[. . . ] Ensure that the appliance never comes into contact with water when the plug is inserted into a mains power socket, especially if it is being used in the kitchen or close to sources of water. Ensure that the power cable never gets wet or moist when the appliance is in use. Place the power cable such that it cannot be squashed or damaged in other ways. Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department. [. . . ] Heat the appliance briefly to the maximum temperature (Position 5) with the lid closed. When you have prepared a batter for the waffle iron according to your recipe book: 1. For this, insert the plug into a mains power socket and slide the control knob e to position 3. Should you have prepared a low-fat dough, such as a quark dough, then lightly grease the baking surface with butter, margarine or an oil suitable for baking. On this first use the development of a light odour may occur, caused by production residues (a slight smoke development is also possible). To determine the correct amount of batter, fill it with batter until the batter lightly touches the edge of the baking area. If necessary, increase or decrease the amount of batter used in the next waffle. You can open the lid to check the baking result after 2 minutes at the earliest. When the casing is open, there is the risk of receiving a fatal electrical shock. Before cleaning the appliance, remove the power plug from the wall socket and allow the device to cool down completely. Under no circumstances may the components of the appliance be submerged in water or other liquids!There would be the risk of a fatal electric shock upon the next use of the appliance should moisture be present in the voltage conducting elements . First of all, clean the baking surfaces with a dry paper towel to soak up the grease residue. Then clean all surfaces and the power cable with a lightly moistened dish cloth. As the ideal level of browning is wholly dependent on personal taste and the constituency of the batter, the baking time can vary: Therefore, bake the waffles until your own desired level of browning has been achieved. You can determine the level of browning either by adjusting the control knob e or through the baking time. In this way, the waffles can be baked from a golden yellow to a crispy brown. When removing the waffles, be sure not to accidentally damage the coating of the baking surfaces. If you do, it will be harder to separate the waffles from the surfaces. These could not only cause damage to the appliance, they can also leave traces that could be baked into the next waffles.
