Why operators choose the Apuro HS985-A:

• High-margin commercial output — produces up to 30 golden, fluffy, 180mm diameter Belgian-style waffles every hour to easily keep pace with breakfast rushes and dessert orders.

• Premium coated die-cast aluminium plates — heavy-duty non-stick cooking plates ensure rapid, even heat distribution across the grid, preventing hot spots and enabling effortless waffle release with minimal oil.

• Mess-free perimeter overflow channel — integrated circular non-stick drip channel catches expanding excess batter around the plate perimeter, keeping commercial benchtops clean and reducing waste.

• Independent temperature & timer dials — simple rotary thermostat (50°C to 250°C) paired with an audible countdown timer ensures consistent browning and foolproof repeatable results for all kitchen staff.

• Durable stainless steel construction — polished commercial-grade stainless steel casing resists continuous kitchen wear and wipes clean in seconds after service.

• Heat-resistant ergonomic Bakelite handle — cool-touch, heavy-duty handle allows safe, comfortable operation and simple unit repositioning during service prep.

• Standard 10A plug-and-play efficiency — draws an economical 1000W (1.0kW) on standard Australian single-phase 230V power, connecting directly to any 10 Amp benchtop socket.

Technical Specifications

Operating & Service Notice

To preserve the non-stick coating and extend plate longevity, season the aluminium plates lightly with food-grade cooking oil prior to initial daily use. Never use metal tongs, sharp spatulas, steel wool, or abrasive scouring pads on the non-stick surface—always use heat-resistant silicone, wooden, or nylon utensils. Wipe down the cooking surface with a soft, damp cloth while the unit is still warm at the end of each shift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size waffles does the Apuro HS985-A produce?

The machine bakes traditional round Belgian-style waffles measuring 180 mm in diameter, featuring deep pockets designed to hold syrups, fruit compotes, whipped cream, and ice cream.

How many waffles can this commercial waffle maker produce per hour?

The Apuro HS985-A has an output rating of up to 30 fresh waffles per hour, depending on your batter recipe, plate temperature setting, and desired level of browning.

How does the overflow channel keep the work area clean?

Around the outer edge of the circular plate is an integrated non-stick trough. If an operator accidentally pours excess batter onto the plates, it expands safely into the channel rather than spilling over the sides onto your prep bench.

How do you clean the non-stick waffle plates?

The non-stick coating allows waffles to release cleanly without heavy carbon build-up. Once cooled to a safe handling temperature, gently wipe away crumbs and excess oil with a soft microfibre cloth or paper towel; avoid harsh chemicals or metal scourers that could scratch the non-stick surface.

What electrical outlet is required?

The Apuro HS985-A draws 1.0kW (1000W) on 230V power and comes factory-fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp single-phase plug, making it ready for instant countertop operation on standard commercial power outlets.
