The W16 produces stick-format waffles at 1200W for continuous café and dessert counter service. Four waffle cavities per cycle allow sequential plating during morning or event rushes. Operators in mobile catering and hotel breakfast stations use this format for portion-controlled service.
Commercial Application
Stick waffles require consistent heat distribution across thin elongated plates. The W16 maintains operating temperature between batches without manual adjustment. Cafés serving takeaway breakfast items and food trucks offering dessert formats rely on compact footprint models that deliver repeatable results during peak hours.
Each cycle completes in 3–4 minutes depending on batter viscosity and desired colour. Operators prepare batter in advance and portion directly into heated cavities. Four-cavity configuration supports staggered plating when multiple orders arrive simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the plate dimensions and waffle stick length?
A: Each cavity produces one stick waffle approximately 18 cm long and 3 cm wide. Four cavities operate simultaneously per cycle. Plate depth determines final waffle thickness at approximately 1.2 cm.
Q: How many waffle sticks can this unit produce per hour?
A: At 3.5 minutes per cycle, the W16 completes 17 cycles per hour. This yields 68 waffle sticks during continuous operation. Actual throughput varies with batter temperature and operator plating speed.
Q: What electrical supply does the W16 require?
A: The unit operates on 220–240V single-phase supply at 1200W draw. Standard UK 13A plug connection suffices. Ensure circuit breaker capacity accommodates simultaneous operation with other equipment.
Q: What material are the waffle plates and how is maintenance performed?
A: Plates use cast aluminium with commercial non-stick coating. Clean with soft cloth and warm water between service periods. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that damage coating. Re-seasoning is not required.
Q: Is this model suitable for home use or only commercial operations?
A: The W16 is a commercial-grade unit built for continuous service in cafés, food trucks and hotel operations. Construction and electrical specification exceed domestic appliance standards. Home users typically select lower-wattage consumer models.
