Why does the ready light stay on even when the waffles seem finished?

Why does the ready light stay on even when the waffles seem finished?

Direct answer: The ready light may stay lit because the appliance is maintaining temperature, not because the waffle has completed cooking. Use the texture and colour of the waffle, not the light alone.

Diagnostic steps

1. Check whether the waffle still feels soft in the middle.
2. Leave the lid closed a little longer and compare the result.
3. Confirm you are using the correct amount of batter for the mould size.
4. Test another waffle using the same setting, then adjust the cooking time if needed.

Expected result

The ready light should be used as a guide, while the waffle finishes cooking to your preferred browning level.

When to stop

Stop if the light never changes state and the appliance seems to ignore temperature changes.

When to contact support

Contact support if the ready light behaviour does not match the heating performance across several uses.
