your food.
N.B. It is important to lock the plates, to ensure your waffles and pancakes

off during this process. You will need to assess if the food is cooked by
firmly pressing the release button and lifting the lid.
nWhen you are happy the food is cooked, remove it by gently loosening
the edges with a heat-proof plastic spatula.

the ‘OFF’ position and unplug the power cord from the mains. Allow the
appliance to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.
