HOW TO USE YOUR OSTER® WAFFLE MAKER

PREPARING YOUR WAFFLE MAKER FOR USE

Open unit by lifting the upper handle.
Before using for the first time, clean cooking plates with a cloth or sponge dampened with hot, soapy water. DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER. Rinse with dampened cloth or sponge and wipe dry.
When using for the first time, “season” the grids by rubbing lightly with cooking oil. Should sticking occur in later usage, re-season your unit.

Preparing waffles

Close unit and plug into outlet. Use only voltage specified on the bottom of unit. The On light (Red) () will come on. The Ready to Cook light (Green) () will come on immediately when in the OFF () position. Caution: Touch unit only by handles during use or directly after use.
Temperature Control Dial settings range from min for light waffles to the max for dark waffles. The Ready to Cook light (Green) () will turn off while heating up.
The unit is ready for use when the Ready to Cook light () comes on.
Open unit and pour approximately ¾ cup of waffle batter onto grids. For best results, pour batter in a circle around outer edge of waffle maker. (See Illustration) Close cover. It is very typical to have a small amount of batter run over grid and down unit. However, if an excessive amount of batter runs over, use less batter.
The cover will rise slightly as waffles begin to bake. Do not open cover while steam is escaping. Most waffle recipes bake in approximately 5 minutes on the low setting, 4-½ minutes on the medium setting and 4 minutes on the high setting. Waffles are generally done when steam no longer escapes from sides and front of unit.
When waffles are done, remove with a plastic fork or wooden tongs. note: The Ready to Cook light () may cycle on and off during cooking. This indicates that the thermostat is maintaining the unit at the proper cooking temperature.
Close cover and wait for Ready to Cook light to come on before preparing another batch of waffles.

Care anD CleaninG

Unplug and allow unit to cool before cleaning.
Clean waffle grids with cloth or sponge dampened with hot, soapy water. DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN WATER. Rinse with dampened cloth or sponge and wipe dry.
To remove cooked-on foods, use a nylon scrub pad or a non-abrasive cleanser. A steel wool pad or abrasive cleaners will damage the non-stick surface.
Store in the closed position.
Any servicing required should be performed only by an authorized service facility.
This appliance is for household use only.

hints for tasty waffles

Do not over-mix waffle batter. Beating egg whites separately and folding them gently into the batter surely will create a lighter, crispier waffle.
Completely bake waffles before removing from the unit.
Don’t open the Waffle Maker while steam is escaping from the sides and front of the unit.
Why not freeze-prepared waffles for those busy days ahead? Just bake the waffles as directed. Cool on a wire rack and wrap in moisture-proof paper or plastic. Quickly reheat in your toaster oven, broiler or microwave oven.

It’s PTFE AKA Teflon. It was likely made with PFOA or a similar but less-tested pollutant (GenX). The main danger is that it will produce toxic gases if heated empty, like all Teflon cookware. The appliance itself will probably not be carcinogenic in practice but the creation of it probably was.

will it work for 220 volt wiring?

This appliance, in the same model, is offered in Latinoamerica too. So it should work at 220 V too

Does it brown the waffles evenly?

No. Center was cooked but the outer edges were cooked only about half as much. The bottom cooked much faster than the top. I had tri-colored waffles; batter color, golden brown, dark crispy brown. Definitely covers all aspects of done.

Designed for 120V. I would say no.

Can you flip it upside down?

Although the CKSTWF2000 Belgian waffle maker doesn’t flip, it makes deep pocket waffles on either side.

The red light comes on when it is turn on ,go off as it heats up when it is ready for the batter the green light comes on.
Please note, the green light go out when the waffle is done baking.

Why are only half my waffles cooking?

It may be the amount of mix that is put in. I notice that happens to me if I put less than what is needed.
