ¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg white ²/³cup sifted all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled slightly

flour and stir slowly until all flour is moistened. Beat another 15 seconds to incorporate the flour and
remove all lumps. Add the melted butter and stir until well blended.
3. Spoon 3 tablespoons (1 ½ ounces) of batter in the center or slightly above center of the iron. Close the
lid, lock the latch (Figure 2), bake for 1 minute and then check for proper color. Cook an
additional 20 to 40 seconds if necessary.
4. Quickly remove the waffle from the waffle cone maker onto a clean cloth towel. Use the cloth to help
lift and roll the waffle around the cone form. Hold the cone a few seconds to set its shape, then place
in a cone holder, iced tea glass or on a wire rack or to cool.
Elegant Wafer Cones
A bit lighter than our gourmet cones, this batter makes a delicate wafer cone. Cake flour ensures
the best results. If you use all-purpose flour, you may need to add a small amount of additional oil
to the recipe.
2 whole eggs 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon salt 1 cup cake flour
²/³cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Makes 6-8 waffle cones
1. Stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar. Set aside.

CORD SAFETY
A short power supply cord is provided with this appliance to reduce the risk resulting
from the cord becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord and causing the
wae cone maker to overturn, spilling its hot contents. While The Legacy Companies
does not recommend it, extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, it must have an integral ground wire,
a three prong plug and the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least 10 amperes. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not hang over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or pets or tripped over.
